About Nafisa Ali’s cancer diagnosis

Nafisa was diagnosed with stage 3 peritoneal and ovarian cancer in November 2018. She was declared cancer free in 2019. Speaking about her struggle during that period, the actor had said in 2019, “I still have to go for check-ups every three months and it will be five years before it can be said that the cancer is in remission, but it was still a good reason to reach for the champagne.”

In 2020, Nafisa revealed that she had been diagnosed with leucoderma after she had noticed white patches on her skin while she was undergoing chemotherapy a few months back.

When it comes to work, she was last seen in the 2022 film Uunchai, directed by Sooraj Barjatya. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta, Sarika, and Danny Denzongpa.
