One of the most gorgeous actresses of yesteryears Mumtaz was diagnosed at the age of 54. Instead of giving up, she chose to fight. After some of the most dreadful sessions of surgery, chemo and radiation, she chose to give life another shot. She battled her weight gain, fatigue and other side-effects. Till today, her face has grace and charm which could give young actresses a tough run for money, all thanks to her exercise routine, swimming and a positive attitude!
In 2010, Mumtaz featured in the UniGlobe Entertainments documentary on cancer survival ‘1 a Minute’, with other international stars who had fought and survived cancer.
