A few days ago, actor Nafisa Ali announced on social media that she has been diagnosed with stage-three peritoneal and ovarian cancer. After this revelation, Ali shared a heart-touching video with her grandchildren.


In the video, the Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya actor is seen asking her grandchildren to cut her hair, so that she keeps them unaware of the cancer treatment she is undergoing. The emotional video also shows how a concerned Ali asks the kids to remain careful of their fingers while they cut her hair.


She captioned the video: "Asked my grandchildren to cut my hair as then they will not realise that I am going through Chemo .We had fun ! #beinghuman #peritonealcancer #chemotherapy#family#love [sic]."


Nafisa Ali had shared a picture of hers with good friend and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, who paid her a visit post the cancer diagnosis. "Just met my precious friend who wished me luck and to get well from my just diagnosed stage 3 cancer," Ali, 61, captioned the photograph.
