Ayushmann Khurrana's wife Tahira Kashyap revels her Me Too story : ‘Relatives are the real creeps’
#MeToo movement has finally gained momentum in India. Many film celebs have under the scanner and have been accused of sexual harassment. But according to Ayushamann Khurrana's wife Tahira Kashyap #MeToo movement is not only for those with popular faces it is also for those who are not famous. In a long post, she reveals her #MeToo moment which she faced as a kid at the hands of a relative. She says, "Often the closest people especially the relatives in your life (those whom everyone trusts) are the real creeps."
She reveals how scared she was of a physical touch when she first started dating her boyfriend (now husband Ayushmann Khurrana). It was Ayushmann's patience and love that healed her. She went on to say that even after the birth of their first child "the memories of the torment still haunted me." She faced the ordeal for almost 20 years until she opened up about it to her husband and parents.
Talking about the #MeToo movement, she says, "When I see men giving a big push to this movement, I know the battle isn't lost. I plead to all women to come forth and communicate, have a dialogue and express. " Sharing the note, she captioned, "My #MeToo moment... wish I didn’t have one and neither did anyone. But glad we are speaking about it. Let’s have zero tolerance towards it. And let’s not question how long the victim took to speak. It took me around 20 years. Will it be held against me? #metoomovement#metoo #comeout #loveyourself#expressyourself #zerotolerance"
Recently 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".
