Hina Khan Says Spirituality Helped Her Cope With Cancer Treatment Actress Hina Khan shared her personal experience with breast cancer, emphasizing how spirituality played a vital role in her emotional resilience during the grueling process of chemotherapy. Known for her role in the popular television series Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Hina revealed her diagnosis in June 2024, marking the beginning of a challenging chapter in her life. In a candid conversation on actress Soha Ali Khan’s podcast All About Her in December 2025, she reflected on her journey, describing it as one of the most difficult periods she had ever faced. Hina detailed the physical toll of her treatment, which included significant changes to her body. She admitted to gaining weight, experiencing hair loss, and even losing her eyelashes, all of which took a psychological toll. “I put on a lot of weight. My body changed. I lost my hair. That’s one blow, which is very hard,” she said. The emotional strain of seeing herself in the mirror was overwhelming, and she acknowledged the struggle of accepting her diagnosis and the subsequent treatment. However, she credited the unwavering support of her family and loved ones, along with her faith, for helping her maintain a positive outlook. “I have always believed that everything in life is temporary. Physical appearance changes. Vanity affects you, but sanity should replace it,” she explained. Hina encouraged cancer patients to prioritize positivity by surrounding themselves with supportive relationships, meditation, and spiritual practices. “Especially spirituality. It has changed me,” she added, highlighting its transformative impact on her mindset. The actress also stressed the importance of giving one’s best during treatment, even when the outcome is uncertain.#cancer_treatment #yeh_rishta_kya_kehlata_hai #soha_ali_khan #hina_khan #all_about_her
Pataudi Palace Ownership and Family Legacy The Pataudi Palace, a sprawling 150-room estate in Haryana, has been a central part of the Ali Khan family’s life for decades. The palace, also known as Ibrahim Kothi, was commissioned by Nawab Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi in 1935 and designed by British architect Robert Tor Russell, who also worked on Delhi’s Connaught Place. The family’s connection to the property dates back to the early 20th century, with its construction serving as a symbol of love and legacy. Soha Ali Khan, Saif Ali Khan’s sister, has a unique ownership stake in the palace, holding what was once the generator room, while Saif owns the majority of the estate. Soha’s ownership of the former generator room began after the palace was leased to Neemrana Hotels between 2005 and 2014. During this period, the family temporarily relocated to the space, which was later converted into a two-bedroom apartment. Soha explained that her parents, actor Sharmila Tagore and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, needed a place to stay while the hotel managed the property. “The palace was leased to Neemrana Hotels, and when it was, my parents needed a place to live, so the generator room was made into a very nice equivalent of a two-BHK,” she said in an interview with Housing.com. Despite the rest of the palace belonging to Saif, Soha is responsible for maintaining her portion of the property. The palace’s upkeep reflects a balance between practicality and preservation. Soha revealed that her mother, Sharmila Tagore, oversees the property’s accounts, ensuring that daily and monthly expenses are managed. She also explained the choice to whitewash the palace instead of painting it, citing cost-effectiveness.#soha_ali_khan #saif_ali_khan #sharmila_tagore #neemrana_hotels #pataudi_palace
Neetu Kapoor Shares Insights on Granddaughter Raha's Parenting and Family Dynamics Actors Neetu Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, currently promoting their film Daadi Ki Shaadi, recently discussed parenting, grandparenting, and family dynamics during a conversation with Soha Ali Khan. The discussion centered on their granddaughter Raha Kapoor, highlighting the contrasting parenting styles of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, as well as reflections on evolving family relationships. Neetu praised Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor for their approach to raising Raha, noting that the child has a deep respect for her mother. “Raha listens to Alia and she is a great mother, but Ranbir is like a friend to her,” Neetu said. She explained that Raha fears Alia’s strict discipline, describing her as a “disciplinarian” who teaches her “the right things,” such as avoiding TV and unnecessary indulgences. Neetu also shared a lighthearted anecdote about frequently disagreeing with Alia over spoiling Raha. “I am always fighting with her, saying, ‘Alia, at least let me give her one chocolate,’ but she insists, ‘No, can’t you understand sugar is not good for her?’” Reflecting on modern parenting trends, Neetu contrasted her own upbringing with today’s approaches. She recalled that during her time, there was less awareness about health and lifestyle choices. “My children would watch television every day while eating, and they would watch Bhagwan Dada and Amar Akbar Anthony during meals,” she said. Neetu acknowledged the progress in parenting today, stating that she respects the choices of current parents and avoids interfering. “Times are different. I did the best I could during my time, and today they are the best parents and know what to do,” she added.#alia_bhatt #ranbir_kapoor #soha_ali_khan #neetu_kapoor #riddhima_kapoor_sahni
Akansha Ranjan Kapoor Opens Up on Egg Freezing at 32: 'I Couldn’t Walk for 2–3 Days… It Felt Like a Big Balloon Inside Me' Akansha Ranjan Kapoor recently shared her personal experience with egg freezing at the age of 32 during a candid conversation with Soha Ali Khan on her podcast. The actor discussed the emotional and physical challenges of the procedure, offering a detailed account of her journey. Her decision to freeze her eggs was influenced by both medical advice and the experiences of her peers, highlighting the intersection of personal health and societal pressures. Kapoor explained that her choice was rooted in medical insights and the struggles she observed around her. She revealed that her Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels were notably low for her age, a factor that prompted her to consider the procedure. “Two-part answer. I had lots of people around me who were getting pregnant… everyone started doing tests, and they were like, ‘You should get your AMH done.’ So I got my AMH done… my AMH was pretty low for my age,” she shared. She emphasized that many of her friends faced unexplained infertility, which further reinforced her decision. Describing the process as a proactive step rather than a fear-driven one, Kapoor framed egg freezing as a form of “insurance for my future self.” She clarified that the decision was not motivated by anxiety but by a clear understanding of its importance for her long-term goals. “It wasn’t a fear; it was an understanding that it is something I need to do for my future self. And you just have to deal with it. It is kind of an insurance, I guess,” she said. Reflecting on the timing of her decision, Kapoor expressed regret for not acting earlier.#egg_freezing #fertility #akansha_ranjan_kapoor #soha_ali_khan #anti_mllerian_hormone
Akansha Ranjan Kapoor Shares Harrowing Experience of Egg Freezing Process Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, a 32-year-old actress known for her roles in web series like Guilty, Monica, O My Darling, and Ray, recently opened up about the physical and emotional challenges she faced during her egg freezing journey. In a candid conversation on Soha Ali Khan’s podcast All About Her, she detailed the reasons behind her decision, the intense physical discomfort, and her reflections on reproductive health. Kapoor explained that she chose to freeze her eggs due to concerns about her fertility, citing low Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels as a key factor. The AMH test, which measures ovarian reserve and fertility potential in women, revealed that her levels were at the lower end of the spectrum for her age. She emphasized that her decision was driven by a combination of personal health concerns and the challenges faced by those around her, many of whom struggled with unexplained infertility. “It wasn’t a fear; it was an understanding that it is something I need to do for my future self,” she said. The process, however, was far from painless. Kapoor described the physical toll of egg freezing, including severe bloating, heaviness, and pain that left her unable to walk for 2-3 days. She recounted how the injections caused a sensation akin to “a big balloon inside me,” making it difficult to stand straight. Her doctor noted that her small stature might contribute to the discomfort, but the pain was undeniable. “After the first day, there’s no way I can even walk,” she said, adding that the experience was unlike a typical menstrual cramp. Instead, it felt like a “discomfort” that left her feeling as though her stomach might burst. Kapoor’s ordeal extended beyond the physical.#akansha_ranjan_kapoor #soha_ali_khan #guilty #monica_omy_darling #ray
