Chhavi Mittal recently took to her Instagram handle and lashed out at a troll who mocked her for losing hair after her cancer treatment. Chhavi, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, was left shocked earlier this week when a user commented on one of her posts, “Sir ke baal ud gaye aapke, treatment karwao (sic).”
Giving a befitting reply to the troll, Chhavi Mittal penned down a long note on her Instagram handle and wrote, “Today I experienced the death of humanity yet again. I was trolled for hair loss due to my cancer treatment. Let’s take a minute here to mourn this loss once again.”
The actress explained cancer treatment in depth and revealed how it also leads to several side effects, including hair loss. “I fought a battle with Breast Cancer in 2022 and will complete 3 years of the ongoing hormone therapy this April. It’s a 10 years long treatment. This has a lot of side effects like, hot flashes, severe cramping, skin dryness and dehydration, mood swings, weight fluctuations and among all these, hair loss. I cannot even begin to express what hair means to a woman. First I fought to retain my breast, coz that’s part of my womanhood, and now my hair, coz that’s part of it too right?”
Chhavi further called the troll’s comment “insensitive” and added, “This person who “follows me” is doing so just to troll me, not because he admires me. This person is one of many who do that to public accounts on social media. This person, like many others, must be extremely insecure to troll a cancer warrior for hair loss! This person, and all such, deserve kindness and a prayer. So dear troll, may you have a head full of hair and a cancer free life.. and also a life devoid of trolls like yourself who objectify you by saying mean things.”
She ended her post by urging everyone to talk about her fitness and wrote, “cheers to that”.
