<p class="title">Actor Ayushmann Khurrana's wife Tahira Kashyap has revealed that she was diagnosed with "stage 0" breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy procedure.</p>.<p class="bodytext">In an optimistic Instagram post, Tahira said she was "detected with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in my right breast with high-grade malignant cells".</p>.<p class="bodytext">"Simply put stage 0 cancer/ pre-cancerous stage, with cancer cells multiplying in a contained area. The result I have become a half Indian version of Angelina Jolie (since only one breast was involved)! I told my doctor now is the time to give some competition to the Kardashians since Pamela is passé. But no one listened to me, so now I have a portion of my back tissue in my breast. Perhaps now I can do chin-ups with my breasts!" she wrote.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Ayushmann said that Tahira is doing well and has been discharged after the surgery.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"Today is the good day as she is discharged now. We got the shocker. I am glad the surgery happened and was successful. She is a fighter. The last four days I was in the hospital," the actor told PTI.</p>.<p class="bodytext">In the post, Tahira said that the diagnosis has given her a "new definition of life".</p>.<p class="bodytext">"Respect it's unpredictability and have the faith and courage to be the hero of your own drama of life. The invincible human spirit is God-like, gives you the courage to endure and the will to revive. There is nothing that human spirit can't do," she said.</p>.<p class="bodytext">She also urged women not to take any kind of symptoms lightly and should immediately consult a doctor if they feel something is wrong.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"Also I want women of all ages to be aware. I am 35, and I was returned twice over from a mammogram. If any symptoms come up, think of it as a protective force and get yourselves examined.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"This mastectomy has left me with even more self-love! Big, small, left or right inclined, gravity pulling or defying, or even none, each breast the presence or lack of it has a story to tell. Mine has made me a 2.0 version of myself! This post is dedicated to awareness, self-love and resilience of a warrior that I know each one of us possesses #breastcancerawareness #selflove #determination #faith #bodhisattva #bodhisattvaoftheearth" Tahira wrote. </p>
