Actor Sharib Hashmi recently opened up about the painful health battle his wife Nasreen Hashmi has been facing for years. In a conversation with Hauterrfly, the actor revealed that Nasreen’s oral cancer has relapsed for the sixth time. Sharing how the family has dealt with repeated treatments, surgeries and emotional struggles since her diagnosis in 2018, Sharib admitted that the news had completely shattered them in the beginning.
Speaking about her condition, Sharib said, “She has undergone the surgery 5 times now. She has relapsed 5 times. It has come back for the 6th time. This time it has spread everywhere. This shall pass too, the treatment is going on. Jis tareeke se ye deal kar rahi thi usse hum sab ko himmat fir milne lagi. Uska jo cancer hain kaafi aggressive nature ka hain isliye itni baar relapse hota hain lekin uske bawajoot bhi ye kaafi himmat ke saath ussey deal karti hain. Fight karti hain (The way she deals with it gives us the courage. The cancer is very aggressive hence it has relapsed so much. But still she has been fighting so well).” He also shared that Nasreen’s courage during every phase of the illness gave strength to the entire family.
Nasreen, meanwhile, spoke about how Sharib stood by her throughout every surgery, hospital stay, and recovery period despite his busy work schedule. Recalling his constant support, she said, “He didn’t leave my side. Even if there was a shoot and he was busy, he still manages and reaches the hospital. From the time we are in hospital, till discharge he would take his bag and sit there. He would not move. Constantly, him being there used to feel very good to me. That he is there for me. That was comforting. In many ways he has been there.”
Sharib and Nasreen got married on December 27, 2003, after knowing each other since their teenage years. The couple has been together for over three decades and are parents to a son and daughter. On the work front, Sharib became a household name after playing JK Talpade in The Family Man.
