Liver cancer fighter Dipika Kakar on being able to let son Ruhaan sleep on her lap; says ‘The stitches have healed and these moments are precious'
In her latest vlog, the actress revealed a moment she had long waited for: being able to hold her son Ruhaan on her lap again.
'Ruhaan can sleep on my lap now after surgery as the stitches are finally healed. I can't carry him, but he can lie on my lap and sleep,' Dipika said, visibly emotional. 'This moment is very precious for me. Because when I had learnt about my situation I would keep thinking if this moment would come back and if it is back then when.
But now when things are getting back to normalcy, all these small moments I value a lot.'
The vlog also gave viewers a glimpse into her recent outing with husband Shoaib Ibrahim and Ruhaan, including playful moments at a mall playzone and some much-needed self-care through facial treatments.
During a recent Instagram live, Dipika opened up about her future plans. When asked about returning to work, she admitted, 'I had asked my doctor when I could return to television.'

Her original plan had been to resume acting after Ruhaan stopped breastfeeding and once she regained her fitness. But life had other plans. 'My sudden cancer diagnosis changed everything,' she shared candidly.
Currently undergoing targeted therapy following a 14-hour surgery, Dipika is focusing on her health and family. She shared that she's waiting for her medical team's go-ahead before committing to any professional projects.
Dipika, who was last seen on Celebrity MasterChef, has temporarily stepped away from television. But her spirit remains strong, cherishing every step of recovery and the irreplaceable moments with her son.

Optical Illusion: Only an animal lover can spot the hidden glasses around this cute orangutan in just 10 seconds
Image credit: Brightside Optical illusions have a magical way of tickling the brain. What looks like a simple photo often hides a surprise that many might miss. And today's illusion is no exception! It features an adorable orangutan relaxing in a forest, but hidden somewhere in the scene is a sneaky pair of glasses. The twist? The challenge is to find it in just 10 seconds! So, do animal lovers have a sharper eye? Let's find out. At first look, the image seems calm and cute, an orangutan resting peacefully among green leaves. Nothing seems out of place. But the moment someone is told there's something hidden, the brain jumps into detective mode. Image credit: Brightside That's how optical illusions work. They play with how the brain sees shapes, patterns, and colours. What's obvious to one person may be completely invisible to another. And in this case, the task is to locate the glasses quietly resting somewhere near the orangutan. This brain teaser is gaining attention on the internet, with people across social media challenging each other to beat the 10-second timer. While it might sound simple, it's anything but easy. The glasses have been cleverly blended into the background, making them nearly invisible to the untrained eye. Some claim that only true animal lovers or people with strong observational skills can spot the hidden object in time. Of course, it's all in fun, but there's no harm in putting those eyes to the test! Need a hint? Still searching for the mysterious glasses? Don't worry, a little nudge never hurts.

Just beneath the upper arm, a small outline blends perfectly into the fur. The frames have a similar brownish colour, making them look like part of the orangutan's body. The brain tends to skip over such camouflaged details unless something really stands out. That's why this challenge is such a tricky one! Why are optical illusions so addictive? Challenges like this one are not just fun; they also give the brain a bit of a workout. These illusions test visual perception, the process by which the brain interprets what the eyes see. In doing so, they improve focus, attention to detail, and sometimes even memory. For some people, solving such puzzles offers a small dose of satisfaction. For others, it's about proving they can spot what many others miss. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
