Following a 14-hour surgery to treat her liver cancer, Dipika Kakar has been discharged from the hospital. Her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, shared an update on her health, acknowledging the difficulties faced since her stage two cancer diagnosis. According to Shoaib, the surgery went well.
“She got 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,” Shoaib stated in a YouTube vlog.
He further added, “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 heartfelt thanks for the prayers and support she received, appreciating the kindness and encouragement from everyone during her treatment.
Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim, who married in 2018, are parents to a son named Ruhaan.
