Kirron Kher was diagnosed with
multiple myeloma
, a type of
blood cancer
, in 2020. She recently shared insights into her tough battle with
cancer
and how, despite undergoing intense
treatment
, she never gave up her role as a judge on India’s Got Talent.
In an interview with News18, Kirron mentioned that she had not been acting during her battle with cancer, focusing only on her role as a judge on
India’s Got Talent
while living in her hometown, Chandigarh.
She explained that she remained committed to the show but avoided other projects, including films. Despite undergoing major treatment, she continued her work on India’s Got Talent, stating that she could not give up the show.
Reflecting on her journey, she said, “Everyone fears that one day something like this might happen. But when it does, there’s no choice but to accept it. The treatment, with all its side effects, was harder than the illness itself. The first six to eight months were very tough, but you leave it in the hands of the Lord. I’ve always believed, even when fighting elections, that ‘This is not my fight; the Lord fights for me.’”

Though she has recovered, Kirron emphasised her deep faith in God, stating that while people often believe they are in control, it is the divine that truly shapes events. She also noted that her battle with cancer is not yet over, as her treatment continues despite her recovery. She explained, “They don’t even say that you have beaten it. They continue the treatment. They give it at longer intervals, but the treatment goes on for years.”
