A fresh controversy has erupted in the entertainment industry as actress and cancer survivor Rozlyn Khan has accused Hina Khan of exaggerating her cancer diagnosis. Rozlyn, who battled stage 4 cancer, alleged that Hina misrepresented her condition as stage 3 breast cancer, when in reality, medical reports indicate it was stage 2.
Rozlyn Khan Challenges Hina Khan’s Claims
Rozlyn Khan’s allegations began when she questioned Hina’s ability to perform physically demanding activities, such as scuba diving, while supposedly undergoing stage 3 cancer treatment. She claimed that such activities were inconsistent with the condition and called on Hina to be transparent about her diagnosis and treatment.
Taking the matter a step further, Rozlyn obtained and shared Hina Khan’s PET scan reports, asserting that they proved Hina had stage 2 cancer, not stage 3. She also called upon Dr. Mandar Nadkarni, who reportedly treated both of them, to clarify the situation.
Social Media Reactions and Ongoing Debate
Rozlyn’s social media post included details from Hina’s medical report, highlighting that:
- The tumor was classified as T2, measuring approximately 2.8 × 2.4 cm.
- N1 status indicated 1-3 affected lymph nodes, with Hina’s report showing involvement of two nodes.
- M0 classification confirmed no metastasis, meaning the cancer had not spread.
She accused Hina of using misinformation for publicity, stating, “For us, cancer is cancer, but where is the bravery if the severity was exaggerated?” Rozlyn also urged Hina to issue a public apology.
Backlash and Support for Both Sides
The controversy has divided social media. While some users supported Rozlyn’s stance on spreading accurate health information, others criticized her for publicly questioning another cancer survivor’s journey. Hina’s fans defended her, stating that her recovery speed and activity level did not diminish her battle against the disease.
Actress Ankita Lokhande had earlier stood by Hina, condemning Rozlyn’s statements and calling them “cheap.” In response, Rozlyn filed a defamation case against Ankita, challenging her to verify Hina’s medical records.
The Bigger Picture
This controversy raises important questions about health misinformation, the challenges of public figures sharing personal medical struggles, and the impact of such claims on cancer awareness. Whether Hina Khan will respond to these allegations remains to be seen, but the debate continues to stir reactions across social media.
