    Mahima Chaudhry to Khloe Kardashian: Bollywood and Hollywood stars who have spoken about their battle with cancer

    Mahima Chaudhary
    Cancer is a tough word to hear … for anyone. Somehow we think of it as a death knell, even with all the tech upgrades we’ve made over the years. It’s the same for celebrities who get the diagnosis – they must wade through the depths of despair before they can start looking ahead again. The latest star who felt the weight of the word is Bollywood actress Mahima Chaudhry. Image Credit: Insta/mahima__chaudhary_

    Chaudhry, who made her debut in Bollywood alongside Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Pardes’, spoke about her diagnosis with breast cancer. The video was shared by fellow actor Anupam Kher. In it, she recalls crying as she heard the news and when the oncologist called for chemotherapy. “When I started crying, my sister reprimanded me for behaving like a 17th century woman. We are just so terrified of the word ‘cancer’. I didn’t share it with my parents because they are so vulnerable. But if you catch it early, it’s treatable,” she says. Image Credit:

    Hamsa-1640074365183
    Telugu actress Hamsa Nandini recently disclosed her a Grade III Invasive Carcinoma (breast cancer). She isn’t alone – in 2020, says the World Health Organisation, about 2.3 million women were diagnosed this this type of cancer. The 34-year-old, known for films Atharintiki Dharedi’ and ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’, revealed on Monday her battle, which begun four months ago after discovering a tiny lump in her breast.

    Khloé Kardashian
    American reality TV star Khloe Kardashian was forced to go under the knife when she found a mole that was cancerous. She wrote in a post on her app and website back in 2016 about the incident. She said: “I'm writing this post with the hope that my story can get some of you in to see your doctor if you notice something wrong with your skin.” At the time, she had to have eight inches of skin removed. “It was definitely painful because it was a lot of skin … but most of the time, the removals haven't been that bad,” had said.

    Sonali Bendre
    When actors take a break from the limelight, many don’t give it a second thought, but fans of Sonali Bendre were in for a shock when she revealed that her time-out was caused by high grade cancer. When she did talk about her diagnosis, she kept it raw and real, going so far as to share a photo of herself bald – due to the treatment. Image Credit: Insta/iamsonalibendre

    Hugh Jackman
    ‘Les Miserables’ Hugh Jackman has fought many on-screen fights, including as ‘Wolverine’ in the X-Men series, but the real battlefield was off-the-set. He developed basal cell carcinoma, or skin cancer, in 2013, and he used his star power to raise awareness on the importance of sunscreen. “ “The doctors saw something that was a little irregular, so they took a biopsy and they’re getting it checked,” he wrote in a post on Instagram. “If by posting about this I remind one person to go see their dermatologist, I’m happy.” Image Credit: insta/thehughjackman

The veteran performer remained active on social media, keeping her followers up to date on her recovery. She even shared a photo of herself smiling during one of her chemotherapy treatments.
