Despite some fabulously-realistic love flicks on the silver screen, Ayushmann Khurrana’s real-life love journey with childhood lover-turned-wife, Tahira Kashyap has inspired everyone and proved that fairytale romance still exists. Tahira was diagnosed with early signs of breast cancer in September, and after her Mastectomy, Tahira is back to work in November.

Sharing a selfie on Twitter, Tahira tweeted, “Work starts! #preproduction #HappyThanksgiving #gratitude”. Needless to say, her husband Ayushmann re-tweeted her post on his Twitter and wrote, "So proud!" Here’s the screenshot of the same:
With the back-to-back releases and Tahira in the hospital, Ayushmann spoke about dealing with his wife’s illness and juggling between his work commitments. In an interview with Mid-Day, Ayushmann had stated, “She was diagnosed on my birthday [September 14]”. Post which, they decided to deal with the Big C in the most unique way. Ayushmann further stated, “We had to maintain a happy life state to deal with it. In fact, after we got to know about her condition, we went to see Manmarziyaan that evening. We told ourselves, ‘Okay, we’ve been diagnosed. We can’t go home and cry about it. It’s better to go for a film.’ So, we watched the film, came back and got the date for her operation.”
Sharing what he went through after learning about Tahira’s cancer and how he has started looking at his life in a very different way, Ayushmann shared in an interview with Pinkvilla, "I think I have started looking life in a different way altogether. I'm more happy has a persona, I'm more patient as a person. Small things don't bother me anymore because with an issue like that you have to have a very healthy and happy state of mind because you are also working at the same time, two films were releasing and she was in the hospital.” (Also Read: Ayushmann Khurrana And Tahira Kashyap's Love Story: Met At A Tution Centre To Family Playing Cupid)
Revealing the silver lining in their scenario, Ayushmann went on to say, “So, in the morning I used to promote my films and go back to the hospital in the night. I was sleepless for seven nights and seven days. It was not easy but since she was positive, she inspired me a lot. We were also lucky enough as we got to know about it at the early stage that's the silver lining. We decided to keep it positive."
Sharing a family picture recently on her Instagram handle, Tahira captioned it, “We are pretty much the tree in the background #familytime #fromeldesttoyoungest #blessed #firsttimeallinframe @aakritiahuja @aparshakti_khurana @ayushmannk @ombrebyhj”. Here’s the picture we are talking about:
Sharing a lovely romantic picture with Ayushmann from their photoshoot for the cover of HT Brunch, Tahira wrote, “This is a special one as this is a first for the both of us together. Haven’t gotten ourselves clicked like this in the past 17 years (including 10 years of marriage) except for the last time at our marriage where we adorned our wedding as Christmas baubles sitting on a red sofa accepting shagun that would contribute to the wedding expense. Yea very middle class but much fun. The memories of that day do tickle a funny bone but some are scarring like the one with the photographer.”
Further revealing the details of their wedding photoshoot, her caption could be read as, “He made us make poses that were extremely clichéd but then he had to exhibit his artistic side too. So from looking from the corner of our eyes towards each other, to looking away from each other with our hands intertwined strategically exposing our wedding bands. From him standing behind me & me sitting in front of him & vice versa. From his hand holding my hand but not directly, Alas that would be too tacky for the maverick behind the camera. So the genius had my husband run his hand from behind my waist & hold my hand from the front & his other hand ran from the front of my waist stretching enough to reach my other far-fetched suffocated hand that was trying hard to breathe through the little pores that were sparingly left sans the mehendi, the 2 dozen red & white bangles, nani mama’s golden bangles, my mother’s favourite bangles, Babaji’s Kadda & last but not the least the kalira’s (golden embellishments hanging from the bangles)”.
