On World Health Day, filmmaker and author Tahira Kashyap shared deeply personal news, her breast cancer has returned, seven years after her initial diagnosis. Known for her courage and honesty, Tahira opened up about the relapse on Instagram, using her platform once again to spread awareness and emphasize the importance of regular health checkups. Her husband, actor Ayushmann Khurrana, was quick to show his unwavering support. In response to her emotional post, he left a brief but powerful comment: “My hero,” along with a heart and teary-eyed emoji, a gesture that captured the strength of their bond and his admiration for her resilience.
Tahira Kashyap’s post was both raw and hopeful. She wrote, “Seven-year itch or the power of regular screening, it’s a perspective,” encouraging her followers to prioritize mammograms and screenings. Confirming her relapse, she added, “Round 2 for me… I still got this.”
In her signature blend of humour and strength, Tahira continued, “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.” Her words, layered with metaphors and quiet courage, resonated with many.
The post drew an outpouring of support from friends and celebrities. Sonali Bendre, herself a cancer survivor, sent love and prayers. Mini Mathur cheered her on, writing, “You will win round 2 as well.” Twinkle Khanna added, “More power and lots of love,” while Aparshakti Khurana, Ayushmann’s brother, offered a heartfelt message in Punjabi: “Tussi ainu vi lamaa paa laaonge.” Tahira, who was first diagnosed in 2019, underwent a mastectomy and became a vocal advocate for cancer awareness. Her openness, then and now, continues to inspire.
