Filmmaker Tahira Kashyap Khurrana has revealed that her breast cancer has relapsed for the second time. The 42-year-old penned a note (see inset) on Instagram on Monday morning, speaking about battling cancer again after seven years.

Tahira, who is married to actor Ayushmann Khurrana, captioned the post, “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.”

Highlighting that it was World Health Day (April 7) when she got the news, Tahira credited regular mammograms for early detection this time around. Ayushmann commented, “My hero.” Actor Sonali Bendre, who was diagnosed with stage four metastatic cancer in 2018 and became cancer-free in 2021, also expressed support: “No words baby! Just sending love strength and prayers (sic).”

Tahira was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018, undergoing mastectomy and chemotherapy. She was vocal about the treatment throughout its course, sharing regular updates on social media for her fans.
