Actor Ayushmann Khurrana‘s wife, filmmaker Tahira Kashyap, is currently back home and on the path to recovery after sharing that her breast cancer has returned nearly seven years after her initial diagnosis. Tahira updated her fans on Instagram, posting a bright photo of herself holding a sunflower, along with a heartfelt message. She expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support she has received from fans and well-wishers during this challenging time.
Tahira’s note read, “Basking in all the love and prayers! They are magical. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Back home and recovering. I know some of you who are praying, and so many whom I don’t know, yet I receive all your goodness with grace. Similarly, some of you know me, and others might not, but I send all my gratitude to all of you. When such a connection is made, which is beyond an actual relationship, it’s called humanity, the highest form of spirituality.” On April 7, Tahira had initially opened up about her health condition, expressing her readiness to face the cancer battle once again.
In her revealing Instagram post, Tahira wrote, “Seven-year itch or the power of regular screening–it’s a perspective I’d like to go with the latter and suggest the same for everyone who needs to get regular mammograms. Round 2 for me… I still got this.” Demonstrating her resilience and positivity, she added, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life becomes too generous and throws them at you again, you squeeze them calmly into your favorite kala khatta drink and sip it with all the good intentions. Because, for one, it’s a better drink, and two, you know you will give it your best once again.”
First diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018, Tahira has been open about her journey, recently sharing an inspiring photo of herself with a clean-shaven head, a result of her chemotherapy treatment. Married to the acclaimed actor Ayushmann Khurrana, Tahira and Ayushmann share two children, a son and a daughter. Support and solidarity continue to pour in as Tahira confronts this major life challenge alongside her family, demonstrating the powerful bond they share.
