Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim have been making headlines for the past few days after they announced that the actress has a tennis ball-sized tumour in her liver. After experiencing stomach ache for some time, Dipika decided to visit a doctor where she was diagnosed with stage two liver cancer. She updated her fans about the same by sharing a brief note on her social media. She wrote, “As you all are aware, 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 size 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, experienced!"

Dipika Kakar’s surgery: Shoaib Ibrahim, Dipika’s husband, shared an update about his wife’s high-risk surgery via his Instagram story yesterday and requested all the fans to wish for her speedy recovery, which is to be performed today. Shoaib wrote, “Dippi’s surgery is scheduled to happen tomorrow morning. It’s going to be a long surgery… she needs all your prayers & strength the most… please keep her in your prayers.” The couple has been receiving well-wishes and support from their loyal fan base since then.
