Dipika Kakar, a beloved television actress, is facing one of the toughest battles of her life. Just a few days ago, her husband, actor Shoaib Ibrahim, revealed that she had been diagnosed with a tennis ball-sized tumor in her liver. Initially, the couple hoped for a benign diagnosis. However, further tests confirmed that the tumor was cancerous and had progressed to stage two.
The discovery of Dipika’s illness happened unexpectedly. She had recently made a television comeback with Celebrity MasterChef India. But due to a shoulder injury, she had to leave the show midway. Soon after, while on vacation in Kashmir and Delhi, she started experiencing stomach pain. What initially seemed like a minor issue turned out to be something far more serious—a tumor.
Doctors later confirmed that she was battling stage two liver cancer. While this news was devastating, Dipika chose to remain strong. She shared her fears in a vlog alongside her husband. She admitted, “Even the word ‘cancer’ is scary—for the patient and the family. It affects you mentally, but we are staying strong.” Despite her fears, she assured everyone that she would fight and come out stronger.
Today, Dipika is undergoing surgery to remove the tumor. Shoaib, deeply concerned, took to Instagram last night to ask fans for prayers. In his emotional message, he wrote, “Dippi’s surgery is scheduled to happen tomorrow morning. It’s going to be a long surgery… she needs all your prayers and strength.”
He was not alone in his concern. Their son, Ruhaan, has sensed that something is wrong. In the same vlog, Dipika revealed that Ruhaan understood she was unwell. She shared, “He comes to me once or twice a day, but then he realizes that mumma isn’t well. But yes, we have everyone around, and we are staying strong.”
Dipika’s fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with messages of support. Many have expressed their admiration for her courage and strength. Others have sent heartfelt prayers, hoping she recovers soon.
Despite her struggles, Dipika remains positive. She has assured her fans that she will fight and emerge victorious. As she undergoes surgery, the entertainment industry and her loved ones continue to stand by her side.
While the journey ahead may be tough, there is hope. The doctors are confident that Dipika’s condition can be completely cured. Moreover, Shoaib, Ruhaan, and her family remain by her side, offering unwavering support.
