For me, my work commitments matter. For me, my motivation, passion, and art matter. I refuse to bow down."
Encouraging her fans with her resilient attitude, Hina continued, "I attended the event and went straight to the hospital for my first chemo. I humbly urge everyone out there to first normalize the challenges of your lives, then set goals for yourself and try to live up to them all along the way. No matter how hard. Never back down. Never give up." The video received supportive comments from fans and colleagues, including Dalljiet Kaur, Ektaa Kapoor, and Mouni Roy.
