Writer-director Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, wife of Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana, was detected with pre-invasive breast cancer last year. Ever since then, she has documented her journey of battling cancer on social media, from posting photographs of chemotherapy to sharing how cancer changed her attitude towards life. On the occasion of Cancer Survivor Day, Tahira posted an inspirational video on Instagram, wherein she called her cancer 'scar', a birthmark. Set against the backdrop of a hospital's operation theatre, the one-minute twenty-seven second clip features Tahira laying on a hospital bed and surrounded by doctors. 

Sharing the video, Tahira wrote, "I hope this video is taken in the right spirit. Not each of us has same cancer, or the same stage, or even the same circumstances." As she started off the video by saying "a small mark, a big meaning," she saluted all the warriors in her post by saying, "I bow my head to respect the unpredictability of life and I raise my head with determination to deal with it too."

I hope this video is taken in the right spirit. Not each of us has the same cancer, or the same stage, or even the same circumstances. But what is same within each of us, is the burning fire to survive, the hope to cheat any ultimatum given to us, the invincible human spirit which gives us the courage to endure and the will to revive, the resilience of a warrior... and all this sums up to the unlimited human potential that we all possess. I hope this video will help tap into that reservoir of positivity, hope and courage. I salute people who are enduring, they for me are the warriors. I salute those who have crossed the bridge, they for me are the survivors, I salute those who succumbed, they for me are the bravest soldiers. I salute the friends and families of those inflicted with the disease, they for me are the precious support system. I bow my head to respect the unpredictability of life and I raise my head with determination to deal with it too. In all, I want to keep a joyous spirit and wish the same for you. #cancersurvivorsday #breastcancerawareness #selflove #birthmark @blush_channel #unblushed @sandhyadaisysundaram #vidushitiwari #culturemachine

Meanwhile, her husband Ayushmann, who has been her support in her battle against cancer, could not help but be proud of her 'warrior princess'.
