Reflecting on the moment when she was diagnosed, Hina recounts, "The night I found out, my partner came home while I was having dinner. After I finished, he told me the results were positive, and a tear rolled down his cheek. It hit me hard; for 10 minutes, I was silent.”
She recalled the poignant moment that changed her outlook: "Right before the diagnosis was shared, I had ordered falooda with my brother. When the bell rang for the delivery, it felt like ‘ghar mein meetha aaya hai.’ That falooda became a turning point for me. Instead of despair, I decided to stay positive. We ate the falooda together, and then we went to sleep.”
Hina also spoke about the strength of caregivers, saying, "I realized caregivers go through more than us. I made sure the atmosphere at home was always positive. I never behaved like a patient and ensured I was my usual, lively self."
During her treatment, Hina demonstrated immense resilience and determination. She shared how her surgery, which was expected to take 8 hours, extended to 15 hours. Yet, her first thought upon waking was for her caregivers. "When they took me out of the OT, everyone was standing at the gate. I smiled at them, held their hand, and that smile changed everything."
Hina’s inspiring story is a testament to her strength and belief in “mind over matter.” Watch all this and more on India’s Best Dancer vs. Super Dancer: Champions Ka Tashan, airing every weekend at 7 PM on Sony Entertainment Television.
