Tahira Kashyap is an inspiration in more ways than one. Wife to actor Ayushmann Khurrana, she is a director and author, who enjoys a tremendous fan following on social media. In addition to this, the one badge that Tahira Kashyap wears with pride is that of a cancer survivor. The author was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018 and has been vocal about the trials and tribulations on her road to recovery. Now, with October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Tahira Kashyap has penned a heartfelt note about the disease and urged her Instagram followers to act proactively. Sharing a photo in which she is holding a pink ribbon that signifies breast cancer awareness, she wrote, “Protect yourself. Value yourself. Nurture yourself.”
Reminding people about the importance of self-examination, Tahira Kashyap added, “Have gone through this route hence can suggest please do regular self-examinations. Younger age at times also doesn't help. Do not become an ostrich if you feel something is wrong. The wrong only gets detected timely if you take action towards it. Action means letting the doctors examine you and to go through their protocol.”
She ended the post on a positive note and added, “You are very significant, worthy of adding a lot of value. Never forget this please.”
