Tahira confessed that she got insecure when she saw an intimate scene between Ayushmann and Yami Gautam in "Vicky Donor".

"Yeah, I was insecure earlier but when I was watching the edits of 'Andhadhun', I told the team that something is missing in the make out scene between Ayushmann and Radhika Apte. That moment I realised about the transformation, from being an insecure wife to analysing the make out scenes," Tahira said.

Talking about her own identity, she said: "I know Ayushmann for 18 years and I take pride in being called as Ayushmann's wife. As far as my identity is concerned, the world has been really receptive towards the message I have of self-acceptance. People have started to accept me for who I am and my presence, opinion and existence."

She says Ayushmann is "an introvert and likes to keep calm around 10 people. He doesn't like to talk much as he is a good listener".

After her battle with cancer, Tahira said she has become a "lot crazier in the 2.0 version of myself. There is a lot of self-acceptance and I feel beautiful inside out. I have become stronger".

"Cancer is something which people should accept openly and an experience like this helps you look at life through a different prism," she added.

Recalling her children's reaction through the process, she said: "At first, Virajveer was devastated and crushed while on the other hand Varushka was intrigued with the process and the look".

Asked if it was easy to sport a bald look, Tahira said: "It was difficult for my kids to accept my new look because people have created a stereotype of beauty."

Tahira opened up about various aspects of her life when she appeared in an episode of "The Love, Laugh, Live Show", which is aired on Romedy Now.
