Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife, Tahira Kashyap made her first public appearance after undergoing mastectomy. Tahira posted on social media ten days ago that she has been diagnosed with stage 0 breast cancer. The surgery took place on September 18, 2018. Tahira shared her experience of being detected with pre-cancerous stage at the age of 35, with no family history. She credited husband Ayushmann for taking the symptoms seriously. After undergoing tests, she was detected with high grade DCIS. Tahira urged women to get health check ups done. She shared her story to create awareness and to say that cancer can happen to anyone.

Less than a month after her surgery, Tahira made her first public appearance with Ayushmann Khurrana at the screening of his film, Andhadhun. The film has received a thumbs up and celebs are praising Ayushmann and Radhika Apte’s performance in the film. Tahira also shared her thoughts on the film on Twitter. She shared that Andhadhun is Ayushmann’s 2.0 version which she loved. The film has been directed by Sriram Raghavan and releases in theatres tomorrow. Ayushmann and Tahira posed for photos for the media. The couple looked cool in stylish outfits.

Tahira has announced her directorial debut which will be a slice of life drama. The film will go on floors in February next year and casting is in progress currently. Tahira has also directed a short film, Toffee.

On the work front, Ayushmann’s Badhaai Ho trailer released recently and has been loved by the audience for it’s quirky subject.

An opportunity to give competition to the Kardashians just went wasted! A week back I mentioned about ‘my badge of honour’ that I was going to receive. And I did and am happy to share about it with the intention of it being received with love. As that’s the only reason I am posting it. Love for self and gratitude for the universe. The picture might be disturbing for some, but these drains have become my dumbells for a few days. 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. Also 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
