Tahira Kashyap Diagnosed With Breast Cancer Again

Tahira
Kashyap’s
breast
cancer
has
relapsed
after
seven
years,
and
she
broke
the
news
on
her
social
media.

‘Seven-year
itch
or
the
power
of
regular
screening-
it’s
a
perspective,
I
had
like
to
go
with
the
latter
and
suggest
the
same
for
everyone
who
needs
to
get
regular
mammograms.
Round
2
for
me…
I
still
got
this,’
Tahira
posted.

Tahira,
who
is
married
to
Ayushmann
Khurrana,
made
her
directorial
debut
with

Sharmajee
Ki
Beti
in
2024.

She
was
first
diagnosed
with
breast
cancer
in
2018
when
she
was
35.

‘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
and
sip
it
with
all
the
good
intentions.
Because,
for
one,
it’s
a
better
drink,
and
two,
you
know
you
will
give
it
your
best
once
again.

‘Ironically
or
not,
today
is
World
Health
Day.
Let’s
do
whatever
we
can
in
our
capacity
to
take
care
of
ourselves,
gratitude
through
and
through,’
she
adds.

Ayushmann
reacted
to
her
post
with
a
red
heart
emoji
and
the
words,
‘My
hero.’

Tahira
has


spoken
about
cancer
and
her
experience
regarding
that
on
multiple
occasions
earlier,
even
adding
some
humour,
stating,
‘I
have
become
a
half
Indian
version
of
Angelina
Jolie
(since
only
one
breast
was
involved)!’

She
adds:
‘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
b**bs.

‘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.’
