Tahira Kashyap says she would get bothered for being called Ayushmann Khurrana's wife
During a recent interview with Midday, Tahira Kashyap laughed off at a section of critics who called her Ayushmann Khurrana's wife in the reviews of Sharmajee Ki Beti.
Sharmajee Ki Beti director said that she has been addressed as Ayushman's wife, Tahira, in her reviews of the film. The filmmaker said that she would get bothered by it earlier.
"I was like, why can't people see for the person that I am? I'm Tahira. I'm Tahira Kashyap, and I'm not Tahira Khurrana or Mrs. Khurrana," she recalled.
The director added that earlier she used to get "worked up" and then it was a part of "self-evolution".
The filmmaker shared that this feeling was there because she was "not sure of herself." The director added that she needed surety to the extent that if a random person addresses her in any other way, it does not affect her.
Tahira further said that the wrong prefix "doesn't define" the director and that it should not make her "feel bad" about herself.
