Television actress Hina Khan, who is battling stage 3 breast cancer, was recently featured in Google’s list of the top 10 most searched actors in the world in 2024. However, she expressed disappointment because the attention was on her cancer diagnosis rather than her professional achievements. Sharing a screenshot of the news on her Instagram story, Hina said that this acknowledgement did not bring her joy as the reason.
She wrote, “I see a lot of people putting up stories and congratulating me on this new development. But honestly, for me, it’s neither an achievement nor something to be proud of. I wish and pray that no one should be googled because of their diagnosis or health-related hardships.”

“I have always appreciated people’s genuine regard and respect for my journey in these testing times but I would rather be googled or known or acknowledged for my work or achievements. Just like I have been before and during my diagnosis,” she added.
Apart from Hina, top searched celebrities globally in Google’s 2024 trends also includes Pawan Kalyan and Nimrat Kaur.
The actress is currently undergoing treatment and often shares updates with her fans on her Instagram handle.

She wrote, “Hello Everyone, To address the recent rumour, I want to share some important news with all the Hinaholics and everyone who loves and cares for me.

Your personal experiences, anecdotes, and supportive suggestions would mean the world to me as I navigate this journey. I, along with my family and loved ones, remain focused, determined, and positive. With the grace of the Almighty, we believe I will overcome this challenge and be completely healthy. Please send your prayers, blessings. and love. Love, Hina.”
