Television star Hina Khan has shared glimpses of her rejuvenating time in Kashmir, describing the experience as “therapy” and “healing” in her latest Instagram post. The actress, who has been battling cancer, appears to be finding solace in the simple yet profound experiences that the valley has to offer.
In her heartfelt Instagram post, Hina shares a carousel of images capturing various moments from her Kashmir sojourn. The images show her enjoying a fishing excursion in Dal Lake, practicing pranayama (yogic breathing exercises) amid the serene waters, taking leisurely walks, and savoring coffee by the Jhelum River.
Hina’s post highlights her immersion in local Kashmiri culture. She mentions enjoying “samovar chai te Kashmiri Thani tchot,” which she enthusiastically describes as “best breakfast ever BTW” in her caption. For those unfamiliar, samovar is a traditional metal container used to heat and serve Kashmiri tea, while Thani tchot refers to a traditional Kashmiri bread.
The actress also mentions her love for Nadru (lotus stem), a popular Kashmiri delicacy, and shares her experience of plucking home-grown produce, suggesting she may have been staying with family or friends who maintain kitchen gardens in the region.
Beyond food, Hina’s post indicates she explored traditional markets, appreciated local artistry, and took road trips to soak in the valley’s gorgeous sunsets.
This Kashmir getaway appears particularly significant for Hina Khan, who revealed her breast cancer diagnosis last year. The actress has been open about her health journey, using her platform to raise awareness about the disease while documenting her own path to recovery.
During an exclusive photoshoot with a publication ahead of Eid celebrations, Hina expressed that her wish this year was to be “cancer-free for life.” She mentioned that the festival held special significance as she emerged stronger and more resilient after her challenging battle with cancer.
The Kashmir trip seems to be part of her healing process, with the pristine natural beauty and cultural richness of the valley providing much-needed respite.
Hina Khan’s affection for Kashmir runs deep, and this isn’t her first visit to the picturesque valley. The actress has shared several posts from Kashmir in the past, highlighting her connection to the region’s beauty and culture.
Her caption “ALL THINGS KASHMIRI…” followed by “Therapy, Healing ❤️🩹” speaks volumes about how the valley serves as a place of comfort and restoration for her, particularly during this challenging period in her life.
As Hina continues her recovery journey, this retreat to Kashmir seems to have provided her not just with scenic beauty but with meaningful experiences that nourish both body and soul. From the tranquility of Dal Lake to the the richness of Kashmiri cuisine, the actress appears to have found genuine healing in the embrace of the valley.
