Overview
- Hashmi disclosed in a Hauterrfly interview that Nasreen’s oral cancer has returned for a sixth time and has spread widely, with treatment underway.
- In a follow-up with Hindustan Times, he said the cancer has reached her lungs and bones and areas near the heart and liver, and that she is on immunotherapy and chemotherapy with surgery no longer an option.
- Nasreen said Hashmi stayed by her side through hospital stays and surgeries, describing him as a constant presence from admission to discharge.
- The couple traced her fight back to a 2018 diagnosis and five prior surgeries, with relapses that have come roughly every 12 to 18 months.
- Head-and-neck surgeon Hitesh Singhavi said a sixth recurrence usually signals more aggressive disease and treatment resistance, calling for fresh evaluation and tailored care.
