On World Health Day 2025, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, author, filmmaker, and cancer survivor, took to Instagram to reveal that her breast cancer has relapsed after seven years. The heartfelt post quickly garnered support from fans, friends, and celebrities, including her husband Ayushmann Khurrana, who called her “My Hero”. In her post, Tahira shared a powerful and poetic caption, writing, “When life gives you lemons make lemonade. When life becomes too generous and throws them again at you, you squeeze them calmly into your favourite 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.” Tahira was first diagnosed with Stage 0 breast cancer (DCIS) in 2018 and underwent a mastectomy. Since then, she has been vocal about her journey, using her platform to spread awareness about the importance of regular screenings and mammograms. Her candid posts and motivational tone have inspired thousands battling similar challenges.
