In
her
recent
tete-a-tete
with
an
entertainment
portal,
actor
Ayushmann
Khurrana's
wife
Tahira
Kashyap
recalled
her
battle
with
anxiety
attacks
and
sadness.
She
told
Cosmopolitan
India,
"I
was
battling
a
lot
of
anxiety
attacks
and
sadness,
but
since
I
never
sought
medical
help,
I
don't
call
it
depression.
However,
it
most
certainly
was
that.
You
don't
just
go
through
endless
anxiety
attacks
or
get
used
to
crying
for
five
to
six
hours
every
single
day.
The
first
thing
one
should
do
in
a
similar
situation
is
to
seek
help.
Sadly,
I
didn't
do
that."
Tahira
further
added
that
she
discovered
'Nichiren
Buddhism'
and
worked
on
herself.
She
said,
"I
worked
towards
becoming
someone
who
appreciates
and
loves
herself,
because
the
longest
relationship
you
will
have
with
someone
is
yourself,
not
your
parents,
spouse,
or
children.
For
the
rest
of
your
life,
it's
going
to
be
you,
your
body,
your
mind,
and
your
soul-
how
can
you
be
disconnected
from
it?"
On
a
related
note,
Tahira
recently
launched
her
book
'The
12
Commandments
of
Being
a
Woman',
which
is
filled
with
outrageously
candid
revelations.
Earlier,
while
speaking
to
a
media
portal,
when
Tahira
was
asked
how
she
made
up
her
mind
to
become
an
author,
she
had
said,
"I've
been
writing
since
I
was
five
or
six.
I
wrote
the
first
play,
Socha
Na
Tha,
that
our
theatre
group
Manch
Tantra
performed.
I
also
wrote
a
book
[Cracking
The
Code:
My
Journey
in
Bollywood]
with
Ayushmann
a
few
years
ago."
'The
12
Commandments
of
Being
a
Woman'
is
Tahira's
third
book
that
she
has
written
on
her
own,
and
her
book
was
lauded
by
stars
like
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Twinkle
Khanna,
Varun
Dhawan,
Vidya
Balan,
etc.
