Ayushmann Khurana’s wife Tahira Kashyap was recently diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. This shocking news came after she had announced that she beat stage 0 breast cancer about two months ago. Tahira had taken to her Instagram feed to share her journey and thank all those who stood by her and support her. She underwent a mastectomy after the diagnosis and husband Ayushmann Khurrana had called her his warrior princess for beating it. She had also started going to work last week.
Now Tahira has been diagnosed with cancer for the second time. Tahira took to her Instagram feed to share a picture and two boomerangs of her accepting her condition and gearing up to fight it. She’s seen wearing an orange t-shirt that reads “F**k Cancer.” In the boomerangs, she’s seen kicking and punching away her struggles. She wrote an extremely powerful and moving caption.
In her caption, she spoke about this tough phase of her life that will help her know her strength. She wrote, “I strongly believe if an obstacle comes in your life it is for you to deal with it, overcome it, beat the shit out of it and become a better version of yourself, which could be a bit worn out but would be experienced, a bit tattered but more wise, a bit left out but more to bring forth, a bit handicapped but better equipped!”
She also wrote that she’ll have to go through 12 chemotherapy sessions. She’s done with six already.
She thanked her loved ones saying, “Also I have immense gratitude for people around me who have taken it in the right spirit and didn’t give up on me. Personally I owe it to my best friend @komal20to77 husband @ayushmannk parents @kashyap6480 @yajankashyap.”
More power to you, Tahira!
