Sharing the video, Hina Khan wrote, 'You can hear my mother's wailing voice in Kashmiri (blessing me) in the background as she prepared herself to witness something she never dared to imagine. Not all of us have the same tools at our disposal to manage heartbreaking emotions."


'To all the beautiful people out there, especially women who are fighting the same battle, I know it's hard. I know that for most of us, our hair is the crown we never take off. But what if you're facing a battle so tough that you have to lose your hairmdashyour pride, your crown? If you want to win, you've got to take some tough decisions," she added.

The caption further read, 'And I choose to win. I have decided to give myself every chance possible to win this battle. I choose to let go of my beautiful hair before it starts falling off. I didn't want to endure this mental breakdown for weeks. So, I choose to let go of my crown because I've realized my real crown is my courage, my strength, and the love I have for myself."

Hina Khan to make a wig out of her hair

Revealing that she will be weaving a wig with her original hair, Hina continued, 'Aur haan. I have decided to use my own hair to make a nice wig for this phase. Hair will grow back, eyebrows will return, and scars will fade, but the spirit must remain whole. I am recording my story and my journey to ensure that my efforts to embrace myself reach everyone out there. If my story can make even one day of this heartwarming yet excruciating experience better for someone, it's worth it. Also, this day couldn't have gone as I hoped without the presence of the people who have taken a vow to support me through thick and thin."
