"What a day it was... I have this crippling neuropathic pain"
Hina Khan, currently battling stage-three breast cancer, has revealed that she is also facing crippling neuropathic pain as a side effect of her treatment.
Despite these hardships, Hina continues to inspire many with her resilience and determination to keep working.
At a recent event, Hina experienced intense pain that made it difficult for her to stand for more than a few minutes.
She shared a video documenting the aftermath of the event.
In the clip, she was seen being rushed into an elevator after standing for over an hour.
Hina Khan humorously showcased her trainers, which she paired with a stunning bronze-coloured saree.
She emphasised the need for comfort in her footwear, stating that she won’t let her health challenges stop her from fulfilling her commitments.
“Nowadays anything cushioned in my feet gives me comfort in walking.
“Which is why we decided to wear a super comfy pair of shoes beneath my saree.
“Like I said, Hum kaam karenge, aur ladenge.”
Hina opted for cushioned shoes to help her manage the pain while still looking stylish.
She light-heartedly apologised to designer Masaba Gupta for altering the look with her trainers.
However, she reassured her that she had managed to take some great photos.
In her post, Hina described the day as particularly tough, stating:
“What a day it was… I have this crippling neuropathic pain, and it makes standing more than a few minutes at a stretch extremely difficult.”
She explained that the event was a commitment made prior to her experiencing these side effects, demonstrating her dedication to her work.

A user said: “You are such an inspiration… No crippling just fighting and sharing your experience openly so that others can learn.”
Another wrote: “You are a fighter ma’am. No pain or illness can beat you.”
One commented: “I want you to know how deeply I admire your strength and resilience in this challenging journey.”
