On Friday, Tahira took to Instagram to share a moment that was both touching and unintentionally hilarious. Just as she prepared for scanning and imaging, her doctor tried to set a lighter mood with a musical touch—Shah Rukh Khan’s emotional anthem Kal Ho Naa Ho . “As I entered the scanning and imaging area, the doc there perhaps in his attempt to make the mood lighter had his playlist on,” she wrote.
But the timing was anything but comforting. “This was the song that was playing as I lay down ready to be taken inside! I gulped and said, ‘Sir I appreciate your gesture but pls isse toh band hi kardo!’” Post-procedure, Tahira got back on her feet, literally, when her doctor asked her to take a few rounds of the hospital corridor. What she didn’t expect was an unexpected dose of entertainment, courtesy of another patient.
“Little did I know that I would be privy to other patients’ choice of consuming news,” she shared. With her room door ajar, a 70-year-old woman was fully invested in an actor’s love life and the reveal of a recent relationship. Moments later, Tahira spotted the same woman stumbling out of her room—and speeding past her.
“I can swear I heard her saying ‘Agar yeh itna dangal macha sakte hain toh main kyon nahi!’” Tahira wrote, laughing at the determination. “I always knew the power of cinema both on and off the screen!” Earlier, on April 7, Tahira revealed her cancer had returned. Choosing perspective over panic, she wrote: “Seven-year itch or the power of regular screening—I’d 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.” Tahira, who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018, recently shared an inspiring photo of her clean-shaven head post-chemotherapy. Married to actor Ayushmann Khurrana, the couple shares two children—a son and a daughter.
