Hina's fans flooded the comment section with messages of support. One wrote, "Get well soon. Hina, I can feel the pain of your family. My father was diagnosed with 3rd stage blood cancer last December, and after that, our lives were shattered. This time is very difficult for you and your family, but the only thing that can help you right now is to take care of yourself. My father is still taking chemotherapy, and he will be fine, and you will be fine for sure. All the blessings are with you."

Another commented, "More power and strength to you both." A third comment read, "You are a strong woman and will overcome this inshallah."

Last week, Hina chopped off her hair to prepare for her first chemotherapy session. Sharing a video on Instagram, Hina wrote, "I have decided to give myself every chance possible to win this battle. I choose to let go of my beautiful hair before it starts falling off. I didn’t want to endure this mental breakdown for weeks. So, I choose to let go of my crown because I’ve realised my real crown is my COURAGE, my STRENGTH, and the love I have for myself."
