Television actor Hina Khan has shared a poignant video on Instagram, revealing her choice to shave her head as she undergoes chemotherapy. Recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, Hina Khan has been documenting her journey on social media.

In the heartfelt video, the Big Boss runner-up shares a note saying, “I loved wearing my hair so short which I probably wouldn’t have done ever. Although I could not enjoy the Short-Hair-Phase long enough, it did look cool.” She wishes to continue wearing her pixie look after her hair grows back. 

Following clips showing her intense hairfall on clothing and pillows, the actor goes on to give a strong, positive message about how she has chosen to deal with her illness. “You can win this only if you embrace yourself, accept it, and I choose to accept my battle scars,” she says, “because I believe ki if you embrace yourself, you’re one step closer to your healing.”
