Emphasising the significance of regular check-ups, she added, "Just wanted to tell all the girls that are here reading this, to make sure you visit your gynaecologist once a year without fail to stay ahead of your health and safety, I've been doing that since I was 17 and that's how I can be so grateful I'm recovering well today."

"Thank you for everyone that came to the hospital and called and messaged constantly, you know who you are, and I'm forever grateful to have you in my life ," Anusha wrote in her Instagram post.

While Dandekar acknowledges that there are still a few weeks of full recovery ahead, she shared her joy at being able to walk outside, saying, "Still have a few weeks of full recovery ahead of me but it felt so good to walk outside today! Grateful beyond.”

Her personal journey, lauded by her peers, will help in promoting awareness about the importance of regular gynecological check-ups.
