Television actress Chhavi Mittal on Monday shared screenshots of several 'insensitive' comments on her bikini pictures. A few days back, Chhavi had posted several photos from her Dubai vacation on her official Instagram account. However, she was brutally trolled for the pictures.
Now, the actress has shared comments of those who have been 'insensitive' towards her breast cancer journey.
Chhavi also penned a long note and said that her breasts are being discussed like a commodity in the comments section of her posts.
"Yes. This insensitivity still happens. I recently posted some vacation pics/reels from a beach and this comment got my attention. My breasts are being discussed here like a commodity. May I begin by saying that I am a breast cancer survivor and have fought very hard to keep this organ alive and well," she wrote.
She also responded to the comments which read, 'celebs are used to such comments'. Slamming them she wrote, "Well, celebs are humans too. They have emotions like normal humans. They get cancer like normal humans. They survive or succumb like normal humans. So no. NOBODY is “used to” such insensitive remarks about the biggest fight for survival that one fights which has physical as well as emotional repercussions lasting a lifetime."
Chhavi also explained the types of surgeries that take place while surviving cancer. She also revealed that she had reconstruction surgery to make the breasts look the way they were earlier.
Lastly, the actress thanked the people who stood up for her against such comments. "I’d like to reiterate that surviving cancer has been a life changing experience for me. This is a new life that I’m living and it’s not the same as the previous one. Its been 7 months and I still have emotional days where I cry about the discomfort that I am subjected to on a daily basis for no fault of mine. But I get by, coz its an honour to own a body that has survived all this and continues to be beautiful day in and day out. Here’s to ALL CANCER SURVIVORS! #breastcancersurvivor. Also, a BIG THANKS to the people who stood up for me against such comments. I can’t tell u how much I appreciate it. Love and peace," she concluded.
