Tahira Kashyap Recalls Her Cancer Diagnosis
During an interview with Filmfare, Tahira Kashyap recalled her light-hearted take on her diagnosis. She revealed how she asked the doctor for some enhancement jokingly since she was going under the knife. She revealed how she made light of such a serious situation because she didn’t take herself that seriously and advised others to do so too. Kashyap also opened up about her parents’ reaction to her uploading her bald pictures after the diagnosis.
She revealed that her father wasn’t thrilled about it. She recalled, “My parents got really upset with me when I put my bald picture of myself. A bald look for a woman is synonymous with a disaster somehow, so they refused to talk to me and were forcing me to take it down. ” Tahira expressed how she wanted to celebrate it because that was who she was, but her parents were confused about her celebrating a physical illness.
But all this became okay when she decided to video call her mother wearing goggles and told her how much she loved her new look. She told her mother to accept her fate and smile about it even though she was still confused. This wisdom and inherent patience of Tahira Kashyap was commendable because facing such a difficult situation can bring a person down, but she showed her braveness and came back as a warrior.
