Hina Khan Opens Up About Her Ongoing Battle with Stage 3 Breast Cancer, Sharing the Impact of Chemotherapy
Actress Hina Khan, known for her candid discussions about her health struggles, has provided her followers with another update on her journey through stage 3 breast cancer. Recently, she took to Instagram to share a striking image of her discolored nails, attributing the change to the side effects of chemotherapy.
In her post, Khan’s nails appeared darkened and frail, serving as a visual representation of the toll that cancer treatment can take on the body. She clarified that the discoloration was not due to nail polish, as some had speculated, but rather a direct result of the chemotherapy she is undergoing.
Addressing her fans, Hina humorously responded to inquiries about her nails, stating, “I am not wearing any nail polish; how can I pray with painted nails? Please use your brains, my dear friends!”
She went on to explain, “Nail discoloration is one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy. My nails have become brittle, dry, and sometimes lift from the nail bed. But here’s the bright side: all of this is temporary. Always remember, we are healing—Alhamdulillah.”
The actress’s openness about her condition provides insight into the psychological and physical challenges faced by cancer patients.
In addition to discussing her health, Hina recently engaged in the spirit of Ramadan, celebrating her first fast of 2025. She shared moments from her day, from her pre-dawn meal (sehri) to the serene experience of breaking her fast (iftar). Donned in a lovely green salwar kameez complemented by matching jhumkas, she radiated grace.
Her iftar spread was a feast for the eyes, revealing a table full of delectable dishes. Heartwarming images captured her sharing this special occasion with her mother.
“Ramadan Mubarak…How do I look? Day 1: A beautiful journey from sehri to iftar. Alhamdulillah…Please remember me in your prayers,” she captioned her post.
Hina Khan first disclosed her cancer diagnosis in June 2024, pledging to confront the disease with strength and resilience. Since that time, she has consistently updated her audience, highlighting not just the physical repercussions of her treatment but also the emotional complexities involved.
