Hina Khan shares emotional journey of going "Straight to Chemotherapy" after attending an award show

The news of Hina Khan's diagnosis of stage 3 breast cancer has shocked the entire industry. On Monday, the actress shared a poignant video on her social media, documenting her visit to the hospital for her first chemotherapy session immediately after attending an award show.

In her post, Hina wrote, "At the award night, I knew about my cancer diagnosis, but I made a conscious choice to normalize it—not just for myself, but for all of us. This day marked the beginning of one of the most challenging phases of my life. Let's do some affirmations: we become what we believe in, and I have decided to take this challenge as an opportunity to reinvent myself. I am determined to keep positivity as the first tool in my toolkit. I choose to normalize this experience and consciously manifest the outcome I desire. My work commitments matter to me, as do my motivation, passion, and art. I refuse to bow down. The award I received right before my first chemo wasn't my only motivation; I attended the event to reassure myself that I am living up to the benchmark I set for myself. Mind over matter. I attended the event and went straight to the hospital for my first chemo. I urge everyone to first normalize the challenges in your lives, set goals, and strive to achieve them. Never back down. Never give up."
