Nasreen reveals Hashmi 'was very shaken'
Nasreen recalled the day she received her biopsy reports in 2018. She remembered, "Back in 2018, I was diagnosed with oral cancer after a biopsy." "When he (Hashmi) came home, I told him what the report said, and he broke down." "I was the one consoling him, telling him not to worry and that everything would be fine. He was very shaken."
Ongoing battle
'Her treatment is currently ongoing, and naturally...'
The family has been fighting this battle for years now. Hashmi revealed that Nasreen has undergone five surgeries and the cancer has relapsed multiple times. "The person who needed support was the one supporting all of us. She has undergone five surgeries so far." "There have been five relapses, and now the cancer has returned for the sixth time." "This time, it has spread everywhere. Her treatment is currently ongoing, and naturally a lot of thoughts come to your mind."
Support
'From the time we got admitted till discharge...'
Nasreen revealed that Hashmi has been by her side the entire time. She recalled, "No matter how busy he was or whether he had a shoot, he somehow always managed to reach the hospital." "From the time we got admitted till discharge, he would sit there with his bag and refuse to move." Meanwhile, the couple got married in 2003 and share two kids, a girl and a boy.
