Tahira Kashyap reveals breast cancer relapse seven years post-mastectomy

Filmmaker Tahira Kashyap, the wife of actor-singer Ayushmann Khurrana, penned an emotional note on Instagram revealing a relapse of her breast cancer, years after she underwent a mastectomy in 2018.

In the post, the 42-year-old wrote, "Seven year itch or the power of regular screening- it's a perspective, I had like to go with the latter and suggest the same for everyone who needs to get regular mammograms. Round 2 for me...I still got this."

Kashyap captioned the post, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life becomes too generous and throws them again at you, you squeeze them calmly into your favourite kala khatta drink and sip it with all the good intentions. Because for one it’s a better drink and two you know you will give it your best once again."

"#regularscreening #mammogram not shying away from saying it #breastcancer #onemoretime #letsgo. Ironically or not, today is #WorldHealthDay. Let’s do whatever we can in our capacity to take care of ourselves. #gratitude through and through (folded hands emoji)," concluded her note.

On occasion of World Cancer Day this year, ANI quote Kashyap saying, "Cancer is a journey that tests your strength, resilience, and faith. Early diagnosis and affordable treatment are, however, key to survival, and thanks to such government schemes, millions can now hope for a better future. Let's continue to support one another and raise awareness about early breast cancer detection because together, we can beat cancer."
