Talking to Pinkvilla, she spoke about their making out chronicles. “We were in college and these were the days of single theatres. There was this theatre opposite our college called Nirmaan. Chandigarh is a small city and you don’t get places to make out. So ’s movie Asoka was playing and I used to bunk my college at times and we used to see this film. First time of course, we watched it very intently as we both are fans but after that we saw it 11 times and we were very busy (making out).” Also Read - Ayushmann Khurrana reveals his success mantra; says, ‘I decided to swim against the tide and it worked’
When asked about Ayushmann’s reaction to the book and such stories, Tahira said, “Ayushmann is my bouncing board. He’s the first person to read. But this around, it’s also about his family and him. So I think his reaction was divided between being intrigued and shocked. He thought this was supposed to be between us and our family. I was like it did make sense to me at that time and I wanted to write about it. So the best part is that we do not hold each other back. We have our own opinions. There are still some topics he didn’t want me to discuss. But he never told me to withhold anything.” Also Read - Mirzapur 2 actor Priyanshu Painyuli to tie the knot with longtime girlfriend, actor-dancer Vandana Joshi
Tahira also said that Ayushmann’s on screen intimate scenes really affected her. She said, “Vicky Donor se shuru ho gaya tha. I was at home, I was pregnant and looking like a whale. I had gained 20 kilos and every woman goes through the journey. But I kept thinking that I'm looking like this, and my husband is romancing on screen. My reactions were immature but I don't regret that at all. Yes, I did have these insecurities. It didn't finish off there. It went on to , where he recorded the longest kiss on screen. It was all out in the press and it got to me.'
