"The process is difficult, so it’s good to have supportive people around you, and also, your work helps you get your mind off what’s going on with your body," she further added.

"Her attitude will give hope to so many women all over the world. She wanted me to be part of her disclosure about it. 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 and directors out there! Here is your opportunity to tap into her brilliance! Jai ho to her," Kher concluded.
