Chhavi Mittal has once again touched hearts by opening up about her breast cancer journey. It’s been three years since she faced one of the toughest battles of her life. In April 2022, the actress was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a terrifying moment, but Chhavi chose to fight. She underwent surgery on April 25, 2022, to remove the cancer from her right breast. Since then, she has inspired thousands by speaking about her experience with honesty and strength.
On completing three years since her surgery, Chhavi took a moment to look back. She shared a heartfelt video on Instagram, offering a glimpse into those difficult times. The clip showed snippets of her journey, from hospital beds to moments of quiet resilience.
Chhavi revealed that she wasn’t prepared for the loneliness that came with this battle. While there were people around her, she felt truly alone when it mattered most. She remembered lying on the operation table, with doctors explaining the procedures to her. She was to undergo a “lumpectomy and a mini LD flap reconstruction.” At that moment, the realisation of facing this storm alone struck her.
In those private moments, she faced emotions that no one could truly understand. Friends she once thought would stay close seemed to drift away, and the journey turned out to be isolating.
Despite the pain, Chhavi found her strength within. In her words, “I did my physiotherapy alone. I massaged my stitches myself. I shed countless tears alone in my private moments. I was so lost, and yet I lost the support of every person I thought was in my corner. But today, I’m so strong that sometimes I amaze myself. As they say, once you connect with yourself. There’s no one else you need. And I have connected with my soul.”
The video not only captured her struggles but also her determination to move forward. She showed moments from her workouts and hospital visits, symbolising her fight to regain normalcy. Through it all, she reminded everyone of the quiet battles that go unseen.
In the caption accompanying her post, Chhavi summed up what these years have meant for her. She wrote, “3 years. And it feels like a lifetime. A lifetime of lessons, realisations, battles, ups n downs… I’m so, so proud of myself. It wasn’t easy. It is not easy. But as long as I have me and my sanity, I got this. Happy 3rd birthday to me! #cancerwarrior #breastcancerwarrior.” Her words reflected gratitude, resilience, and pride in her journey.
On the work front, Chhavi Mittal is remembered for her roles in several television shows. From Tumhari Disha to Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyann, Ek Chutki Aasman, and Krishnadasi, she has left her mark as a talented actress. But it’s her real-life courage that’s earned her a special place in people’s hearts.
