Just like Hina Khan, popular Bollywood actress, Mahima Chaudhry also had breast cancer back in 2021, and she was treated at a hospital in Mumbai.

“I was the first person Hina called after she was diagnosed with cancer. I felt touched that she remembered me at such a crucial time in her life. She was considering going to America for her treatment, but I told her that we have everything available here in India and that she can be treat herself here.”
Mahima Chaudhry explains why she convinced Hina Khan to get treated in India instead of going to USA
Further, in the interview, Mahima Chaudhry explained the reason why she told Hina Khan to drop the idea of going to the US for her cancer treatment. The actress stated that India has highly skilled doctors and all the facilities and technology that are available in the US. Mahima also added that even in the US, most of the doctors are Indian. Not only this, Mahima also added she told Hina that if she decides to get treated in India, her family, friends, and loved ones will be around her to support her, which is way too crucial while recovering from cancer. She said:
“I convinced Hina to get treated here in India itself because let me tell you, that even in America, it’s Indian doctors who will be treating her. At the end of the day, it’s the same medicine, same doctors and the same treatment, and we have all of it now available in India. So why leave the country, the comfort of your family and friends and move someplace.”
For the uninitiated, Hina Khan is currently in the stage three of breast cancer. From facing constant pain to undergoing chemotherapy, she is going through a lot but continues to inspire people with her courageous character. According to a report in ETimes, Hina Khan recently shared an update on her battle with mucositis and revealed that she is recovering from it and feeling a bit better.
