"My mother was there for me when I told her I had surgery, but she didn't know what it was for. I kept the information from them because it gets difficult for me to take care of her while taking care of myself," said the Pardes actress.

It is curable, so I don't want anyone to be afraid of the treatment. I want people to know that I am on the set working now and I am fine. I want women to know that they can fully recover. That's the message I want to give."

In the same interview, Mahima said that she kept her will power strong only because of her daughter.

She said, "If my child told me to eat, even if I couldn't, I would still eat it. I wanted her to feel that I am fine and I am brave. I would put on an act in front of her. I sent her off to my sister's place as I didn't want her to see me like that, but she always came back. She was by my side throughout."
