Tahira says, "It is an absolute delight to share a stage with Dr. Waldinger and Varun. I did have breast cancer. But I cannot say that my problem is bigger than someone who's having a financial problem or a relationship problem. Problems aren't bigger or smaller, it all depends upon one's life state. If a person's life state is strong, they can brave any situation. I also practice Nichiren-Buddhism where the significance of each life is given a lot of prominence. Of course, we cannot brush the problem under the carpet but we can deal with it in a positive manner with a change of perspective."

India's first paraplegic DJ, Varun Khullar, further added, "When I met with an accident, I used to question, 'Why me?' But once I accepted everything, things changed." Dr. Robert Waldinger further added, "We wrongly consider aging as a process of decline but as we grow older, we get better at doing things."

It is breast cancer awareness month and Tahira Kashyap Khurrana has always championed awareness regarding early detection and continues to emancipate women all around the world to speak up, share and own their journeys.

On the work front, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana has also recently completed directing her first feature film Sharmajee Ki Beti.
