Well, recently the first-look of Ayushmann Khurrana’s next film, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan was released in which we saw Ayushmann kissing his co-star, Jitendra Kumar. The scene spread like a wildfire on the internet and everyone was waiting for the reaction of Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife, Tahira Kashyap and the lady has left us all amazed with her answer.
Recently, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Tahira Kashyap opened up about seeing her husband, Ayushmann Khurrana kissing another man on the big screen. She said “I was delighted to see Ayushmann kissing a guy on screen! Honestly, now I view it from the perspective of respecting an artist and his work – so whether he kisses a man or woman, I am seeing the emotion of the character. When he kisses a girl, I can see that the man is in love with her and this is what he needs to do to show love. I would make my characters in my movies do the same. And now if he is kissing a man that’s the most natural thing for him to do because he is gay and that’s his way of expressing love.” (Don't miss: Kamya Panjabi Shares Unseen Pictures With Hubby, Shalabh Dang From Their Delhi Wedding Reception)
The inspirational woman, Tahira Kashyap then explained her perspective of watching her husband playing different kinds of roles in his movies. She added “Who am I to judge? My perspective of watching him on screen is surely from the perspective of what he as a character should be doing and in Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhaan this is what he should do because he is in love with the boy. What else do you do when you are in love?”
However, it wasn’t easy for Tahira to see her husband kissing another woman on the big screen during the initial days of his career. In an interview with SpotboyE, Tahira had talked about the time, when she had felt insecure in her relationship. She had shared, "I had a problem with him kissing on screen. I felt like a big, huge fat while sitting at home. When you are pregnant your hormones also go up and down. Here this boy is looking at his youngest youth best and he is romancing women and what is this onscreen kiss! We both were very young. He didn’t have the time and patience to take me along and I didn’t have the patience to understand. There was this disconnect that we were not there for each other to take each other along in that journey. Somewhere he knew that she doesn’t mean mad. I also knew he wasn’t cheating. I had to evolve as a person to understand what art is."

No wonder the level of understanding between Tahira Kashyap and Ayushmann Khurrana is of some another level and a lot of its credit goes to the fact that they’re together since childhood. Yes! You heard it right, Ayushmann and Tahira's love story is a different kind of a fairytale, wherein they had their own share of fights, insecurities, and gloomy days. But despite all of it, their willingness to stay together is the thing that brought both of them this far. The duo had tied the knot in the year 2011 and since then they had created a beautiful paradise of their own with their two little kids, Virajveer and Varushka. The couple has made us believe that to spend a lifetime together, all you need is the willingness to stay in love and a lot of compromises too.
