Tahira Kashyap, director of critically-acclaimed film Toffee, is battling breast cancer and after recently going bald, she posted a couple of pictures of herself on social media and said that it's "liberating." On Instagram, she wrote: "That's a new me with the old self! Was getting tired of the extensions. So, this is how it is and it's so liberating in every sense of the word. So much so that I don't have to duck the shower while bathing or while picking up the soap! I never thought I would go bald, was stretching my time with the good ol' cap for too long. But this feels so good." Tahira's post has several likes, motivational comments and many compliments. The best comment is from her husband Ayushmann Khurrana. He wrote: "Hottie" with a heart emoticon.
