Just the hairfall is very scary.Bahut zayada baal gir rahe hai. Main jab nahake aati hun, main 10-15 min chup rehti hun, kisi se baat nahi karti, because hairfall is a lot. That is very fearful for me.”
Further, stating that her medical reports are normal, she said, “I have already shared my reports in Shoaib’s vlog. Jo reports humne 3 mahine ke baad ke tumour marker ke tests kiye aur LFT wagera kiya, voh sab normal aaya hai. Tumour marker were very normal so doctor advised not to do the FAPI Scan right now but after 2 months. So that’s about it.” Dipika also mentioned that due to the changing weather, her husband and actor Shoaib Ibrahim has not been keeping well.
