Tahira Kashyap has been an inspiration for all of us. She was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, and she has shown immense strength and positivity while undergoing her treatment. Her husband and actor Ayushmann Khurrana has also been a constant support system.

In a recent interview with Rajeev Masand, Ayushmann opened up about his wife’s illness and how her strength helped him cope with the situation.

Watch the full interview here:

The actor said, “It was very difficult, and thanks to her that she was brave enough to take that positively, otherwise we would have completely broken. I was in the middle of two films, I was promoting Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho. And we got to know about it on my birthday. In fact, we saw Manmarziyaan on September 14 and we got to know about this disease that day.”

Ayushmann Khurrana also said that Tahira wanted to celebrate her life, so they were together in the situation, fighting the disease while promoting the films. “ It was a collective effort. I am glad that she has overcome and as we speak, she is delivering a lecture on how to fight cancer. She is an inspiration.”

Speaking about Tahira Kashyap’s next project, Ayushmann said that her upcoming directorial venture is a women-centric film.

When he was asked why he is not part of the film, he said, “I would love to work with Tahira and I am hoping that she will come up with something interesting for me as well. Also, I should not be part of her project, whether it is direction or production. She should take her own baby steps towards her own passion in life.”

Tahira herself has been very open about the way she dealt with cancer. In a recent Instagram post, she spoke about how her hair loss made her redefine beauty.
