Actress Hina Khan shared a heartfelt note as she geared up for Sehri, saying that dedication towards work and faith can beautifully go hand in hand.

One of the highest-paid television actresses in India, she is widely recognised for playing Akshara Maheshwari Singhania in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. She emerged as the runner-up in the eighth and the eleventh seasons of Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi and Bigg Boss 11. She then played the antagonist in Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 from 2018 to 2019.

Hina Khan balances work and faith

With just a couple of hours left for Sehri, the actress took to Instagram stories to reflect on wrapping up a long and hectic work day, while still making time for personal commitments at home.

She revealed that despite her packed schedule, she managed to remove her acrylic nails herself, calling it a small but meaningful win.

Sharing a picture of her nails, she captioned it: "Sehri in 2 hours. And the hard work finally paid off. Who said work and faith can't go hand in hand. Had a long work day but I still managed to remove acrylics at home. Woh kehte haina, Jahan chaah hal, wahan raah bal...Alhamdullilah Ramadan Mubarak."

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, communal prayer, reflection, and community.

Hina was part of the reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga with her husband, Rocky Jaiswal. However, she shared that she still feels the industry is hesitant to work with her because of her breast cancer diagnosis.

She said, "This is my first project after the whole thing happened. I want to work. No one has directly said to me that, 'You've still not recovered completely', but I can sense that maybe people are hesitant (to work with me) for all the right reasons."

She further adds, "It's okay. I'll have to break that norm. Maybe the show will do it, I understand it. Had I been in their place, I would've thought about it a thousand times. I'm open to auditions, where did I stop? No one has called me for the last one year, for all the reasons. I'm open to everything, please call me."

In 2024, she revealed that she is suffering from Stage-3 breast cancer and confirmed that she is undergoing chemotherapy for treatment.
