Ayushmann Khurrana’s Wife Tahira Detected With Stage 0 Cancer, Fans Wish Speedy Recovery
Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife Tahira Kashyap has been diagnosed with Stage 0 breast cancer. The actor’s wife shared this news on her Instagram with a strong and positive message.
Tahira shared a picture of herself dressed in hospital clothes. She captioned the image as: “I was detected with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in my right breast with high-grade malignant cells. Simply put stage 0 cancer/ pre-cancerous stage, with cancer cells multiplying in a contained area. The result I have become a half Indian version of Angelina Jolie (since only one breast was involved)! I told my doctor now is the time to give some competition to the Kardashians since Pamela is passé.”
But no one listened to me, so now I have a portion of my back tissue in my breast. Perhaps now I can do chin-ups with my breasts! Jokes apart, this obstacle has given me a new definition of life. Respect it’s unpredictability and have the faith and courage to be the hero of your own drama of life. The invincible human spirit is God-like, gives you the courage to endure and the will to revive. There is nothing that human spirit can’t do.”
“I want women of all ages to be aware. I am 35, and I was returned twice over from a mammogram. If any symptoms come up, think of it as a protective force and get yourselves examined. Also, we are so obsessed with boobs. This mastectomy has left me with even more self-love! Big, small, left or right inclined, gravity pulling or defying, or even none, each breast the presence or lack of it has a story to tell. Mine has made me a 2.0 version of myself! This post is dedicated to awareness, self-love and resilience of a warrior that I know each one of us possesses #breastcancerawareness #selflove #determination #faith #bodhisattva #bodhisattvaoftheearth.”
Tahira is author, teacher, writer, director and a radio programmer. She will be making her debut as a director soon.
Meanwhile, Ayushmann Khurana is waiting for the release of his next film 'Badhaai Ho'. The film stars Neena Gupta in the lead role.
