Dibyendu Bhattacharya on Hina Khan's battle with breast cancer: 'Her body and health were deteriorating during Griha Laxmi shoot but we had no idea'

Actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya recently opened up about his experience working alongside actress Hina Khan and her recent journey of battling breast cancer.
In an interview, Dibyendu reflected on their time together on the sets of 'Griha Laxmi' and praised Hina's unwavering dedication. Sharing his thoughts, Dibyendu revealed that during the shoot in April, there were no visible signs of Hina's health struggles. He mentioned that they had no idea her body was deteriorating internally day by day. “Internally, her body and health were deteriorating, but we had no idea. This is because we shot in April, and by that time, it probably hadn’t been diagnosed. I think she announced it in the month of June when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. But there was not even the slightest hint that something was going on inside her or that her health was deteriorating. She was so energetic, such an enterprising actress. She was a fantastic co-actor as well. She worked with the same intensity as her co-actors.” he shared in a conversation with Bollywood Bubble.

Dibyendu also highlighted Hina’s incredible resilience and strength while expressing his deep admiration for her spirit. “People like her have such strong personalities. I can’t even imagine the level at which she worked on this show despite everything,” he stated. The Criminal Justice actor wished Hina good health and all the luck in her life, describing her as a fantastic co-actor and a wonderful woman.

In June 2024, Hina Khan publicly disclosed her diagnosis of stage 3 breast cancer through an Instagram post. “Hello everyone, I want to address the recent rumours and share some important news with all the Hinaholics and everyone who loves and cares for me. I have been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. I am strong, determined, and fully committed to overcoming this disease. My treatment has already begun, and I am ready to do everything necessary to emerge from this even stronger. I kindly ask for your respect and privacy during this time,” the actress wrote.
