Dipika Kakar, a household name in the Indian television industry, who rose to fame with her portrayal of 'Simar' in Sasural Simar Ka, left her fans heartbroken when it was revealed that she had been diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer earlier this year. The news came as a complete shock, especially as she had recently become a mother to her son, Ruhaan. But through the storm, her husband and actor, Shoaib Ibrahim, stood like a rock beside her, updating fans regularly through his YouTube vlogs. The actor shared the recent development and updates on Dipika's health, and this is what he has to say.
Shoaib, in his recent vlog disclosed that Dipika's surgical stitches have been removed and she's due to start her next phase of treatment soon. He cautioned that further treatment depends upon how her body reacts to the new procedure and it will shape the entire therapy regimen. Dipika admitted she feels fatigued, which is understandable after a "tennis-ball-sized" segment of her liver was excised due to cancer. Still, the doctors assured them that fatigue was a normal side effect.
In the same vlog Dipika and Shoaib were seen enjoying a shopping day. They chose rainy shoes for Ruhaan and adorable baby clothes for their nephew, Haider (Shoaib's sister, Saba's son). They even paused at a restaurant where Dipika savoured tea and khakra, and Shoaib treated himself to a strawberry milkshake. The outing, the couple said, was a much-needed break from the emotional strain of her healthcare journey.
Despite lingering exhaustion and treatments, Dipika has resumed working on her clothing brand, DKI, reclaiming a sense of purpose and normalcy. She explained to Shoaib that cooking and small household chores calm and comfort her, but Shoaib insists she focus on rest and joy. Their shared goal for now is her physical and emotional well-being.
The past few months have tested the couple like never before, but it has also reaffirmed their bond. Fans have showered them with love and support. Their recent vlog has already garnered over 1.4 million views and is inundated with positive comments. A user said, 'I will pray Dipika jaldi thik ho jae' while another one commented, 'Allah bless you both with long, healthy life ameen.'

Dipika and Shoaib's love story began on the set of Sasural Simar Ka in 2011. They were friends first, who realised they share deeper feelings for one another after Shoaib exited the show. The couple officially started dating around 2015-16. Their private nikah took place on February 22, 2018, in Bhopal with their hearts full of family blessings and love from their fans. Overcoming trolling and religious speculation, they have emerged united and steadfast. They are now loving parents to their son, Ruhaan and partners supporting each other through sickness and health.
We wish Dipika a smooth next stage of treatment and many more joyful family days ahead.
