Popular television actress and YouTuber Chhavi Mittal, known among fans for playing Tulsi in the serial Krishnadasi, has undergone successful surgery for breast cancer. Taking to social media, she posted a photo from the hospital on Tuesday morning, while also informing her social media followers that she is now "cancer-free". A smiling Chhavi, seen posing for a selfie from the hospital bed, wrote, "When the anaesthesiologist asked me to close my eyes and think of something nice, I visualised my beautiful breasts perfectly healthy. And then I went under. The next thing I know, I woke up cancer free. The surgery lasted for six hours, there were multiple procedures done, and it’s a long road to recovery, but the great thing is.. it’s only going to get better now. The worst is over."
Chhavi then requested fans to pray for her speedy recovery, saying, "Your prayers were in my head all through and I need them even more now, coz I’m in a lot of pain. The pain, that reminds me of the huge battle I just won with a smile on my face. I’m going to spare you the gory details, but thank you guys for sticking with me with through this. Your messages brought tears to my eyes. Don’t stop the prayers yet… And lastly but most importantly. I couldn’t have done this without my partner in crazy, the equally strong, the equally insane, resilient, brave, patient, caring, loving @mohithussein Don’t want to see tears in your eyes ever again! #cancerfree."
