Tahira Kashyap recently shared a candid insight into her early married life with Ayushmann Khurrana. She revealed that shortly after tying the knot in 2008, she found herself solely managing their household expenses from her savings. Moving to Mumbai without a job, Tahira used her personal funds to buy groceries for months, completely depleting her savings without Ayushmann noticing.
The emotional turning point came when Ayushmann, unaware of her situation, casually asked why she hadn’t bought mangoes. That question triggered a breakdown for Tahira, who realized she hadn’t eaten for days so Ayushmann could enjoy fruits. Through tears, she told him her bank balance had reached zero after nearly a year and that she had been silently handling all household expenses.
This moment of vulnerability became a catalyst for awareness. Ayushmann, by then working as a VJ, finally grasped the financial strain Tahira was under. He asked why she hadn’t asked him for help, to which she replied, “Because you’re supposed to share the grocery responsibilities with me.” This candid exchange reflects her strength and independence, as well as the couple’s journey through hardship and mutual support.
In essence, Tahira’s story highlights both financial struggle and emotional resilience in their early years together. It offers a deeper glimpse into their partnership, rooted in teamwork, understanding, and eventual harmony as Ayushmann’s career progressed.
