Chhavi Mittal has been away from television screens for a long time now. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2022 and, as a result, had to undergo surgery. She has been honest about her rehabilitation experiences on social media. Now, she has taken to social media and written a lengthy post on her post-surgery days and how she has gradually been taking steps towards leading a healthy life.
Chhavi Mittal recently uploaded a video of her progress after undergoing breast cancer surgery. In the reel, she discussed her path back to a normal life and returning to the gym. The video begins with Chhavi doing a light workout, and the text embedded reads, “This was Day 22 of me defeating Cancer, This was all I could do in the gym. My body weight hit an all time low of 49 kg.”
However, the video transitions to the present day when she is capable of intense training. Speaking about this journey, Chhavi mentioned, “But I endured everything with a smile. THIS! is me today. 22 months post the surgery. I’m 58 kg now And I’m CHHAVI 5.0. I couldn’t have reached here without a lot of…Dedication Will power Discipline some battles And the worst of these battles are the ones that are physical. Coz you’ll find a shoulder to cry on, on a bad day. But Nobody can endure the pain that you go through. That’s a lone battle. And I’m conquering it one day at a time.”
In the caption along with the post, Chhavi talked about her scars and stated that they strengthen her everyday. Her followers, who have witnessed her journey so far, showered praise and showed their support in the comments below. One user said, “ More power to you girl!” while another expressed, “You are a champion.”
Meanwhile, the actress has suffered from several side effects since her surgery. Chhavi Mittal revealed months ago that she had been diagnosed with costochondritis, a condition marked by inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone. Apart from that, the actress also had a low bone mineral density (BMD) issue that caused unexpected fractures, putting her at high risk for spinal fractures.
On the work front, Chhavi and her husband Mohit Hussein created Shitty Ideas Trending (SIT), a digital production firm, in 2015. Chhavi has previously appeared in several shows, including 3 Bahuraniyan, Tumhari Disha, Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyann, Naaginn, Ek Chutki Aasman, Viraasat, and Krishnadasi.
