Mahima Chaudhry's Million-Dollar Advice To Women, Youth
Recently, the actress stepped onto the stage at the Young Women Breast Cancer Conference 2025, she did more than share a personal story — she issued a wake-up call. She said, "There were no symptoms. I didn’t go in for a breast cancer screening. I just went in for a yearly check-up. I had no clue I had breast cancer. Cancer is something that you can’t recognise on your own early. It can only be detected early through tests. So if you keep going in for a yearly check-up, you will be able to detect it early and seek early treatment."
Further, she added, "Since my diagnosis three to four years ago, there has been a huge difference in cancer treatment in India. Many generic medicines are much cheaper now, you get better support from pharmaceutical companies, and there’s much more awareness of cancer… I got a lot of motivation by hearing the stories of other people fighting strongly against cancer."
