'Death Of Humanity': Chhavi Mittal Hits Back After Netizen Trolls Her For Hair Loss Amid Cancer Treatment

Television actress Chhavi Mittal, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, slammed a netizen on her social media handle after they trolled for losing her hair. The actress shared that the hair loss was a side effect of her cancer treatment and termed the incident as "death of humanity".

The incident happened a few days ago when Chhavi shared a video of herself working out in the gym. In the screenshot that she shared, the troll can be seen replying to her video, "Sir ke baal ud gaye aapke, treatment karwao (sic)."

Not one to take it from the trolls, Chhavi decided to give him a befitting reply. Sharing another picture of herself from the gym, she 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 (sic)."

She then explained, "For the uninitiated, 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 (sic)."

"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? And insensitive comments like these only make things worse (sic)," she wrote.

Taking down the troll, Chhavi wrote, "I’m sharing this post mainly to serve this purpose: 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 (sic)."

"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 (sic)," she added.

"Meanwhile, can we also stop and look at the fabulous body I’ve sculpted with my constant hard work n never dying spirit! Yeah.. 3 cheers to that! (sic)," Chhavi quipped.

In 2022, Chhavi had announced that she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, and she later underwent surgery. In an earlier interview, the actress had revealed how her own friends turned against her after she was diagnosed with cancer.

"My battle with cancer was incredibly painful not because of the physical pain or limitations, but due to how my own people mistreated me, showed insensitivity, forgot about me, and even judged me for standing up for myself. I believe I am stronger today because I no longer care about others' opinions of me, and that has been the most freeing realisation," she had said.
