‘It is definitely a physical struggle, the body goes through a lot’: Chhavi Mittal says ahead of surgery for breast cancer

After her breast cancer diagnosis, Chhavi Mittal has been updating her well-wishers on social media about tests and treatment, and also her state of mind. The actress shared that it was after a gym injury for which they had to visit a doctor that they found a lump in one of her breasts. Her posts on Instagram have since been largely positive and informative.

Ahead of her surgery, the 41-year-old uploaded a video on YouTube, in which she was seen having fun with her family at their farm. “There are some things in life that are beyond our control. But, I think that even when we don’t have a choice, we always have two choices: one is to face it happily, and the other is to sulk. I have chosen to face it [breast cancer] happily and as positively as I can,” she said.
