Ayushmann Khurrana is among the most sought after actors in Bollywood who has worked with the likes of many popular female stars but his best Jodi is still the one he shared with his wife, Tahira Kashyap. The couple celebrates their wedding anniversary today so today we look at their love story which is no short than a Bollywood romantic movie.
For those of you who don't know, Ayushmann and Tahira met at physics tuition when they were still at school in Chandigarh. Tahira wrote about her love story with Ayushmann,” Both of us attended the same Physics tuition class when we were in the 12th standard. It was a batch of around 60 students and when I first met Ayushmann I thought his name was Abhishek. Both I and my friend had a crush on him but outwardly ignored him throughout the year. I later discovered that he also had a crush on me. One entire year went by without either of us talking to each other and that’s how it would have remained if our story hadn’t taken a filmi twist,”
Tahira’s father one day took the family to meet his astrologer friend. However, the astrologer turned out to be Ayushmann’s father. After this coincidence, Ayushmann sang a song for Tahira and their love story began.
But it wasn't all love and fairytale for the couple, the couple had hit a rough spot for three years when the actor debuted in movies and Tahira admitted that she was jealous and insecure of his on-screen romances and kissing. Talking about how she couldn’t deal with it, she said, “I had given up many times but he did not. He didn’t use to give up but he also didn’t makeup."
Tahira was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018 which changed their relationship and now they are stronger than ever.
Now, the Vicky Donor actor claimed that his wife was her best friend and that's why they are a great couple. “Shah Rukh Khan had once said ‘Pyaar Dosti hai’ and I believe that. Tahira and I have been great friends since Class 12. So that dosti evolved into a relationship and finally culminated into marriage. You discover each other emotionally and physically but if you are not friends, it won’t survive for too long,” he said.
