Because of her candour regarding her diagnosis, Hina Khan is positioned alongside other Bollywood actors who have experienced same struggles. For example, in 2012, Manisha Koirala received a diagnosis of ovarian cancer. After receiving therapy in the US, she declared herself cancer-free by 2013. In 2018, while receiving chemotherapy and treatment in New York, Sonali Bendre talked about her battle with metastatic cancer. In a similar vein, Mahima Chaudhary disclosed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, received chemotherapy, and has since recovered.
By telling her tale, Hina not only brings attention to her own experience but also joins a group of famous people who have bravely and resolutely faced cancer, giving many people hope and inspiration.
