Mahima Chaudhry’s struggle with breast cancer: My daughter didn’t go to school for 2 months so that I stay safe

This morning, we awoke to Anupam Kher’s video of Mahima telling him about her disease and the fact that not even her parents were aware of it. Mahima tells ETimes that her cancer is no longer a problem. “I am cancer-free. It got all over about 3 to 4 months back.”

The actress, who is now shooting in Lucknow with Anupam Kher for the film ‘The Signature,’ informs us that she wants to be clear that she did not have any treatment for her breast cancer in the United States. “People didn’t see the video fully, they have just jumped to conclude that I went to America for my treatment. But the fact is that I was very much in Mumbai.”

While Mahima was recovering, Aryana, Mahima’s daughter, did not attend school. “She categorically told me that she’ll stay at home because she didn’t want to risk the COVID virus from coming home as I was in my recovery stage. So, she didn’t go to school when it reopened after the COVID phase. She took her classes online, they gave her that provision.”

In terms of the film ‘The Signature,’ she states that Anupam Kher was certain that he wouldn’t change his mind about casting her and would instead work around her timetable. “He is a gem. He is so helpful. It is also ironic that now I have started getting movies.”

“Cancer is very much treatable. It scares the sh** out of people but a lot of advances have been made in this field,” Mahima concluded.
