Chhavi Mittal is one of the most popular faces in the telly world. She rose to fame with her hit stint in quite a few daily soaps, including Tumhari Disha, 3 Bahuraniya, Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyann among others. However, life took a toll on the actress, after she got diagnosed with breast cancer a few years back. Though the diva fought it bravely and emerged victorious, she is even now, reeling with the after-effects of the deadly disease. In a recent interaction, the actress recalled one of the most heartbreaking moments during her cancer journey.
In an interaction with News18 Showsha, Chhavi Mittal talked about one of the most heartbreaking episodes during her cancer journey, back in April 2022. The actress revealed that she was the first one who learnt about the cancer diagnosis, and she later informed the same to her husband, Mohit Hussein. However, while the adults got enough strength to digest such a terrible news, things were quite complicated for their 9-year-old daughter, Areeza. Recalling how the little one immediately thought that her mother was going to die, Chhavi said:
“I got to know about it first because I was in touch with the doctor. So he called me first. I told him (Mohit Hussein) that the report has come and it doesn’t look good. He just looked at me and said, okay, we’ll get through it. I spoke to Areeza. I sat down with her and told her, your mom is sick and she needs to go to the hospital for a few days. She is going to get better and come back home. She suddenly started crying and said, mumma, do you have that? I knew she was talking about cancer. I said, yes. I lost my nani to cancer. She [Areeza] knows it. She thought I was going to die. The only thing she knows about cancer is that it kills. She said, are you not going to be able to swallow food? Are you going to die?”

Speaking along the same lines, the actress then revealed how she made her daughter understand that she wouldn’t die, because she would get a minor operation done to come out of it. She further mentioned how her daughter understood the matter and also demanded to join her in the hospital and do her bit. In her words:
“I said, no, it is not the same. Cancer can be different for different people. It is very different for me. For me, it is just a little thing, they will do a surgery and take it out. She was okay. She wanted to come to the hospital, meet me and do her bit. Kids are not allowed but she was allowed a couple of times in the hospital. She tried to take care of me, hold my hand and sit.”
Despite going through one of the most tough times, Chhavi has been quite vocal about her breast cancer journey, starting from diagnosis to treatment and recovery. Some time back, she had taken to her IG handle and dropped a picture of herself, clad in a backless attire. However, what caught everyone’s attention was that the actress boldly flaunted her surgery scars. Addressing the same in her caption, Chhavi mentioned how people flinch at the sight of these marks, whereas they don’t really know how much painful it was for her to get these marks in the first place.
