Shoaib took to Instagram Stories to post a note sharing an update on Dipika's surgery. Earlier, her surgery was delayed due to a viral infection and flu-like symptoms.
The actor shared that June 3 will be a big day in their life, with Dipika undergoing surgery.
'Dippi's surgery is scheduled to happen tomorrow morning. Its going to be a long surgery... she needs all your prayers & strength the most ... please keep her in your prayers,' he wrote in the note. The actor also shared several folded hand emojis with the note.
Last week, taking to his YouTube channel, Shoaib and Dipika spoke at length about her health. They said that the surgery, which was scheduled for that week, has been postponed as Dipika hasn't recovered from flu yet.
Dipika also revealed that doctors assured them that she would be cured after the tumour was surgically removed. He also shared that Dipika was experiencing pain due to a stone in her gall bladder.
Last month, Dipika took to Instagram to share that she has been diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. Dipika gave an update about her health after staying in the hospital for a few days. Dipika said that the last few weeks were "one of the most difficult times" they have experienced. Sharing the sequence of events, the actor 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 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'.
She stressed that she is trying to have a positive outlook and is determined to face the obstacle. '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," she added.

'This also happened': Meghan Markle shares labour dance video to mark daughter's 4th birthday
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry dancing Meghan Markle on Wednesday released an unusual video, showing herself dancing while in labour with Lilibet, four years ago. The 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex shared the recording on Instagram to commemorate her daughter's fourth birthday. Meghan wrote alongside the video: "Four years ago today, this also happened. "Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!" The mother-of-two appeared dancing to The Drake Family's rendition of Starrkeisha's The Baby Momma Dance. Meghan performed a hip-shaking routine and executed a spin beside her hospital bed. Prince Harry made an amusing cameo wearing a grey hooded top. He moved across the space before performing a synchronised squat with Meghan. The pair appeared at ease while recording their dance routine during their wait for Lilibet's arrival. Before the the dance video, the Duchess had made another Instagram post showing her child as a newborn held by Prince Harry, after the first post showing Lilibet's latest look while hugging her whishing her happy birthday. "Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives - and each day is brighter and better because of it," she wrote. The celebration will likely occur privately at their California residence, maintaining their practice of sharing select moments of their children's milestones via social media, according to reports from The Sun. Meghan and Harry's daughter holds seventh position in the British throne succession. Her 2021 birth occurred during Queen Elizabeth II's reign, whose childhood nickname was Lilibet. This name originated when then-Princess Elizabeth couldn't pronounce her name correctly. King George V adopted Lilibet as an affectionate nickname, which became used amongst close family. Harry and Meghan are raising Lilibet and Archie in an exclusive Montecito neighbourhood.
