Tahira shares an update

“Basking in all the love and prayers! They are magical. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Back home and recovering,” Tahira wrote in her post.
She added, “I know some of you who are praying and so many whom I don’t know and yet I receive all your goodness with grace, similarly some of you know me and others might not but I send all my gratitude to all of you. And when such a connection is made which is beyond actual relationship it’s called Humanity which is the highest form of spirituality”.

Sending lots of love to you Tahira”, with Twinkle Khanna sending her a “big hug”.

Tahira reveals her breast cancer has relapsed
On Monday, Tahira Kashyap revealed that her breast cancer has relapsed for the second time. Taking to Instagram, Tahira shared a post which read, “Seven year itch or the power of regular screening- it’s a perspective, I had 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.”
In the caption, Tahira wrote, “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 (red heart emoji). #regularscreening #mammogram not shying away from saying it #breastcancer #onemoretime #letsgo. Ironically or not, today is #WorldHealthDay. Let’s do whatever we can in our capacity to take care of ourselves. #gratitude through and through (folded hands emoji)”.
Tahira was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. She also posted several moments captured during her treatment journey. Tahira is married to Ayushmann Khurrana, with whom she shares two children–a son and a daughter.
