Dipika Kakar has been released from the hospital following a 14-hour surgery for liver cancer. Her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, has been providing updates on her health since the diagnosis of stage two liver cancer. Shoaib shared that the past several days have been challenging, but the surgery was successful.
In a YouTube vlog, Shoaib stated, “She was discharged after 11 days and has come for a check-up. These past few days have been incredibly difficult for me and my family, but we are thankful for everyone’s prayers and support. This is just one part; a lot of things are still ahead. Everything is fine right now, but we’ve only crossed one milestone. There are still many things ahead that we have to look into. As the doctors guide us, we’ll keep following that. But the major part — the surgery — went well. Dipika is also recovering well. Yes, there are still a lot of things pending that need to be done. Hopefully, those will also go well.”
Further discussing Dipika’s health, Shoaib mentioned, “Everything is fine, but we’ll have to keep coming back for follow-ups because the tumour was malignant. That situation has to be monitored. Also, they’ve asked us to come back in a week. After that, they’ll decide what further treatment is needed — whether something needs to be done or not. For now, we’re taking it one step at a time”. Dipika expressed her gratitude to her fans for their constant love and support during this difficult time, acknowledging their prayers and the kindness of hospital staff and fellow patients.
Dipika and Shoaib Ibrahim married in 2018 and have a son named Ruhaan.
