Filmmaker and author Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, who is also the wife of National Award-winning actor Ayushmann Khurrana has always been vocal about her battle with breast cancer and has been doing everything in her capacity to spread awareness about the same. On National Cancer Awareness Day, we look back at Tahira’s journey with breast cancer and how she has spread awareness for the same.

It was in 2018 that Tahira was diagnosed with breast cancer. Speaking about the same in an Instagram post, she said, “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.”
