Earlier on Thursday, Mahima Chaudhary opened up about her cancer journey, where veteran actor Anupam Kher called her a ‘hero’. On Thursday, Anupam Kher shared an empowering video featuring Mahima Chaudhry where the latter spoke about her struggles and triumphs as a cancer patient.
Kher also wrote an emotional caption along with the video and wrote – “She calls me an eternal optimist but dearest Mahima! “You are my HERO!” Friends! Send her your love, warmth, wishes, prayers and blessings. She is BACK on sets where she belongs. She is ready to fly. All those producers/directors out there! Here is your opportunity to tap on her brilliance!”.
In her interview with ETimes, Mahima spilled beans about her latest project which features both Anupam Kher and Annu Kapoor. The film is directed by Gajendra Ahire, a Marathi filmmaker. Not letting her diagnosis bog her down, Mahima also revealed that she will be flying to Mumbai later this week to celebrate her daughter Ariana’s birthday.
It should be noted that Anupam Kher’s video announcing Mahima Chaudhary’s cancer diagnosis has caught the entire Indian industry and its followers, in a state of shock. “I haven’t shared my diagnosis with my parents. They will hear about it on the news now. I want to get back and be with them,” the Pardes actor said to ETimes.
