Writer and wife of Ayushmann Khurrana, Tahira Kashyap, took to Instagram on Monday, February 4 World Cancer Day to share a picture of herself wearing a mastectomy scar like a badge of honour. An inspiring picture for all, the cancer stricken, survivors, caretakers and ordinary people.

Along with the picture, Tahira wrote a note urging people to remove the stigma and taboo associated with cancer. Her aim was to spread awareness about the illness and have self-love no matter what. It is heartening that a victim made herself and her body into a canvas on which one could spread the message about cancer.
