Filmmaker Tahira Kashyap, wife of actor Ayushmann Khurrana, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018 and underwent a mastectomy followed by chemotherapy. Throughout her battle, she openly shared her experiences, including the emotional journey of going bald. Though she appeared to have recovered, sadly, her cancer has now returned.
Tahira revealed in a World Health Day Instagram post that her breast cancer has returned.
"Seven year itch or the power of regular screening - it's a perspective, I had 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 (sic)" she wrote.
Tahira captioned the post, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life becomes too generous and throws them again at you, you squeeze them calmly into your favourite 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 (red heart emoji)."
"#regularscreening #mammogram not shying away from saying it #breastcancer #onemoretime #letsgo. Ironically or not, today is #WorldHealthDay. Let’s do whatever we can in our capacity to take care of ourselves. #gratitude through and through (folded hands emoji)," concluded her note.
Tahira made her directorial debut with Sharmajee Ki Beti, starring Sakshi Tanwar, Divya Dutta, Saiyami Kher, Vanshika Taparia, Arista Mehta, Sharib Hashmi, and Parvin Dabas. The film explores the dreams, struggles, and coming-of-age journeys of middle-class women from different generations and backgrounds. It premiered on Prime Video on June 28 last year.
Tahira is married to actor Ayushmann Khurrana, and the couple has two children—a son and a daughter.
