In a heartfelt statement, Karan Mehra has expressed his support and well-wishes for his former co-star Hina Khan, who recently announced her battle with stage three breast cancer. The two actors, who played a beloved married couple—Naitik and Akshara—in Rajan Shahi’s highly successful TV series Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, have shared a professional bond that fans cherished for years.
In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times, Karan Mehra conveyed his thoughts on Hina Khan’s health. “I would like to wish her a speedy recovery, which is already visible as she is battling it bravely. So, God bless her,” Karan stated. His comments reflect a deep sense of respect and admiration for Hina’s courage and strength in facing this challenging period in her life.
Karan’s reaction comes as part of a broader wave of support from Hina’s colleagues and fans. Earlier, Shivangi Joshi, another notable co-star from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, expressed her admiration for Hina’s resilience. Shivangi, who played the role of Naitik and Akshara’s daughter in the show, referred to Hina as a “fighter” and reassured fans about her current state. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Shivangi shared, “I’m still in touch with her. We spoke yesterday. She is okay. She is very strong. She is a fighter and she will be fine soon. We are all praying for her. I will meet her soon. She will get well super soon.”
Hina Khan first publicly shared her cancer diagnosis in June of this year. The actress took to social media to inform her fans and well-wishers about her condition. She disclosed that she had been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer and used the opportunity to reassure her followers of her resilience and positive outlook. “Hello Everyone, To address the recent rumour, I want to share some important news with all the Hinaholics and everyone who loves and cares for me. I have been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. Despite this challenging diagnosis, I wish to reassure everyone that I am doing well. I am strong, determined and fully committed to overcoming this disease. My treatment has already begun and I am ready to do everything necessary to emerge from this even stronger,” Hina wrote.
