Tahira Kashyap, director, writer, and actress Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife, has revealed that her breast cancer has recurred. In a heartfelt and empowering Instagram post, she expressed her preparedness to take on “Round 2” of the fight. Tahira, initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018, has been open about her experiences, using social media to raise awareness and encourage others.
This time is not different. In her heartfelt 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. Her caption added a sense of humor and empowerment: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade… When life gets too generous and hurls them again your way, squeeze them into your favorite kala khatta drink and have a sip with good intention.
Ayushmann reacted emotionally, showering her with support and love. Fans, friends, and followers overwhelmed her post with words of encouragement and praise for her strength.
Tahira has never shied away from talking about her treatment process openly, and she has become a symbol of strength. On World Cancer Day in 2025, she had uploaded a series of pictures on living life, with a very empowering picture of herself walking the ramp with confidence, bald as a result of chemotherapy. Her messages still motivate people, as she lives each page of her life with gratitude and strength. On World Health Day, her message was all about the significance of self-care and periodic health checks.
