Author, teacher, writer, director and radio programmer Tahira Kashyap was diagnosed with cancer in 2018 and she has been battling the ailment like a boss lady. After her final session of chemotherapy, she took to social media to share a series of posts with husband and actor, Ayushmann Khurrana, celebrating her journey to recovery.
She wrote, “Can’t keep calm!!! Last and final chemo! F*#k yesss!! It’s been some journey. The learning has been immense, some of which, I know, I will realise with time. Thank you to each one who has been praying for me! Lots of love and prayers from my end to each one of you! My heart is bouncing with joy and gratitude.”
In an earlier Instagram post, Tahira Kashyap is seen wearing a t-shirt with the words ‘F*#K CANCER!’ with the caption “That’s what you do when cancer shows up.”
In November 2018, she returned to work after going through preventive mastectomy. On 22 September, Tahira revealed that she has been detected with pre-invasive breast cancer.
