When mid-day online reached out to Ayushmann to understand how he is balancing this phase. The VJ-turned-actor said, "Last week has been very difficult because I got to know about it (Tahira's illness) on my birthday. I've been spending time in the hospital with her on my birthday. Thankfully, today she got discharged and that is why she posted about it on Instagram. So, it was kind of a relief for us, and her surgery was successful. So, that's why I am more chirpy today, and it's a happy day."
