Hina Khan, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy for stage three breast cancer, shared the challenges she faces while working out in her new social media post. Along with the video, Hina penned a note, which read, “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 your mental health. And keeping a healthy mind is obviously unavoidable.”

The actress further 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 lose 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,” she shared.

Concluding her note, she said, “Each time, when it feels like I can’t get up and go do the work, I push harder. Because what else have I got other than my strength, my spirit and my willpower? So, what’s your excuse? (sic).”
