Dipika Kakar won't return to television anytime soon; focuses on health and family?
Dipika Kakar
will have to wait longer to see her back on screen. The actress, known for her roles in Sasural Simar Ka and Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum, and as the winner of Bigg Boss 12, is reportedly not making a comeback to television anytime soon.
Rumours had been circulating that Dipika would star opposite
Vivian Dsena
in a new show under Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta's production house, but the news has now been clarified.
A source close to the development revealed to Pinkvilla, 'It is not true. She is only focusing on her health and quality time with her family.'
Dipika's fans had been eagerly waiting for her return after it was speculated she would headline the upcoming show.
The actress, who recently battled cancer, had previously expressed interest in returning to television once she received medical clearance. She underwent a critical 14-hour-long medical procedure in June 2025, which understandably shifted her focus entirely toward recovery.
Earlier reports suggested that producers were keen to cast her alongside Vivian Dsena, adding to the excitement. However, neither Dipika nor Vivian had officially confirmed their involvement in the project.

Khushi Mukherjee Says ‘I Feel Lonely', Blames Social Media Trolls For ‘Depression'
Last Updated: Khushi Mukherjee opened up about feeling lonely and depressed due to social media trolling over her bold looks, saying she's judged no matter what she does. Khushi Mukherjee recently became a social media sensation with several sightings and bold outfit choices. While the social media content garners massive views, she often finds herself at the receiving end, as her choices don't sit well with many. Today, she reacted to the massive trolling and how it is causing her depression. Taking to her Instagram story on Saturday, Khushi wrote, 'Feeling depressed by all the social media trolls. I know many of you might still say that if I am depressed, why am I uploading it on Instagram… must be surely for drama. Many might say that why am I explaining to people. But whatever I do, I am being judged… why????" 'I don't have any friends. I feel lonely, and that's the reason I am uploading it here, because I am kinda breaking from within," she further added. While Khushi often faced backlash for her outfits, she was massively trolled when she wore a golden halter-neck outfit that featured a backless cut, a plunging neckline, and a thigh-high slit. While her paparazzi photos instantly went viral, they also ignited a new wave of criticism on social media. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Street Snap (@bollywoodstreetsnap) However, Khushi responded with unflinching candour in an interview with Viral Bollywood. Dismissing concerns that she looked uncomfortable in her outfit, Khushi said, 'Hawa chal rahi thi — kya main poora udaake show karti? Main usko sambhal rahi thi, main uncomfortable feel nahi kar rahi thi. Phir bhi mera 'oops moment' click ho jata hai." She went on to say that she's always conscious of what parts of her body she is showing and maintains control of her image. But it was her emotionally charged statement that perhaps struck the loudest chord: 'Logon ke andar itna poison bhar gaya hai… kya chahte hain? Main suicide kar loon? Main nahi karungi. Shayad log meri wajah se kar lein, par main nahi karungi. Main yeh sab isliye karti hoon, kyunki mujhe farak hi nahi padta." Meanwhile, her appearances have triggered reactions beyond just trolls. Sasural Simar Ka actress Falaq Naaz indirectly criticised Khushi in a recent video, questioning why the government remains silent on such bold public appearances when it penalises acts like feeding stray animals. Without naming Khushi directly, she asked, 'Aise logon pe penalty kyun nahi hai?" — drawing a controversial comparison that only fuelled the already heated conversation online.
