Last year, Ayushmann Khurrana made headlines with two back-to-back blockbuster hits, Andhadhun and Badhai Ho and proved his mettle at the box-office. However, things were different in his personal life as his lady-love, Tahira Kashyap was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer. But she continued to hold her grounds and became a wall of strength for many fighting the same war.

The soon-to-be director, Tahira showed immense courage while fighting the deadly disease and also spreading awareness for the same. And today on January 5, 2018, she took to Instagram to announce that she has completed her final chemotherapy session. Tahira is jumping with joy and celebrating her battle. Yes, you read it right. She captioned the post as, “Can’t keep calm!!! Last and final chemo! Fuck yesss!! It’s been some journey. The learning has been immense, some of which, I know, I will realise with time. Thank you to each one who has been praying for me! Lots of love and prayers from my end to each one of you! My heart is bouncing with joy and gratitude #newyearhereicome #2019 #breastcancerwarrior.” Check it out here:
On September 22, 2018, Tahira first talked about her condition on Instagram. She shared a picture and wrote an elaborated caption giving details, “An opportunity to give competition to the Kardashians just went wasted! A week back I mentioned about ‘my badge of honour’ that I was going to receive. And I did and am happy to share about it with the intention of it being received with love. As that’s the only reason I am posting it. Love for self and gratitude for the universe. The picture might be disturbing for some, but these drains have become my dumbells for a few days. I was detected with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in my right breast with high-grade malignant cells. Simply put stage 0 cancer/ pre-cancerous stage, with cancer cells multiplying in a contained area.” Check out the picture here: (Also Read: Vicky Kaushal Asked Katrina Kaif, 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi', Salman's Reaction Was Totally Unexpected)
However, cancer returned and Tahira made sure to give it a tough fight yet again. She wrote in her Instagram post, “That’s what you do when cancer shows up. You show it the way out! It is a tough phase to be in, but then I would have never known my own strength, which is inherent in each one of us, and which we come to know off when tested. Like I said before, let’s choose to be the heroes of our own drama of life. I strongly believe if an obstacle comes in your life it is for you to deal with it, overcome it, beat the shit out of it and become a better version of yourself, which could be a bit worn out but would be experienced, a bit tattered but more wise, a bit left out but more to bring forth, a bit handicapped but better equipped! So now the upgraded version of myself is dealing with cancer stage 1 a, which is still a result of early detection. I'll be going through 12 sessions of chemotherapy. 6 down, and another 6 left.” Take a look at the post here:
Last year in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Ayushmann revealed the reason why he kept a fast for his wife, Tahira on Karwa Chauth. He said, “For the past two years we have been fasting together. This is the first time Tahira couldn’t, as she’s undergoing chemotherapy. I decided to go ahead with it alone. She was really touched.” He further added, “It was kind of a role reversal in this patriarchal world but came straight from the heart. Even on my family WhatsApp group, everyone was giving us their blessings.” (Don't Miss: Rohit Suchanti On Srishty Rode And Manish Naggdev's Breakup, Says He Didn't Cross The Line)
Earlier, Tahira and Ayushmann had shared their love-story with DNA. Tahira revealed how they met, “We would go to the same Physics class and I had a crush on Ayushmann. I never thought we’d talk. Also, in Chandigarh, if a girl is slightly good looking, the boys keep hounding her. In most cases, it’s like harassment. But he didn’t approach me throughout the year and I was like, here’s one guy who isn’t troubling me.” On which Ayushmann quipped, “Kissi ne mujhe kabhi palatke hi nahin dekha!” To which Tahira added, “Rubbish! I got good vibes from him. Our parents were friends and they invited us to dinner. Aur inka ghar bahut zyada filmy tha. There was this huge Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham portrait of him, his mom, dad, and his brother. My friend and I wanted to know how we would fare in the exams since his dad is an astrologer. Then he came and bowled me over with a song.”
Well, we hope that 2019 is a healthy and memorable year for Tahira and Ayushmann!
