Shah Rukh Khan: Tahira Kashyap made me realise its okay to share problems

Ever since author and filmmaker Tahira Kashyap opened up about her cancer battle, she has been an inspiration for everyone out there. Tahira not just opened up about her breast cancer diagnosis but also shared pictures of her scars, which is quite a brave thing to do. It was last year when Tahira shared about her diagnosis on her social media handle. She was detected with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in her right breast.

Recently, Shah Rukh Khan, who is hosting the second season of TED Talks India Nayi Baat, revealed how Tahira made him realise that it is okay to share one’s problem.

Tahira also appeared on Shah Rukh’s show where she spoke about h0w she faced the cancel battle and decided to share her story which may inspire other people to face similar situations. Tahira also shared how she changed her son’s perception of beauty when she decided to sport a bald look.

She’s redefining the meaning of beauty.

After hearing Tahira’s story, Shah Rukh said, “I lost both my parents to cancer. I do not like to show off my problems but Tahira made me realise that it is okay to share. I feel it is necessary to remove the taboo that we need to hide our problems. Instead, come together with your family and figure out a solution.”
