Hina Khan, who is battling stage 3 breast cancer, is not letting the disease dampen her spirit or her drive to work. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Hina shared a video of herself returning to work, her team carefully concealing her scars as she donned a wig. In the video, she stated, "The show must go on."

Alongside the video, Hina penned an inspiring note: "My first work assignment after my diagnosis… Walking the talk is challenging, especially when facing life’s biggest challenges. So, give yourself a break on bad days; it’s okay… you deserve it. However, don’t forget to live your life on the good days, no matter how few they are. These days still hold importance. Accept the change, embrace the difference, and NORMALISE it."
Hina shared about her love for her work and how it keeps her motivated: "I look forward to the good days because I get to do what I love: Work. I love my work. I live my dreams when I’m working, and that is my greatest motivation. I want to keep working. Many people work regular jobs during their treatment without issues, and I am no different. I met a few in these months and trust me it changed my perspective."

She also clarified that undergoing treatment doesn't mean she's always confined to a hospital bed. "FYI I am undergoing a treatment but I am not always in the hospital..so to all you people out thr, Let’s NORMALISE working and if you have the strength and energy, do whatever makes you HAPPY," she encouraged, adding, "And to all you beautiful people who are battling this disease, Remember, it’s your story; it’s your life."
Hina's message is one of resilience and hope: "You decide what to make of it. Don’t give up and find what you love doing. Your work, your passion—if you don’t know what it is, invent it. But remember to give yourself the healing you deserve. Coz doing what you love is also Healing. ACCEPT, EMBRACE and NORMALISE IT."
