In a heartbreaking, yet hopeful post, Nafisa wrote,
¡°Ever since my chemotherapy I started noticing white patches on my neck area ... now being by the sea and getting a tan, I can tell it¡¯s on my face too. Such is life ... you win some and lose some. I have been diagnosed with Leucoderma ... What is it?
Quite similar to the skin condition ¡°Vitiligo¡± ¨Cleucoderma is a skin disorder in which patches of skin tend to lose their natural color. Leucoderma is regarded as the de-pigmentation of the skin which is marked by the localization or complete destruction of melanocytes in the body. The characteristic formation of white patches on the skin remains closely bound to each other unlike the patches formed in Vitiligo. Leucoderma is particularly known by the presence of white patches which could be localized to smaller areas in the beginning.
However, with the passage of time, the skin patches might get enlarged. Stay blessed and happy."
Nafisa is currently in Goa and was stranded with no medicines and basic groceries because of lockdown amid coronavirus pandemic.

However, after her earnest plea, she received extended help from the authorities.
The actress was diagnosed with stage 3 peritoneal and ovarian cancer in November 2018. After a consistent battle, she was declared cancer free in 2019.
Talking about her battle, she had said,
¡°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.¡±
Well, no matter how many curve balls life throws at her, she for sure knows how to come victorious in every challenge.
