She also acknowledged the coincidence of the diagnosis being revealed on World Health Day, emphasizing the importance of self-care and gratitude.
A Resilient Voice in the Face of Adversity

She penned her journey in books like “The 12 Commandments of Being a Woman” and has inspired many with her candid interviews and social media updates.
Ayushmann Khurrana Yet to Comment
Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, known for his progressive roles and support of women-centric narratives, has not yet made a public statement on the diagnosis. However, the couple has always stood strong together, with Ayushmann previously calling Tahira the “biggest warrior” in his life during her first cancer battle.

The Importance of Regular Screening
