Tahira Kashyap Announces Breast Cancer Relapse After 7 Years, Advocates Regular Screening
Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, the acclaimed writer and Bollywood filmmaker, revealed on Instagram that her breast cancer has relapsed after seven years.
In a heartfelt note shared with her followers on April 7, the wife of actor Ayushmann Khurrana courageously spoke about her ongoing battle with the disease and emphasised the critical importance of regular screenings for early detection.
In her Instagram post, she humorously compared life’s challenges to a refreshing drink, writing, “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.”
