Ek Chutki Aasma actress Chhavi Mittal shared a new post on her Instagram entry that reflects her current mood. The actress, who was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, shared an update on her health. She wrote: "I can't keep calm coz my radiation is finally over! I only recover from this point onwards. I have to follow all restrictions for 30 more days and then I'll be a free bird." She shared three pictures and she wrote in her caption: "Image 1 shows my marking-free stomach! Image 2 shows the markings I carried for a month while the radiation took place. And image 3 has a story."

Chronicling her journey in the post, Chhavi Mittal  added, "I had to hold my breath while the radiation was being given and when I would get breathless and breathe, the machine would stop. So just to make the whole process fun and build on my breath holding time, I would always count in my mind... Mississippi 1, Mississippi 2.... In this picture Pooja Gor accompanied me for my radiation session and when I shared this tiny bit of info with her, she told me a joke that changed my counting for the rest of the sessions "How does a hippi count his wives? Mrs hippi 1, Mrs hippi 2..."

The actress signed off her post with these words: "Well, these little things made my radiation smooth and I can't thank the universe enough for how blessed I am! Soon this will all be behind me! Btw, I could hold my breath till Mrs hippi 32." She added the hashtag #cancersurvivor to her post.

Never thought I'd be posting this when we share more than just moments together. I just want to say.... You are braver than you give yourself credit for. The scars that a cancer patient carries are not the ones the world sees on the body, but the ones the soul carries deep within. And your battle scars are what will make you emerge even stronger... Love and love and more love to you."
