Mahima told ETimes that she is now cancer-free. The actress brushed off rumours about going to the US for her cancer treatment and said, "People didn't see the video fully, they have just jumped to conclude that I went to America for my treatment. But the fact is that I was very much in Mumbai."

Speaking about how her daughter Ariana was a strong pillar of support for her during those trying times, she revealed, "She categorically told me that she'll stay at home because she didn't want to risk the COVID virus from coming home as I was in my recovery stage.
