Brave Indian actress Hina Khan has said goodbye to her beautiful long hair with great courage and transformed it into shorts before starting chemotherapy after breast cancer diagnosis which has made our hearts absolutely heavy.
Taking to her IG handle, Hina Khan posted a video of herself in which she is seen with a big smile on her face, getting her long hair (tied already in cute large braids) chopped off with the assistance of a hairdresser during the comfort zone of her room: however, her darling mom behind the camera spotted crying desperately after watching daughter letting go her hair so courageously.
Hina Khan, during the video, has also been seen consoling her mommy with great endear while saying: "It’s just hair mumma, baal hai. Aap nhi cut karti ho. Aap kitna baar itna length kiya hai phir itne ayein hai, phir itna kiya hai. Mumma aapki tabiyat kharab ho jayengi.”
Hina Khan also penned a detailed and powerful note during the caption of her haircut video which reads: "You can hear my mother’s wailing voice in Kashmiri
(blessing me) in the background as she prepared herself to witness something she never dared to imagine. Not all of us have the same tools at our disposal to manage heartbreaking emotions. To all the beautiful people out there, especially women who are fighting the same battle, I know it’s hard, I know for most of us, our hair is the crown we never take off. But what if you’re facing a battle so tough that you have to lose your hair—your pride, your crown? If you want to win you’ve got to take some tough decisions. And I choose to win. I have decided to give myself every chance possible to win this battle. I choose to let go of my beautiful hair before it starts falling off. I didn’t want to endure this mental breakdown for weeks. So, I choose to let go of my crown because I’ve realized my real crown is my COURAGE, my STRENGTH, and the love I have for myself. Aur haan.. I have decided to use my own hair to make a nice Wig for this phase.
Hair will grow back, eyebrows will return, scars will fade, but the spirit must remains whole.
I am recording my story, my journey, to ensure that my efforts to embrace myself reach everyone out there. If my story can make even one day of this heartwarming yet excruciating experience better for someone, it’s worth it. Also this day couldn’t have gone as I hoped without the presence of the people who have taken a vow to support me thru thick and thin.. MY PEOPLE @rockyj1 MOM @heenaladjoshi @manaanmeer @sachinmakeupartist1. And a big thank you to @dwyessh_hairwizard for coming all the way from Santacruz after his hectic day at his salon to make this as comfortable as possible.. loved the haircut Dwyessh Thank you and love you. May God ease our pain and give us strength to be victorious?? Plz Pray Pray Pray for me."
