In 2018, Tahira revealed that she has been diagnosed with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in her right breast. 

Earlier during an interaction with IANS, Tahira had opened up on the taboo about cancer and how people’s perceptions are about the disease. She said, “No one in my immediate environment judged me. Of course, I was also asked by a couple of my close relatives… they said that the news should remain within the confines of a family circle. I thought that maybe that’s the right protocol. On the other hand, my doctor told me about so many cases… women who despite getting a few symptoms refuse to get themselves examined because of so much humiliation associated with it. Some even feel guilty.”

Kashyap also said, “My basic has always been… creating awareness about early breast cancer detection and self-love. If you are suffering from cancer, do not let it define you. You are bigger than the disease. Be the stronger person that you always have been. I wanted to remove the stigma and taboo associated with cancer. No matter what life throws at you, take it in your stride and have immense love for yourself because it is you who are putting up the fight and you are no less than a warrior.”
