Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife Tahira Kashyap left everyone surprised when she opened up about undergoing mastectomy after scans and tests indicated early stages of breast cancer. She revealed about her stage 0 breast cancer in a heartfelt and lengthy post on social media. Ayushmann also spoke about it and called his wife his “warrior princess”. Today, Tahira once again shared another post on her Instagram with a snapshot of a newspaper article that she had written about her cancer diagnosis. She also revealed that it was Sonali Bendre who helped her stay positive during her treatment.
Tahira wrote in her article, “Just a few weeks ago, I read Sonali Bendre’s post and the amazing life condition she exhibits. At that point, I hadn’t discovered about my own condition. After reading her post, I made a mental note to emulate the high life state and the invincible spirit that she has. Well, the time to do the same came much sooner."
Sonali, on July 4, revealed that she has been diagnosed with high-grade cancer and is undergoing treatment in New York. Sonali has been facing cancer head on and has been inspiring many by sharing key moments from her journey and her treatments on her social media account.
Ayushmann showered love and appreciation on his wife and hailed her for the strong, determined and resilient person she is.
Dear @tahira_k you have become my biggest inspiration. It takes immense courage to share your challenge with everybody. You will be victorious. I have started seeing life through a different prism because of you! https://t.co/KgtHjAlDbv
