Tahira Kashyap Resumes Work With Renewed Spirit Amid Cancer Battle

MUMBAI (ANI)- Filmmaker and author Tahira Kashyap, wife of actor Ayushmann Khurrana, has shared an inspiring update with her fans, announcing her return to work after recently revealing a relapse of her breast cancer. Eight years after her initial diagnosis, Tahira took to Instagram on April 24 to express her unwavering spirit and determination.   

Posting a picture of her laptop screen displaying a script format note, she wrote, “INTERVAL – INT/EXT DAY UNIVERSE… After a brief hiatus, the woman in question holds her laptop to write another script one more time. With gratitude in her heart, prayer on her lips, and a smile beaming through her eyes, she mumbles – ME: Thank you, universe. Thank you, God, for all the challenges and all the blessings. Had it not been for these obstacles, I wouldn’t have acknowledged your love. Thank you for giving me another opportunity to become a better version of myself. And so, here’s to Tahira 3.0! Back to the grind, back to the hustle, back to life, and so glad to be back at work! Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost :)”

Earlier this month, Tahira had openly discussed her health, stating her readiness to face cancer again. In that post, she emphasized the importance of regular screening, sharing, “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.”   

Tahira was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. Last month, she shared a powerful image of herself with a shaved head, a consequence of chemotherapy, alongside moments from her ongoing treatment.
