Actor Hina Khan is making a return to the small screen after a tough year of battling breast cancer – but she admits that people from the industry are hesitant to work with her again.
The 37-year-old actor, who revealed her cancer diagnosis last year, says due to her illness she walked away from several projects and turned down multiple offers. Now back on screen with ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga’, Hina is rearing to get back to work but she feels people are not ready for that.
“This is my first project after the whole thing (breast cancer diagnosis) 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.”

"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,” Khan said in an interview.
Khan has been battling stage three breast cancer. She shared her diagnosis in June of 2024 and has been updating her fans regarding her health via social media.
Khan, known for shows such as “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai”, “Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2”, “Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 8” and “Bigg Boss 11”, said she feels glad to have made a comeback to work with her ongoing reality show, which is currently on air on Colors Channel.
The show stars celebrity couples competing against each other as they open their hearts and homes to take on fun challenges.
“I’m ready to take up anything, be it a digital show, or anything, I would not take up long term commitment. If anything is offered (in films), if they find me worthy enough, then why not,” Khan said.
The actor said she is keen to play a spy agent.
