Popular television actress Hina Khan has issued a concerning health update, directly linking Mumbai's deteriorating air quality to a significant impact on her well-being. This comes just months after the actress successfully completed rigorous treatment for stage 3 breast cancer.
Hina Khan Reacts to Mumbai's Severe AQI
Taking to her Instagram Story, Hina Khan shared a screenshot revealing the alarming state of Mumbai's atmosphere. The displayed Air Quality Index (AQI) reading was 209, which categorizes the air as 'poor' and poses health risks to the general population. The city also experienced misty weather, adding to the heaviness of the air.
Expressing her distress, Hina wrote, "What is happening? Can’t ever breathe, yaaa. Makes me reduce my outdoor activities. Constant coughing. It’s so bad in the morning as well." She explicitly stated that the polluted air has triggered persistent coughing and breathing difficulties for her, forcing her to cut back on activities outside her home despite having recently returned to a busy professional schedule.
A Tough Health Journey and Ongoing Recovery
Hina Khan has been remarkably open about her challenging battle with cancer. In a past conversation with IANS, she detailed the ordeal of her chemotherapy sessions. "It was tough, it was very tough; those days were extremely, extremely tough," she confessed.
She explained her treatment schedule, noting, "So in my case, I used to take chemotherapy every three weeks. So, my first week used to be extremely hard, so painful, I used to get a lot of pain in my nerves, but the rest of the two weeks were fab." Remarkably, she utilized those better weeks to travel and maintain a semblance of normalcy during her treatment.
Professional Front and a Call for Caution
On the work front, Hina was last seen in the project 'Pati Patni Aur Panga' alongside her husband, Rocky Jaiswal. While she remains active in her career, the current environmental conditions in Mumbai are posing a new set of health challenges during her recovery phase.
Beyond sharing her personal struggle, Hina Khan used her platform to urge her followers and fans to exercise caution. She advised everyone to take necessary precautions, prioritize their health, and stay safe amidst the rising levels of air pollution in the metropolitan city.
