Mumbai, Apr 24: As she navigates treatment for a second breast cancer relapse, author and filmmaker Tahira?Kashyap has returned to work with renewed vigor, proudly dubbing herself “Tahira 3.0.” Sharing a candid life update on Instagram, she thanked the universe and God for the challenges that have shaped her, writing from behind her laptop:

“Interval INT/EXT DAY UNIVERSE. After a brief interim this woman in question holds her laptop to write another script one more time. With gratitude in her heart, prayer on her lips and a smile beaming through her eyes she mumbles—‘Me: Thank you universe, thank you God for all the challenges and all the blessings.’ Had it not been for these obstacles, I wouldn’t have acknowledged your love. Thank you for giving me another opportunity to become a better version of myself. And so here’s to Tahira?3.0! Back to the grind, back to the hustle, back to life, and so glad to be back at work! Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost :) TO BE CONTD….”

Her husband, actor Ayushmann?Khurrana, responded with a simple red-heart emoji, while friends and colleagues—Aparshakti?Khurana, Nakuul?Mehta, Saiyami?Kher, Bhumi?Pednekar and others—flooded the post with similar symbols of love and support.

Tahira first shared news of her relapse on April?7, urging everyone to keep up with regular mammograms. “Seven year itch or the power of regular screening—it’s a perspective I choose,” she wrote. “Round?2 for me… I still got this. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life becomes too generous and throws them again at you, you squeeze them calmly into your favorite kala khatta drink and sip it with all the good intentions.”

Originally diagnosed in 2018 with stage-zero breast cancer, Tahira’s unwavering optimism and creative spirit continue to uplift those who follow her journey. As she embraces “Version?3.0,” she reminds us all that every obstacle can fuel our evolution—and that the story is far from over.
