On July 29, 2021 Hamsa was diagnosed with breast cancer. “I lost my mother to breast cancer. She was just 42 years old when she passed away,” she told Times of India. She found a lump in her breast and “rushed to get a mammogram done and it was followed by a biopsy. The results confirmed my worst fears. It has been extremely challenging to be diagnosed with such a life-threatening disease. I’ve had to walk out of all my projects and change my entire routine. It has left me shaken, but I am strong,” she said. She feels lucky that she found out early and underwent several cycles of chemo. “As I see myself change physically and mentally, I try to instill in me a sense of acceptance. I’m staying mentally strong and surrounding myself with positivity. No matter what life throws at me, no matter how unfair it may seem, I refuse to play the victim. I refuse to quit. My friends and family have stood by me and I’m going to stay positive, take each day head on. I know I will win.”
2. Healthy Lifestyle
According to Hamsa, even prior to her diagnosis she maintained a healthy lifestyle free of substances. “I don’t smoke or drink,” she told Times of India.
3. Yoga
“I workout almost every day,” she added to the publication. “I live a very active life overall. According to conventional wisdom, I’m living a very holistic life and yet, this happened to me.” One of her go-to workouts is yoga. “Just breathe in the future & exhale the past,” she captioned a post on International Yoga Day.
4. Meditation
Hamsa also gets her zen on. “I meditate,” she told Times of India. “To pause, to make space, to collect your thoughts, to remember, to face the next moment and to choose. Just breathe. This International Yoga Day, let's just remember to breathe,” she added in another post. “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic.
