Actress Hina Khan has been battling breast cancer for more than a year now. While she has been undergoing treatment, Hina returned to work within a few months of her diagnosis. On June 4, the actress also got married to her long-time beau, Rocky Jaiswal, in an intimate ceremony. Both Hina and Rocky will now be seen on Colors TV’s upcoming reality show Pati, Patni, Aur Panga. The shooting for the show began recently, and at its premiere, Hina Khan spoke about how her husband stood by her side through the tough times.
At the show’s grand premiere, Hina spoke about her relationship with Rocky and said, “I met Rocky more than a decade ago, and honestly, I never thought this is where life would take us. We met on the set of my first show, and when he came in, I didn’t like him. But time has a way of changing things. Slowly, we started talking, and before we knew it, we were friends, sharing stories, laughing, understanding each other without even realizing what was happening. Then one day, there was this hug…and it just felt different. That was the moment we knew. There were no proposals, no big words, just that feeling that this is it.”
Sharing how Rocky supported her during her battle with cancer, Hina Khan added, “What came after hasn’t been easy. Life tested us in ways I never imagined. And through all of it, Rocky never left my side. He put everything, his work, his health, his peace, behind just to make sure I was okay. That’s not something you see every day. Most people walk away when things get hard, but he didn’t.”
Rocky also said, “If I could take her pain and make it mine, I would have done it in a second. But that’s not possible, so I did the only thing I could: be there for her. For me, that was never a big thing. I love her, and being there for her was the easiest decision of my life. The truth is, no matter how close you are, you can never really know the extent of what it takes to fight what Hina was fighting. Even as a partner, you have limitations. You sit beside them, you hold their hand, but the battle was hers. Every day brings a new challenge, and every day they fight it with a courage that humbles you. But she refused to back down. I’m grateful that I get to wake up wanting to do better for her, because she deserves that and more. It’s not about me or how I feel. It’s about her — in sickness or health, in pain or love, in despair or hope. It’s only ever about her happiness and well-being.”
Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal will be seen on Pati, Patni, Aur Panga alongside Gurmeet Chaudhary-Debina Bonnerjee, Rubina Dilaik-Abhinav Shukla, and many others. The show is hosted by Munawar Faruqui and Sonali Bendre. Pati, Patni, Aur Panga will air on Colors TV from 2nd August, every Saturday-Sunday at 9:30 pm.
