Hina Khan pens a note on overcoming Neuropathic Pain to attend an event 

On October 7, Hina Khan took to her Instagram account to share a video of herself from an event. The actress shared the video along with a long caption detailing her struggle with ‘crippling pain' caused as a side effect of cancer treatment. She mentioned being resilient despite being in pain and showing up for the commitment despite being in two minds to cancel.

In a long caption, Hina wrote, “What a day it was.. as you all know I have this crippling Neuropathic Pain and it makes standing more than a few Mins at a stretch extremely difficult. This Event was a commitment made months before the side effects of my treatment presented itself. I’ll be honest, initially I wanted to refund and cancel this deal because this Event required me to stand for 1 and Half hour on the stage and I was extremely nervous and not sure if I will be able to pull it off. But somehow God gave me so much strength and I managed to make up my Mind because I didn’t want the organisers to face issues because of my health and limitations."

In her note Hina also mentioned that she prefers wearing cushioned footwear which comfort her, which is why she paired the saree with a sneaker in the video. She wrote, "Now a days anything cushioned in my feet gives me comfort in walking.. which is why we decided to wear a super comfy pair of shoes beneath my Saree. Like I said, Hum kaam karenge, aur ladenge (muscles and folded hands emojis).”

Hina Khan finds inspiration in the way other patients deal with the condition

In the same post, Hina Khan shared that she is in the know of other people who are battling the same condition and derives inspiration from that. She wrote, “I have known so many people in these months battling the same disease, Some have had better odds and some have had worse. But the way all these people face their challenges has been a real source of inspiration. They take their chemo, travel via local trains or buses with a smile on their faces. Some of them come alone, go back to their jobs or offices right after and during their infusion. Some stay near the hospital without family to get their treatment. Some have no means and they rely on others for every single thing.. but they do it nevertheless and they heal.. isn’t that amazing..If your body allows, and if they can do it .. and do it with a smile on their faces and positivity in their hearts. I can do it too. Blessed to have what I have and even while facing this phase of my life. I am thankful to almighty because I am able to do it .. and learn from so many brave souls.”

The actress concluded her note by mentioning being proud pf herself for not giving up. She stated, “With the show, some strength, Faith in almighty, some pills and the support of my team we managed to pull it off and I am so proud of myself that I didn’t give up (folded hands and evil eye emojis) My apologies @masabagupta for killing the look of this gorgeous saree.. but we managed some killer pictures (camera and wink emojis) Dua (prayers emoji).”
