Tahira Kashyap on battle with breast cancer: Grateful to those who still bet on this bruised but not broken horse
Tahira Kashyap had earlier revealed that she had DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in her right breast with high grade malignant cells
Writer-director Tahira Kashyap recently shared her breast cancer diagnosis on social media. Kashyap, wife of actor Ayushmann Khurrana, revealed that she had been prescribed 12 sessions of chemotherapy and she had already completed six. The post was a tribute of sorts to her half-mark journey of battling the disease.
She thanked her friends, husband Khurrana and parents for their constant support throughout the time. Tahira sported a T-Shirt that read "F*#K CANCER." Reaching out to other people afflicted with the disease, Kashyap requested them to be resilient and strong during the difficult phases. Tahira added that her 'cap look' was owing to the regular chemo sessions (which results in hair loss). Her "upgraded version" was seen doing boxing stunts and side kicks as a sign of a will to fight cancer. In another clip, she showed the 'six' sign to depict the number of chemo session she's undergone.
Kashyap had earlier revealed that she had been diagnosed with pre-invasive breast cancer. She shared a social media post stating that she had DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in her right breast with high grade malignant cells.

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 A post shared by tahirakashyapkhurrana (@tahirakashyap) on
