Ayushmann Khurrana talks about his wife Tahira Kashyap's battle with cancer 






In the podcast  'My ex breast ', Ayushmann revealed that he and Tahira felt terrible the first time they heard of her cancer.

Recalling  the first time they heard of her cancer, Ayushmann and Tahira said, 'we were together in Delhi when we got to know about it from a doctor, we didn't know at all. '

Speaking about this jarring experience that threw their world into a chaos., Ayushmann  said, 'there was a time when both of us were very vulnerable sitting in a hospital. Again, you know people are asking for pictures where we were sitting by. I was hiding behind a pillar, the security guy and feeling terrible." 

Ayushmann recalled how Nichiren Buddhism helped his wife, Tahira Kashyap, cope with one of her darkest moments in life.  

He tells Tahira in the podcast " It gave you the strength to fight head-on. Now you are the victorious queen in front of me. I was happy that you are emotionally strong in a way that you are going to tackle this and fight this. We were together in this fight, but I was getting so inspired by you that you've probably become stronger than me." 

"You have a great presence. It doesn't come from your hairstyle, it comes from your chanting, your practice, the person you've become, your experiences in life and sum of everything,'he added.

Talking about the importance of women getting their breasts examined regularly, Ayushmann Khurrana said, 'women in India often find it very difficult to have open conversations when it comes to physicality and talking about subjects like breasts.'

While talking about Tahira's breast examination experience Ayushmann said, "Life is very important and it's precious. It's not just for you but for your kids and for your family. Start loving yourself. Self-love is most important. Yes, it's very underrated but at the same time, if you're selfless and you have self-love you will get it (breasts) examined and never think twice before going for checkups. You have to do it regularly and for yourself and also for family at the same time. You can't be having like a lackadaisical attitude towards it. You have to be proactive towards it. Because otherwise cancer spreads every minute, every hour and you need to fix it as soon as possible." 

Going through physical turmoil and feeling insecure about herself, Tahira Kashyap had turned to Ayushmann for comfort.

 "When I saw you for the first time, it's like a bald head walking confidently. I was like wow this is so hot, seriously because your strength was everything, it was part of the personality. Your shoulders were always upright, you were never lacking confidence. Some of me feels you look better now. It's just like version 2.0 of Tahira,'Ayushmann said.
