When funny people meet . . . 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. . . #kissedbycancer #cancersucks #cancersurvivor #youngadultcancer #letsfcancer #portraitshots #portraitphotoawards #portraitsession #portraitclub #portraits_shots #portrait_page #portraitsofficial #portraitsketch #portraitmodel #portraitsvisuals #portraits_life #portraitmag #portrait_dev #portrait_society #portraitsla #portraitfeed #portrait_universe #portrait_pros #portraitstyles #portraitsquad #portraits #portrait #sigma16mm #sonya7iii #portraits_cg . .

But Navi isn't someone who let that take a toll on her spirit. Navi has been enjoying her life to the fullest, all set to get married. Moreover, she has gotten a fantastic bridal photoshoot done, pictures of which are being admired all over the world. Take a look at some of the photos. Take a look at some of the beautiful pictures:
The beaming 28-years-old is fighting against cancer with all the confidence in the world, and it clearly reaches to us via all these amazing pictures. We wish for a speedy recovery for Navi.
