Popular television actress Dipika Kakar has been diagnosed with a tumour in her liver. Her husband, actor Shoaib Ibrahim, revealed the news in his latest vlog, asking fans to pray for her recovery.
Dipika had been experiencing severe stomach pain for several days. Initially, doctors suspected an infection and prescribed antibiotics. However, when the pain persisted, she underwent medical tests, including a CT scan. The results were shocking—a tumour the size of a tennis ball was found on the left side of her liver.
Shoaib explained the sequence of events in his YouTube video titled Need Your Prayers. He mentioned that Dipika’s discomfort began when he was in Chandigarh. At first, Dipika and Shoaib assumed it was acidity, but after consulting their family doctor, she was prescribed antibiotics and underwent a blood test. By May 5, she seemed better. However, after celebrating her father-in-law’s birthday, the pain returned. A follow-up consultation and CT scan confirmed the presence of the tumour.
Doctors advised immediate hospitalization for further tests of Dipika. While initial reports suggest the tumour is not cancerous, they are awaiting additional results to determine the next steps. Surgery may be necessary, depending on medical recommendations.
Shoaib urged fans to pray for Dipika during this difficult time. He assured them that she is receiving the best care and staying strong.
Dipika Kakar is widely known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka. She married Shoaib Ibrahim in 2018, and the couple welcomed their son, Ruhaan, on June 21, 2023.
