Bald and Beautiful: This Bridal shoot of a cancer survivor melt hearts!

Cancer is always brutal. It changes everything right from how you look to how you feel. Most importantly, it will take your confidence to a toll.

Navi was only 22 when she was diagnosed with third stage breast cancer in 2013. After a lumpectomy and several sessions of chemo therapy, Navi was declared cancer free in 2015. However, a random health check-up last year revealed that her cancer has returned.

However, not one to take things lying low, Navi decided to celebrate herself instead of feeling sorry and become an inspiration for all those suffering performance.

The intensive chemo had an effect on the way she looked. But that has not stopped Navi from being herself and enjoying her life just like the rest. In fact, Navi is set to get married and her wedding photo shoot is so beautiful and inspiring that her followers couldn’t stop raving.

Now, 28 years old Navi is all set to get married and her bridal shoot is making rounds on social media, creating a lot of positivity out there.

“Cancer treatments has given us alot of limitations, has robbed us from beauty and taken away our confidence. As a little girl, we have always dreamt of what our big day will be like and how we would look as a bride,” Navi wrote in one of her Instagram posts. “But having cancer has stripped some of us from fulfilling these dreams. A lot of cancer survivors have postponed or even cancelled their big day.”

The shoot was done by wedding photographer Celes Gerard who wrote in an Instagram post, Navi “told me her idea was to portray herself as a bride, but has got loads of complications to deal with, and this bride is going to be an example, that life still can go on if you put your heart to it. This bride, made the whole concept effortless for me!”

People are pouring their heart out to the wonderful photo shoot and is complementing her smile, which indeed is vicious.

Cancer treatments has given us alot of limitations, has robbed us from beauty and taken away our confidence. As a little girl, we have always dreamt of what our big day will be like and how we would look as a bride. But having cancer has stripped some of us from fulfilling these dreams. Alot of cancer survivors has postponed or even cancelled their big day. For me, as a cancer survivor, I dreamt the day I marry the love of my life. Dreamt, what it is like to look like a bride, to feel like a bride. Having gone through cancer treatments (chemotherapy, etc.), losing my hair was by far the hardest thing I ever had to go through. I felt that I was not beautiful enough to be loved and was not beautiful enough to look or ever feel like a bride. Hair, it is our ‘crowning glory’ and having that taken away from you is devastating. But we choose to accept what we have, appreciate what we are and welcome what is coming. So here it is, *Bold Indian Bride* ****************************************************** Bangles & Bridal Anklet : @desirec.my Silk Saree & Bridal Veil : @pattushastra Photography: @celesgrd Assisted by: @shi.vaa90 Make-up & Styling : @blushbeautybeyond Assisted by : @emmanuel_ravi98 Henna: @bdazzled_beauty #kissedbycancer #cancersucks #cancersurvivor #youngadultcancer #letsfcancer ** A huge thank you to the team. You guys made my dream come true. Not only I looked like a bride, I felt like a bride and it was all thanks to the wonderful team for bringing it to life. I am so grateful to have met such wonderful people. I am extremely blessed for the amount of love and support I have received. Scrolling through the pictures, tears rolled down because I got to have my dream come true and it is because you guys made it happen for me. I am extremely grateful. Thank you all so much. Lots of love, Navi
