    Ayushmann Khurrana Reveals He Learnt Of Wife Tahira's Cancer Diagnosis On His Birthday. This Was How He Reacted

    Ayushmann has had the best year of his career in 2018 with two mega hits like Badhaai Ho and AndhaDhun at the box office while the year was equally difficult for him personally as his wife Tahira Kashyap was diagnosed with breast cancer. Ayushmann has now finally come out and spoken about how the diagnosis changed their lives and how bravely Tahira fought the battle with cancer. In a startling interview, the actor revealed that they actually found out about Tahira’s disease on his birthday.

    It is understandable that it must have been a difficult news to take in and in an interview with Rajeev Masand Ayushmann spoke about what went through his head on hearing it. "It was very difficult. In fact, thanks to her that she was brave enough to take that positively otherwise I would have broken, completely. Because I was in the middle of two films I was promoting AndhaDhun and Badhaai Ho. And we got to know about this on my birthday. In fact, we saw Manmarziyaan that day... we saw Manmarziyaan on September 14 and we got to know of this disease."


    He even went on to share Tahira’s reaction to the diagnosis and how she refused to give in or bow down. According to the actor, Tahira said, “'I want to just celebrate my life. I'll take it head on and we are together in this both fighting the disease and also in promoting the films.' So, it was a collective effort from both sides. But I am glad she's overcome this and as we speak she's giving a lecture on cancer, how to fight, how to combat it. She's a leader now to cancer patients and an inspiration."

    The news certainly shook the fans and well-wishers when Tahira announced the news on Instagram but were also inspired by how bravely she battled cancer. The bad phase has now passed for the couple and they have certainly come out stronger with Ayushmann prepping for his next film Dream Girl opposite Nusrat Barucha.  The film will hit the theatres on 13 September.
