Tahira Kashyap’s breast cancer relapses after 7 years; “Round 2 for me”

Filmmaker Tahira Kashyap has been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time after seven years. Taking to Instagram, Tahira shared that, ironically, on World Health Day, her breast cancer has relapsed. She first braved the situation in 2018 and has been vocal about her fight against cancer. Now, as life throws it once again at her, Tahira is ready to face it.

Sharing the news on Instagram Tahira Kashyap wrote, “Seven-year itch or the power of regular screening- it’s a perspective, I had like to go with the latter and suggest the same for everyone who needs to get regular mammograms. Round 2 for me…I still got this.” In the caption, she penned, “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.”
