Actor Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife Tahira Kashyap revealed on Saturday that she was detected with pre-invasive breast cancer.
Tahira posted on Instagram: “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.”
Referring to Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, who had a double mastectomy to reduce her breast cancer risk, Tahira wrote: “The result I have become a half Indian version of Angelina Jolie (since only one breast was involved).”

“I told my doctor now is the time to give some competition to the Kardashians since Pamela Anderson is passe. But no one listened to me, so now I have a portion of my back tissue in my breast.
“Perhaps now I can do chin-ups with my breasts! Jokes apart, this obstacle has given me a new definition of life. Respect its unpredictability and have the faith and courage to be the hero of your own drama of life.
“The invincible human spirit is God like, gives you the courage to endure and the will to revive. There is nothing that human spirit can’t do.”
She warned women of all ages to be aware.
