Dipika Kakar
, best known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka, is all set to undergo surgery tomorrow morning after being diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. The heartbreaking news was shared by her husband and fellow actor

In an emotional note, Shoaib informed fans, 'Dippi's surgery is scheduled to happen tomorrow morning. It's going to be a long surgery. She needs all your prayers and strength the most. Please keep her in your prayers.' He earlier revealed that doctors had found a tennis ball-sized tumour in Dipika's liver during a series of medical tests, initially prompted by stomach pain and flu symptoms.
While the surgery was earlier postponed due to severe congestion in Dipika's chest along with cold and cough, the couple had been waiting for a go-ahead from doctors at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai.

Now that her condition is stable enough for surgery, Dipika is preparing to face a major medical procedure with courage and faith. She recently opened up about the shocking series of events that led to her diagnosis. '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—it has been one of the most difficult times we have seen and experienced,' she wrote.
