Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife Tahira Kashyap recently shared on Instagram that she has been detected with Stage 0 breast cancer. Tahira’s way of revealing her health condition will not only leave you impressed but will increase your respect for her manifold. She made light of such a grievous situation and tried to portray the condition in a not-so-serious manner.

She wrote, “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.”

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 thats 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 pass. 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 its 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 cant 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

Through her post, Tahira also tried to spread awareness about breast cancer. She wrote, “This mastectomy has left me with even more self love!

Talking about his wife, Ayushmann said that he is happy and relieved that she got discharged. On the work front, Tahira recently turned director and is yet to announce the title of her film. She recently directed a short film titled Toffee. On the other hand, Ayushmann is looking forward to the release of Sriram Raghavan’s murder mystery AndhaDhun opposite Tabu and Radhika Apte as well as Badhaai Ho opposite Sanya Malhotra.
