Ayushmann Khurrana and Tahira Kashyap tied the knot with each other in 2008 after dating each other for a while. Tahira was the one who managed their home after moving to Mumbai as Ayushmann was trying his luck in the industry. Tahira recently opened up about their initial days together and how long she had to shoulder their expenses.Tahira Kashyap about managing money
In a recent interview with Official People of India, Tahira shared that Ayushmann was just starting his journey as a VJ when they moved to Mumbai. “I had spent some money on my wedding but I had my own savings. But, I didn’t have a job in Mumbai. We had just gotten married and I was still applying for jobs,” Tahira revealed. But she didn’t expect that her savings would soon be exhausted even if she was financially independent at that time.“This boy did not understand how we were getting the food, like how we were buying all of these vegetables, fruits. My bank balance was depleting. I had never asked anyone for money, even my parents. I had always been financially independent but now everything went for a toss because it had been a year and my bank balance was zero,” she added.Tahira Kashyap says Ayushmann Khurrana did not notice her sacrifice initiallyTahira recounted a moment that brought their financial imbalance to the surface. One day, Ayushmann casually asked her why she had not been eating mangoes, unaware that she had been skipping them for two days so he could enjoy them. The question deeply upset her, and she broke down in tears, revealing that she had been solely managing all household expenses from her personal savings, which had now completely run out. When Ayushmann expressed surprise and asked why she hadn’t asked him for money, she explained that she couldn’t bring herself to do so and expected him to share the responsibility of running the household with her. This moment made him realise the burden she had silently been carrying for months.
