Mumbai, April 7 (NationPress) Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has shown his steadfast support for his wife, Tahira Kashyap, as she confronts a relapse of breast cancer after a duration of seven years.

On this year's World Health Day, Tahira Kashyap utilized her Instagram account to announce her diagnosis, underscoring the critical need for regular mammograms among cancer survivors. She shared a post stating, “Seven year itch or the power of regular screening - it’s a perspective, I would like to go with the latter and recommend the same for everyone who needs to get regular mammograms.

In the post's caption, she added, “When life gives you lemons make lemonade. When life becomes too generous and throws them again at you, you squeeze them calmly into your favorite 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.” (sic)
Seven years prior, Tahira underwent a mastectomy, and throughout her journey, she has remained transparent and vocal, leveraging her experience to educate others about breast cancer.
In 2018, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, specifically DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ), a condition where high-grade malignant cells were detected in her right breast. This was categorized as stage 0, a pre-cancerous stage.
