This is heartbreaking but also a wake-up call. As women, we often ignore back pain or bloating, thinking it's normal. My grandmother had similar symptoms and we caught it early only because of a routine check-up. Thank you, Rajeev, for using your platform for such an important cause.

It's commendable that he's sharing his pain to help others. In our busy lives, we often push our parents' health complaints aside. This is a reminder to listen more carefully to what our loved ones are telling us.

Rajeev is a good human being and a great actor. If only we had more awareness campaigns about ovarian cancer in India. Most women don't even know what symptoms to look out for. This show could really make a difference. 👏

I have mixed feelings. While it's good that he's speaking up, I feel like the guilt he carries isn't fair to himself. None of us are doctors, and these symptoms could be anything. What matters is that he's now helping spread the word. Hope he finds peace.

Yeh toh bohot emotional ho gaya 😢 I lost my aunt to ovarian cancer last year because we didn't know the signs. Sharing this article with everyone in my family. We need more men to talk about women's health issues openly.
