Hina Khan, who recently had her first chemotherapy session, also shared a video of herself cutting her hair. She explained, “I have decided to give myself every chance possible to win this battle. I choose to let go of my beautiful hair before it starts falling off. I didn’t want to endure this mental breakdown for weeks. So, I choose to let go of my crown because I’ve realized my real crown is my courage, my strength, and the love I have for myself. Aur haan… I have decided to use my own hair to make a nice wig for this phase.”
