Dipika Kakar was discharged after 11 days in the hospital
Television actor Dipika Kakar, who was recently diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer, has returned home. She underwent a major 14-hour surgery to remove a malignant liver tumour on June 3, and a few days after that, she was out of the ICU. Now, after 11 days in the hospital, Dipika has finally been discharged from the hospital. Shoaib Ibrahim shared that while the major part- the surgery- went well, and Dipika is recovering, further treatment steps are still ahead. He said that they will return for a follow-up after a week, as the tumour was malignant and requires monitoring. Dipika reunited with her two-year-old son Ruhaan, and other family members, marking a joyful moment.
In his latest vlog, Shoaib Ibrahim shared that it has been 11 days since they have been in the hospital, and that Dipika is getting discharged. Sharing her health update, he said, “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.” Dipika lauded the team of doctors and medical staff, as they left the hospital and headed home.
Shoaib and Dipika Recall Breaking Down After Hearing Tumour Was Malignant
Shoaib shared that when the doctor first told them that the tumour was malignant, he and Dipika broke down right there in front of the doctor. He revealed that the doctor was very kind and patient, and said ‘Take your time, we understand’. Further sharing about Dipika’s health, Shaoib said, “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.”
Meanwhile, Shoaib also mentioned that while he was initially going to share this vlog yesterday, he delayed it out of respect for the victims of the Ahmedabad plane crash. Dipika and Shoaib extended their condolences to the victims’ families.
Last month, Dipika revealed that she is battling stage 2 liver cancer. The television star, known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka, shared the heartbreaking update through an emotional Instagram note. After suffering intense stomach pain, doctors discovered a tumour “the size of a tennis ball” in her liver, which was later confirmed to be cancerous. Since then, Shoaib has been sharing her health updates on social media.
