On the work front, Tahira is currently working hard to make her directorial debut.
Ayushmann Khurrana's wife Tahira Kashyap was diagnosed with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in her right breast with high-grade malignant cells, in September 2018. The Braveheart took the challenge head-on and has been empowering others as well, on her journey. Today, she took to her Instagram page once again, to share a glimpse of her battle with cancer, with pictures and a heartfelt note. In a series of pictures, she gave us a glimpse of how her hair was affected by chemotherapy over the months. From evidently missing strands of hair on the head to Tahira rocking a cap to conceal it, the post is quite graphic. She added a warning, "Before you swipe left, some pictures might not go down too well with your palette."

Tahira further adds, "I am hoping there is a change in the perception of that one perfect flavour that we have always had. The last couple of months have been an extreme case of metamorphosis for me," 'Perfect Couple' Ayushmann Khurrana and Tahira Kashyap Had Their Share of Lows Too; Find Out Here.
She then talks about how her battle with cancer changed her notion of beauty. She says, "I feel I have undergone a tremendous change mentally and physically too. From my obsession with long hair, associating beauty with rapunzel tresses, and hiding most of the time behind my hair (as I felt secure , lest my crooked nose, or freckles or pimples or simply not so chiseled face isn’t exposed) to losing my hair, wearing extensions and a cap, going bald to now a short crop. I am enjoying every phase because somehow with hair I lost my insecurity, my stupid notion of beauty and my complexes,"
