Ayushman’s wife diagnosed with breast cancer

Ayushman’s wife Tahira Kashyap detected with stage 0 breast cancer:

Bollywood actor Ayushman Khurana’s wife Tahira Kashyap revealed that she has been diagnosed with stage 0 breast cancer and recently went through a mastectomy procedure. She took to Instagram and wrote that she was detected with DCIS in her right breast with high-grade malignant cells. Simply put a stage 0 cancer/ pre-cancerous stage, with cancer cells multiplying in a contained area. On Instagram, she posted a picture in which she is holding blood drains in both her hands.

In her post, she said, “I was detected with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in my right breast with high-grade malignant cells. The result I have become a half Indian version of Angelina Jolie! I told my doctor now is the time to give some competition to the Kardashians since Pamela is passé.”

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. The result I have become a half Indian version of Angelina Jolie (since only one breast was involved)! I told my doctor now is the time to give some competition to the Kardashians since Pamela is passé. But no one listened to me, so now I have a portion of my back tissue in my breast. Perhaps now I can do chin-ups with my breasts! Jokes apart, this obstacle has given me a new definition of life. Respect it’s unpredictability and have the faith and courage to be the hero of your own drama of life. The invincible human spirit is God like, gives you the courage to endure and the will to revive. There is nothing that human spirit can’t do. Also I want women of all ages to be aware. I am 35, and I was returned twice over from a mammogram. If any symptoms come up, think of it as a protective force and get yourselves examined. Also we are so obsessed with boobs. This mastectomy has left me with even more self love! Big, small, left or right inclined , gravity pulling or defying, or even none, each breast the presence or lack of it has a story to tell. Mine has made me a 2.0 version of myself! This post is dedicated to awareness, self love and resilience of a warrior that I know each one of us possesses❤️ #breastcancerawareness #selflove #determination #faith #bodhisattva #bodhisattvaoftheearth

She also posted a long message with the picture describing her medical condition and also asked the women to be aware of the medical condition. Through the post, she wished to spread awareness about breast cancer.

Talking about his wife’s medical condition Ayushman said that the family was shocked after hearing the news, however, he was glad that the surgery went successful and Tahira has been discharged now.

Recently, Tahira directed a short film titled ‘Toffee” that was screened at the 30th Cinekid International Film Festival and at the 14th Bahamas International Film Festival. She is also set to direct one new feature film and will announce the title of the film soon.
