In the clip, the actress revealed how she discovered her disease. Mahima mentioned that she had just gone for an annual check-up. The person who did her regular tests advised her to get this checked. Later she found out that there were very tiny cancer cells that needed to be removed. “They said you have to get a chemotherapy (done), and I started crying. And my sister was like ‘it’s treatable.’ She was like ‘why are you behaving like a 17th century woman?’ But then you are just so terrified of the word cancer, which is why I didn’t share it with my parents at first, because they are so vulnerable, especially my mom,” Mahima further said.
The video ended with Anupam Kher’s appearance and he showered heaps of praise on Mahima.
Meanwhile, Mahima has been away from Bollywood for five years. She was last seen in the 2016 film Dark Chocolate, which was based on the real-life murder of Sheena Bora, daughter of media barons Indrani Mukherjea and Peter Mukherjea.
