Soha Ali Khan
Sharmila Tagore’s daughter, speaking about her mother’s diagnosis and surgery.
“It is very hard to diagnose early, and in her case it was stage zero and because she insisted on being cut open, a lot of people said it was unnecessary. She insisted and it was only at that stage on the table that they said it was malignant and managed to cut it all out, which was one of the best-case scenarios for somebody with lung cancer.”
