Times have been difficult for the ‘Pardes’ actress as she had been battling cancer. But Mahima has continued to remain quite strong. She had said in an interview with Times Of India after her cancer treatment lasted for four months that, “I don’t want people to get rattled by it. It is curable, so I don’t want anyone to be afraid of the treatment.”
It was actually Anupam Kher who had told the world about Mahima’s battle with Cancer. Anupam wrote, “Story of @mahimachaudhry1 ‘s courage and Cancer: I called #MahimaChaudhry a month back from the US to play a very important role in my 525th film #TheSignature. Our conversation turned to her discovering that she has #BreastCancer. What followed is in this candid conversation between us. Her attitude will give hope to so many women all over the world. She wanted me to be part of her disclosing about it. She calls me an eternal optimist but dearest Mahima! “You are my HERO!” Friends! Send her your love, warmth, wishes, prayers and blessings. She is BACK on sets where she belongs. She is ready to fly. All those producers/directors out there! Here is your opportunity to tap on her brilliance! Jai ho to her!! #Cancer #Courage #Hope #Prayers.”
