Instagram celebrity Tasnim Dawjee diagnosed with PCOS and Ovarian Cancer

This era of fashion is often paired with glamour, sophistication, and perfection, with fashionistas being considered the golden standard for beauty. In recent years, however, the industry has slowly turned into a more natural and common view of everyday life with the emergence of younger and more outspoken models. Tasnim Dawjee is among these new breeds of fashion enthusiasts that are slowly changing the game.


Born and brought up in Cape Town, South Africa since her childhood, Tasnim had a keen interest in modeling and travelling the world. She aced the art of acting at an early stage when others were still struggling to find an opportunity. From then on, she somewhere knew that she had something in her to blow up the scene.

Gaining life experience can help anyone grow as a person, and it’s safe to say that Tasnim Dawjee’s experiences– traveling across the world and gathering inspiration, and leaving her home country alike– have allowed her to evolve into the multi-talented, eclectic Instagram personality she is today.

For Tasnim, health has always been the first priority because of the situations she’s going through. Her recent diagnostic reports states that she’s suffering through multiple diseases which one cannot even think of.

The situations Tasnim is facing gave her the chance to look at things from different angles. Here are few highlights:

“In 2016 Tasnim was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) which is a hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges. Although, the cause of this syndrome isn’t well understood, but it may involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

It has been a real challenge for her after knowing she’s suffering through PCOS. Moreover, her situation got more worse in 2017 when she was diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) which is intestinal disorder causing pain in the stomach, wind, diarrhoea and constipation. In 2022, Tasnim was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, which is a very rare disease. Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and stomach. At this late stage, ovarian cancer is more difficult to treat and can be fatal.”

We know how difficult it is for this brilliant IG personality who’s focusing on multiple tasks and putting her whole mind into her upcoming projects. However, the multiple syndromes combined has been a real rocky path for her.


During her low times, she thought she would never be able to recover and achieve the success she was hoping for. However, when she became a successful IG personality, she learned to appreciate her new life. Her past has taught her to relish every possession and comfort she has earned, something she shares with her followers on Instagram.

Currently the Instagram Star is under treatment and seems positive to the future and believes she will overcome this battle and encourage many women out there who suffers with this condition to take care of their health and mental well-being.


We wish her a speedy recovery.
