Tahira Kashyap who turned a year older on 21 January is also a great inspiration to women who are battling cancer and coping with changes to their body.

In September, Ayushman announced that his wife is battling through DCIS ( Ductal carcinoma in situ) cancer. Tahira has since then kept sharing her picture, spreading awareness about breast cancer along with her own stories of how she copes day to day, encouraging patients of cancer to “be resilient and be strong, we shall overcome”.

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. Hence the cap look nowadays😁 This post is dedicated to my journey where half the battle is won and the other half I want to fight with each of you who is enduring it. Be resilient, be strong, we shall overcome and how! Also I have immense gratitude for people around me who have taken it in the right spirit and didn’t give up on me. Personally I owe it to my best friend @komal20to77 husband @ayushmannk parents @kashyap6480 @yajankashyap . This bit is taken for granted but when professionally you are supported and still look dependable your resilience to fight becomes stronger. For this I owe it to @atulkasbekar @tanuj.garg @findingshanti @shrutiv11 who too were shocked when they heard the news but didn’t give up and still lay bet on this bruised but not broken horse. Gratitude 🙏 #earlydetection #breastcancerawareness #fuckcancer #spreadingawareness #selflovenomatterwhat #bruisedbutnotbroken #bodhisattva #sokavictor #spreadlove #compassion

After her final chemotherapy session, Tahira announced that she was choosing to go bald and ditch her extension calling them ‘incovenient’.

Hello world! That’s a new me with the old self! Was getting tired of the extensions, so this is how it is and it’s so liberating in every sense of the word, so much so that I don’t have to duck the shower while bathing or while picking up the soap! I never thought I had go bald, was stretching my time with the good ol ’ cap for too long. But this feels so good #breastcancerawareness #baldisbeautiful #selflovenomatterwhat

The Andhadhun Actor had also given fans his own dose of inspiration by sharing how he her fasted on Karvachauth for her and he even drew a mehendi tattoo with “T’’ for Tahira in Hindi.

Tahira has shown a great courage despite the trauma that comes with a life threatening disease. She is a true wonder woman who remained optimistic in this battle against cancer.

Happy Birthday Tahira!
