AgenciesDipika Kakar, one of Indian television’s most beloved faces, has shown remarkable strength as she recovers from stage 2 liver cancer surgery. In a heartfelt new vlog, her husband, actor Shoaib Ibrahim, shared an emotional health update that has struck a chord with fans across the country. The video, released on his YouTube channel, gives an intimate glimpse into the actress’s journey from post-operative pain to smiling moments with their son Ruhaan. Shoaib, who has been updating well-wishers since Dipika’s diagnosis, said, “Kaafi better hai… ab chalna firna start ho gaya hai… normal diet pe aa gayi hai”—assuring viewers that Dipika is now walking again, back on a normal diet, and doing much better overall.
Opening up about the critical recovery days, Shoaib revealed that Dipika had difficulty sleeping post-surgery and endured significant pain, especially after developing a severe cough. The pain from her stitches, he said, intensified with every cough and made her nights uneasy—until April 8, when she finally had a peaceful night’s sleep.
A particularly emotional moment was Shoaib recounting Dipika’s fear inside the ICU. “Naak mei ek tube bhi hota hai… usko lekar panic kar rahi thi,” he shared, narrating how the presence of a nasal tube made her anxious, thinking she would remain in the ICU for days. But thankfully, she recovered swiftly enough to return home soon after.
The vlog also revealed how emotionally taxing the week had been for the family—not just due to Dipika’s surgery but because Shoaib’s brother Rehaan was hospitalized at the same time. Balancing both situations was overwhelming, Shoaib confessed, calling it a “heavy 8-10 days.” Their infant son, Ruhaan, was only allowed brief visits to keep the environment calm.
Still, amidst it all, Shoaib expressed heartfelt gratitude. “Tumor nikla hai,” he confirmed, saying that although the tumor was removed, further tests remain to ensure everything is truly behind them. “Yeh khabar jab se mili hai… sab kuch badal gaya,” he said, capturing the emotional turmoil and the strength needed to face such a challenge.Toward the end of the vlog, Dipika herself made a quiet appearance, sitting beside Ruhaan and thanking fans for their relentless prayers. Though visibly tired, her smile radiated relief and resilience. Watching her play with her son again was a moment of quiet triumph for the couple, whose love and strength have carried them through these testing times.
