Talking about her recovery, in an interview, Kirron Kher spoke about going to the hospital once a month for maintenance therapy. "Some people get cured and some don't. Even the doctors don't know how and why it happened. Medical science doesn't really have a concrete answer. I would much rather not have it. But it's something I had to accept," said Kirron.

"It's not the ideal situation to be in. Par yeh zindagi hai (this is life). One learns to deal with them and carry on. There's no way out except to treat it. Nobody likes going through the treatment or its side effects," she added.

She's always been a fighter and takes things head on. She's all heart and that's why she has so many people that love her. So keep sending your love to her whenever you feel like. In your prayers and in your heart."
