World Cancer Day | Tahira Kashyap | A real Fighter
World Cancer Day | Tahira Kashyap was diagnosed with breast cancer. But instead of getting cautious about it, the star wife fought with this deadly disease like a fighter.
Setting an example for all the cancer patients in the world, the 35-year-old writer shared backless picture of herself on the social media. On the occasion of World Cancer Day, Tahira posted a picture with an inspiring caption.
She wrote, “Today is my day! Wish you all a happy #worldcancerday and hope each one of us celebrates this day in an embracing way. That we remove any stigma or taboo associated with it. That we spread awareness about it and that we have self love no matter what. I truly embrace all my scars as they are my badges of honour. There is nothing known as perfect. Happiness lies in truly accepting yourself.”
“This was a tough one for me. But this picture was my decision as I want to celebrate not the disease but the spirit with which I endured.
To quote my mentor, Diasaku Ikeda, “Leading an undefeated life is an eternal victory. Not being defeated, never giving up, is actually a greater victory than winning, not being defeated means having the courage to rise to the challenge. However many times we’re knocked down, the important thing is we keep getting up and taking one step-even a half step- forward” #worldcancerday #breastcancerawareness #breastcancerwarrior #turningkarmaintomission #boddhisatva Thanks @atulkasbekar for this one”, she added.
A proud survivor of breast cancer, Tahira made her ramp walk debut at the recently-concluded Lakme Fashion Week. On the work front, Tahira is all set to make her Bollywood debut as a director. The yet-to-be-titled film will be produced by T Series’ Bhushan Kumar and Ellipsis Entertainment’s Tanuj Garg and Atul Kasbekar and will star Madhuri Dixit Nene, Sakshi Tanwar and Saiyami Kher.
Tahira’s actor husband Ayushmann Khurranna, who re-shared the post on his own Instagram, said: “Your scars are beautiful. You are a trailblazer.”
Ayushmann gave a massive shout-out to Tahira for her inspiring words and said: “Keep inspiring the millions who get depressed when they get to know about cancer. Be the lifer you are! Actress Neha Dhupia is also one of those who left a comment on the post: “Such beautiful words of wisdom and strength as always…,” she wrote while Twinkle Khanna, Ekta Kapoor and others also gave their thumbs ups.
