Sharing the post, she wrote, “Ramadan Mubarak. Iftaar special phirni by yours truly.. It was yummmmm. Sabko pasand aayi.” The simple note reflected her joy in cooking for her loved ones during the holy month.
As mentioned in her caption, Hina lovingly prepared phirni at home. The creamy dessert, topped generously with sliced dry fruits, looked rich and inviting. In one of the photos, she was seen carefully arranging bowls of freshly made phirni on a tray. Another image showed the dessert up close, garnished neatly with nuts. A short clip captured her serving the sweet dish into bowls, ready for the family to enjoy.
Dressed in a dark purple traditional outfit with intricate golden embroidery, Hina looked elegant yet comfortable. She paired the outfit with statement earrings and a matching dupatta. The festive vibe was clear, but what stood out more was the warmth of the moment.
Apart from the dessert, Hina also shared a glimpse of her well-balanced iftaar spread. The table included freshly cut fruits and vegetables, chana chaat, chia pudding, soaked walnuts and almonds, dried figs, Ajwa dates, a protein shake, Zam Zam water and her supplements.

On her Instagram Stories, she wrote, “It is a very common practice to overeat during iftar. I know after hours of fasting, the body often craves quick energy, leading to high consumption of particularly heavy, fried, and sugary khaana, which eventually leads to weight gain, digestive issues, fatigue.” She urged everyone to maintain a healthy and balanced diet instead of indulging excessively.
In 2024, Hina revealed that she is battling Stage 3 breast cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. Despite the challenges, she has continued to remain active and positive. Speaking to ANI, she had said, “This taboo that a cancer patient has to sit at home and do nothing, and that their life is over, is not true. A few days are difficult, but after that, you can get back to work. You should have that will, that strength and the love of your family.”
She added, “I will always keep doing this (acting), provided my body supports me. Your mental strength is the most important thing. Therefore, you must be mentally strong and remain happy. If you think this (cancer) is nothing, it becomes nothing.” Through her Ramadan posts, Hina once again showed resilience, faith and gratitude, inspiring many along the way.
