Krishnadasi fame Chhavi Mittal has had a challenging time dealing with breast cancer. The actress, who is in recovery mode post her radiotherapy sessions, is doing her best to spread awareness about the disease.
In a recent video, Chhavi talked about her first reaction to learning about her biopsy result through her doctor. She received several encouraging messages on the video. However there was a user who slammed her for trying to gain sympathy and PR through the exercise.
Chhavi noticed the comment and reacted to it with both sternness and kindness.
Sharing a screenshot of the comment, she wrote, "This comment was there on my post yesterday where I talked about how I braced the cancer news… sitting amongst lots of other beautiful comments. Supriya, I didn’t choose cancer, it chose me. The emotional trauma that a cancer survivor goes through cannot be expressed in words or gestures. Even the ones closest to them cannot fathom it. And you can’t even imagine the courage it takes me to speak about it on a public forum. Although the courage you have shown to troll a cancer fighter is also pretty commendable."
She added, "And just like you cannot imagine my thoughts behind doing this… even I can’t imagine the amount of trauma you must have gone through in your life to feel feelings of this extent of negativity. Just like I share everything else on social media, I will share my prayer for you here too. May you get peace within."
It was in April that Chhavi had first revealed that she has breast cancer. She kept her followers abreast of her surgery, radiotherapy sessions, diet and workout schedule. The fact that she was extremely open about her tough times made several sailing in the same boat relate with her and even applaud her for being courageous.
