Chhavi Mittal On Her Struggle With Lupus Rash: 'Doctors Are Failing At Advising'

Popular actress and breast cancer survivor Chhavi Mittal recently opened up about her ongoing health struggles on Instagram. She revealed that her Lupus (SLE) rash has been resurfacing. She shared details of what she goes through emotionally and how her health issues have not been under her control. She has shared a series of photos of herself sitting and smiling in a purple tank top. In the first photo, we can see her smiling and looking at the camera. In the second photo, Chhavi has shared her side profile and in the last one, she is again posing for a selfie. In this one, her fans can spot some lupus spots on her arms.

Sharing details of her health status, she wrote in her caption, “Anyone who’s going through any struggle would relate that not having things in your control is really dampening. My lupus (SLE) rash has been coming back and even though I’m not one to be daunted by it, it does feel frustrating that I cannot put my finger on what causes these flare ups, which invariably leave a white, de-pigmented mark. I have 100 of these on my body now (face, neck, back, arms, chest, stomach) with no clue as to what I’m doing wrong or what I should do to correct it. Doctors are failing at advising. Alternate medicine has failed.”

“I’m back to steroids but as of now.. no improvement. There are flare ups, and then it’s peaceful, until there are new flare ups again. The reason why I’m sharing this is so you remember, even though in life, there are always things that seem to go wrong.. we still need to continue counting our blessings. My toe injury is not a fracture, my back ache is under control, professionally there are too many exciting things happening, my kids are amazing, and I’m surrounded by people who love me,” Chhavi informed her fans.

Along with her health update, she also said, “All those who troll me for my choice of gym wear.. that’s exactly what it is. MY CHOICE.”

Known for her work in TV serials like Tumhari Disha, Ek Chutki Aasma, Krishnadasi, Adaalat and more, Chhavi shared that she had early-stage breast cancer in 2022. Early this year, she updated her fans saying that she had fully recovered from cancer and had been working towards her fitness goals.

The actress is married to director Mohit Hussein, with whom she has two children – son Arham and daughter Areeza.
