Rajshri Deshpande had previously revealed that she was diagnosed with grade 1 breast cancer and underwent surgery. She has frequently updated her followers on her health journey. In March this year, she posted about the emotional impact of her diagnosis, describing the moment she first received the news and how it left her shaken.

She recounted, “When I first learned about my breast cancer, I still remember breaking down all alone outside the histopathology report center in the hospital. No, I couldn’t stay strong. I had no strength. Even today, when people ask me, ‘How did this happen to you? You’re so fit,’ honestly, I don’t have an answer.”
