In 2018, Ayushmann Khurrana's wife, film director Tahira Kashyap, braved a stage 0 breast cancer diagnosis and underwent a mastectomy to beat the disease. In an Instagram post at the time, she wrote, “I was diagnosed with DCIS (intraductal carcinoma) in my right breast, which is highly malignant cells. Simply put, it's stage 0 cancer/pre-cancerous stage where cancer cells grow in a limited area. As a result, I have become a half-Indian Angelina Jolie (as only one breast was affected). I told my doctor that Pamela is outdated and now it's time to compete with the Kardashians.” (Instagram/Tahira Kashyap)
