Actor Hina Khan is not willing to use her struggle with breast cancer as an excuse to skip her workout, even though her legs and feet are numb most of the time because of the chemo treatment amid ongoing breast cancer treatment. The actor said she will not let the fall define her, but her strength and willpower.

Hina’s not the one to look for an excuse

On Friday, the actor took to Instagram to share a video of herself going to the gym in heavy rainfall. She posted the video with an inspiring message.

“What’s Your Excuse? Exercise or any kind of Physical Activity is vital for maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle. But it’s even more essential and effective when one’s going through a phase of illness. Working out regularly not only helps you feel stronger physically but it also gives sustenance to our Mental Health. And keeping a Healthy Mind is obviously unavoidable,” she wrote.

Hina added, “In the course of my chemo treatment I face severe Neuropathic Pain which makes my legs and feet numb most of the times, sometimes while Working out I loose control of my legs and fall over due to the numbness..But I only focus on Getting Back Up. I won’t let the Fall define me .. I will be defined by the strength I show to get up each time. Each time when it feels like I can’t get up and go do the Work, I push harder. Coz what else have I got other than my strength, my spirit and my Willpower.. So, what’s your excuse?”

She wrapped up her post with hashtags: #ScarredNotScared, #DaddysStrongGirl, #AWindowToMyJourney, #TheGirlWhoNeverGivesUp and #OneDayAtATime.

Fans shower her with love

Her well-wishers were amazed to see her dedication, and sent in love through comments on the post. “Amazing,” wrote one user, while another mentioned, “Nice”. “Strongest Sherkhan More power to you,” shared one user. One commented, “Your smile melts my heart… strongest”. “Respect to Hina Khan,” shared one user.
