Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]: Filmmaker and author Tahira Kashyap is back at work with renewed strength and determination after revealing a relapse of breast cancer following an eight-year gap. The wife of actor Ayushmann Khurrana took to Instagram on Thursday to share a heartfelt update on her health and her resilient spirit.
With a photo of her laptop screen displaying a script page, Tahira expressed her gratitude and optimism. The document featured a cinematic-style note that read:
“INTERVAL – INT/EXT DAY UNIVERSE… After a brief hiatus, the woman in question holds her laptop to write another script one more time. With gratitude in her heart, prayer on her lips, and a smile beaming through her eyes, she mumbles – ME: Thank you, universe. Thank you, God, for all the challenges and all the blessings. Had it not been for these obstacles, I wouldn’t have acknowledged your love. Thank you for giving me another opportunity to become a better version of myself. And so, here’s to Tahira 3.0! Back to the grind, back to the hustle, back to life, and so glad to be back at work! Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost :)”
Earlier, on April 7, Tahira had shared that she was ready to face the disease again. In an empowering post, she wrote:
“Seven-year itch or the power of regular screening–it’s a perspective I’d 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.”
Diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time in 2018, Tahira has been an inspiration to many with her openness and courage. Just last month, she shared a photo with a shaved head, symbolizing her strength as she undergoes chemotherapy again.
Tahira and Ayushmann are parents to two children—a son and a daughter. As she takes on her health challenge once more, Tahira’s spirit remains unbroken, and her words serve as a reminder that the story is far from over.
