However, Dipika is still recuperating in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Shoaib wrote, 'Hi everyone, sorry I couldn't update you last night; it was a long surgery. She was in the operation theatre (OT) for 14 hours. But Alhamdulillah, everything went well. Dipi is currently in the ICU. She's in some pain, but she's stable and doing okay. Thank you all dil se (from the heart) for your love, prayers, and support. It truly means a lot. I will update you all once she's out of the ICU. Thank you once again. Keep praying for her.' Shoaib Ibrahim shares Dipika Kakar's health update.
Late last month, Dipika shared on social media that a 'tennis ball-sized tumour' was detected in her liver. She said that what began as a minor stomach ache was later diagnosed as stage two malignancy.
She said, '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 its 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 time we have seen, experienced!'
"I am all positive and 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! IshaAllah. Keep me in your prayers! Lots of love. Dipika," the actor added.
Dipika was recently rushed to the hospital after suffering from a high fever and pain. Shoaib informed fans on their vlog, 'Our doctor asked us to visit again and when we met him he asked us to do a CT scan and it showed that Dipika has a tumour in the left lobe of her liver. It is bigger in size like a tennis ball. It was very shocking for us.'
Dipika is best known for starring in hit TV shows like Sasural Simar Ka and Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum. She also participated in reality shows like Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8, Nach Baliye 8 and most recently, Celebrity MasterChef.

I was having chai paratha or omelette paratha. But sab bol rahe the weak hogaye ho (everyone was saying that I looked weak). After a month, I decided to stop this habit and return to my diet. So, now I am eating uttapam, sambar, omelette…" He continued, "I got tired of having omelette every day, but since I'm not going to the gym right now, I still need protein from food. I get my protein from an omelette made with 3-4 egg whites, so today I decided to have it with sambar and uttapam." Shoaib's wife and actress Dipika joined him in the video and she was seen humorously pulling his leg for his weird food combinations.
