Popular Television actress, who rose to fame with Sasural Simar Ka, Dipika Kakar, recently informed her fans that she has been diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. The actress took to her Instagram to share the news of ‘difficult’ times. Kakar also spoke about how it has been detected. She asked her fans to keep her in their prayers. In a heartbreaking post, Dipika wrote, “As you all are aware, the last few weeks have been quite difficult for us. Walking into the hospital for a pain in the upper area of my stomach… and then finding out it’s a tennis ball-sized tumour in the liver, and then finding out that the tumour is second-stage malignant (cancerous), it has been one of the most difficult times we have seen and experienced.” 

“I am all positive, determined to face this and walk out stronger, InshAllah! With my entire family being by my side and all the love and prayers pouring in from all of you, I will sail through this too,” she added. 

Popular stars from the industry extended their good wishes to the actress. Shraddha Arya commented on the post, “Prayers and lots of Love..” Gaurav Khanna wrote, “Be strong Dipika.. we all have u in our prayers.. u wil definitely defeat it .. never loose hope ..” Avika Gor said, “Praying for your speedy recovery di.” Akangsha Rawat commented, “Prayers for you and your family. I am sure you will come out of this with Gods grace.” Rajiv Adatia wrote, “Always with you Dipika!!! You are strong girl and fighter! You will be fine! Sending you so much love and strength!” 


Revealing in her daily vlog, Dipika Kakar was hopsitalised last week due to high fever and persistent pain. Since then, her husband and Televison actor Shoaib Ibrahim has been sharing all the update about his wife’s health. 

The duo also talked about the same in a daily vlog. Shoaib said, “Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, the scan report came out clear. The virus or its cells have not spread anywhere else in the body. Whatever is there is confined to the tumour, and once the tumour is surgically removed, Inshallah, things will get better. As of now, the doctors are saying everything looks under control, though ultimately, Allah knows best what the future holds.” 

“Still, I believe every person faces such phases in life at some point. For us, this is probably the toughest phase we’ve ever experienced. Yet, we are equally grateful to Allah. While this is undoubtedly a major health concern, the doctors are very confident in handling it. In fact, I can say with full confidence that they are assuring us it can be cured easily,” he added. 

Dipika also talked about the same and said, “We are placing our complete trust in the doctors and drawing strength from their confidence. Of course, hearing this word—cancer—in anyone’s life is terrifying, both for the patient and their family. But we’re staying strong, keeping the faith, and hoping for the best.”
