Bollywood actress Mahima Chaudhry recently spoke about her breast cancer journey at the Young Women Breast Cancer Conference 2025. In an exclusive conversation with ANI, she revealed that her cancer diagnosis was unexpected, as she had no symptoms and was merely going for a routine yearly check-up. Mahima was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, but her case is a stark reminder that cancer can be detected early through regular screenings, even when there are no apparent symptoms. The actor emphasized the importance of routine check-ups, saying, 'Cancer is something that you can't recognize on your own early. It can only be detected early through tests.' Since her diagnosis, Mahima has noticed a significant improvement in cancer treatment in India, crediting the pharmaceutical industry for providing better support and affordable generic medicines. She also attributed the increased awareness about cancer to the stories of people who have fought bravely against the disease. Mahima's recent films include 'The Signature' and 'Durlabh Prasad Ki Doosri Shaadi,' which is set to release later this month. Her candid conversation about breast cancer serves as a reminder for women to prioritize their health and schedule regular check-ups to detect any potential health issues early.
