Sharmajee Ki Beti director Tahira Kashyap recalls getting ‘worked up’ on being referred to as Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife

As a lifestyle expert and someone who values self-growth and personal identity, I can completely relate to Tahira Kashyap’s feelings of being defined by her relationship to her husband Ayushmann Khurrana in professional reviews. When I read about her experiences, I couldn’t help but reflect on my own journey.


I’m thrilled to share that my dear husband, actor Aayushmann Khurrana, and I, author-filmmaker Tahira Kashyap, have recently brought a new project to life. Our latest film, Sharmajee Ki Beti, has just been released and I’m proud to be its director! This heartwarming story, brilliantly portrayed by the talented Sakshi Tanwar, Divya Dutta, and Saiyami Kher, is a celebration of womanhood.

Tahira recently opened up about being referred to as Ayushmann‘s wife in her film reviews.

Tahira Kashyap says she would get bothered for being called Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife

In an interview with Midday, Tahira Kashyap playfully dismissed comments from certain critics who referred to her as Ayushmann Khurrana’s spouse in their reviews of “Sharmajee Ki Beti.”

Tahira shared, “People have referred to me as the wife of Ayushman and the filmmaker, Tahira. This used to annoy me in the past. I’m more than just being Ayushman’s spouse or Mrs. Khurrana. I am Tahira Kashyap, an individual with my unique identity.”

The director explained that in the past, she would become agitated, which was simply a part of her personal growth process.

The filmmaker expressed that due to my current uncertainty about myself, I require an exceptional level of self-assurance, making me unaffected by how a stranger addresses me.

Tahira added that the incorrect prefix doesn’t diminish the director’s identity, and she shouldn’t let it affect her self-confidence negatively.

Tahira Kashyap says now she feels proud when people call her his spouse

I’ve been on a journey of self-growth, and now when people refer to me as Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife, I can’t help but feel an immense sense of pride. It’s a title I cherish deeply.

I became so deeply involved in that project that at one point, people started referring to me as Ayushman’s wife, Viraj’s father, or Varushka’s mother. Hearing those titles gave me a sense of pride because these are the connections I care deeply about and have always supported wholeheartedly.

Tahira emphasized that her family holds a significant place in her heart and is thriving. The documentary maker rounded off the interview by revealing that she is comfortable being referred to as someone’s kin.
