Chhavi Mittal, an actress and breast cancer survivor, recently shared her ongoing health struggles in an Instagram post, revealing that her Lupus (SLE) rash has reappeared. The actress posted a series of photos on social media, providing a closer look at the lupus spots on her arms.
In her candid caption, Mittal expressed her frustration over her inability to control her health issues despite her best efforts. “Anyone who’s going through any struggle would relate that not having things in your control is really dampening. My lupus (SLE) rash has been coming back and even though I’m not one to be daunted by it, it does feel frustrating that I cannot put my finger on what causes these flare-ups, which invariably leave a white, de-pigmented mark,” she wrote.
Mittal further elaborated on the physical toll of her condition, stating, “I have 100 of these on my body now (face, neck, back, arms, chest, stomach) with no clue as to what I’m doing wrong or what I should do to correct it. Doctors are failing at advising. Alternate medicine has failed. I’m back to steroids but as of now.. no improvement. There are flare ups, and then it’s peaceful, until there are new flare ups again.”
Despite these challenges, Mittal emphasized the importance of counting blessings amid difficulties.
“The reason why I’m sharing this is so you remember, even though in life, there are always things that seem to go wrong.. we still need to continue counting our blessings. My toe injury is not a fracture, my back ache is under control, professionally there are too many exciting things happening, my kids are amazing, and I’m surrounded by people who love me.”
In a pointed conclusion, she addressed critics of her gym wear choices, saying, “All those who troll me for my choice of gym wear.. that’s exactly what it is. MY CHOICE.”
Mittal, who was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in 2022, announced her full recovery earlier this year and has been focusing on her fitness goals. She is married to director Mohit Hussein, with whom she shares two children, son Arham and daughter Areeza.
On the professional front, Chhavi Mittal has appeared in numerous TV shows, including “Tumhari Disha,” “Ek Chutki Aasma,” “Krishnadasi,” and “Adaalat,” among others.
