In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, Soha Ali Khan made a shocking revelation about her mother Sharmila Tagore and said, ‘With my mother, she was one of the very few people to be diagnosed with lung cancer at stage zero, and no chemotherapy, nothing. It was cut out of her and she is, touchwood, fine.’ Dr Srinath, senior oncologist and founder at Asha Hospitals and Research Centre, says in a statement as per The Indian Express, “Stage zero lung cancer, also known as carcinoma in situ, refers to a very early form of the disease where abnormal cells are found only in the top layers of the lung tissue and have not spread deeper or to other areas.

It is not invasive at this point, which makes it the most treatable stage of cancer.” Sharmila Tagore had recently broken her silence on BCCI retiring the Pataudi Trophy named after Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi while speaking to Hindustan Times. The veteran actress said, “If the BCCI wants to or does not want to remember Tiger’s legacy, it is for them to decide.



” Sharmila Tagore was married to ace cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and in an interview with Simi Grewal on her talk show, she spoke about her inter-faith marriage. The actress had embraced Islam, adopted the name Ayesha. Tagore said, “It wasn’t easy nor was it very difficult.

It had to be faced and understood. You couldn’t be very flippant about it. Before that, I wasn’t terribly religious.

Now, I think I know more about Hinduism and Islam.” When asked about her name Ayesha, Mansoor said that he suggested the name..
