Cancer! The word itself gives me jitters. But Ayushmann Khurrana and Tahira Kashyap's attitude about this disease has changed my outlook towards life.
It's been a little while when Tahira was diagnosed with breast cancer and she took to it to Instagram to share the news with a heartfelt post.
Instead of getting frightened, they chose to deal with it in a mature way.
Ayushmann got the heart-breaking news on his birthday
During his recent-interview with Mid-Day, Ayushmann revealed that they got to know about her disease on his birthday.
But instead of crying, they went on to watch 'Manmarziyaan'.
Ayushmann-Tahira's mantra was to deal with it with a happy state.
"We told ourselves, 'Okay, we've been diagnosed. We can't go home and cry about it. It's better to go for a film'," he said.
The idea was to celebrate the silver lining
Indeed, Ayushmann-Tahira's reaction to cancer diagnosis may sound weird to many people.
But Ayushmann feels there was a silver lining to the dark cloud. He thought it was time to celebrate the early detection of the disease, which can prove pivotal.
"I went without sleep for seven days. But, we had promised ourselves that we'd maintain a positive attitude," he added.
Aayushmann made sure to be with his warrior princess
It was a tough time for Ayushmann emotionally. But he made sure to stay strong and fight the big C with Tahira.
While Tahira bravely shared the post about her disease last week, Ayushmann reposted it and wrote, "Last 7 days have been tough but we have decided to have a happy life state & fight this challenge. I'm proud of my warrior princess."
