Shoaib added that during the surgery, Dipika's gall bladder as well as a small portion of her liver were removed. "Her tumour was taken out nicely. The gall bladder was also taken out after surgery because of a stone. Because the liver had a tumour, some portion, a small percentage of it, was also cut. There is nothing to stress about it since the liver is an organ that regenerates itself," he had added.

Parmeet Sethi calls vlogging his ‘second career', reveals sons want to become actors: ‘They audition every week…'
Archana Puran Singh, along with her husband Parmeet Sethi and their sons Aryamann and Ayushmaan, have gained immense popularity with their vlogs on YouTube. In fact, they even documented their recent holiday in Switzerland. In an interview with SCREEN, Parmeet opened up about their trip, making kids fly economy, and their rising fame. In one of their vlogs, their sons revealed that their parents Archana and Parmeet didn't allow them to fly in business class with them, and asked them to earn their own money to enjoy the privilege. When asked about the same, he shared, 'We have always tried to keep our children grounded, as normal as possible and keeping them away from the trappings of being in a filmy family. Jitna normal ho sake itna rakhne ki koshish ki hai humne. We have more or less succeeded.' Parmeet continued, 'We taught them that just because you are a star kid, you won't get any special attention, status or treatment. So, earn your livelihood, and at the same time, earn your respect. The beauty shouldn't come to you in your lap. This is what we have inculcated in them since the beginning. They understand that and agree to it. When they travelled in business class with their own money, that joy was incomparable. It was ten times more than your parents handing you a ticket.' ALSO READ | 'Sharminda' Parmeet Sethi kept apologising to Anil Kapoor as they ran 3 kms across airport to catch a flight for Dil Dhadakne Do shoot: 'He was in a towel' Parmeet Sethi also revealed that their kids plan to follow in the footsteps of their parents and have already started auditioning for roles. 'Aryamann has a music career and also wants to become an actor. Ayushman only wants to become an actor. He is really looking for a lead role in a series or film. Both are auditioning every week. They have been preparing themselves from the last 2-3 years with Atul Mongia classes and everything. They are itching to come on screen now,' he said. With over 7 lakh subscribers on YouTube, Parmeet feels that this could be a second innings of his career, something that the family wasn't expecting. 'It makes me happy that millions of people are watching us. We were not expecting it – socha tha 20-25K views ajayenge and now it's in millions. We all are very grateful. It's like a second career for me. Archana, I and the kids have started taking it seriously. Maybe it is the plan B which is coming good,' he reflected. Has it proved to be more fruitful than his career as an actor? 'It has proved to be more fruitful, definitely. We started it because we believe that this is the future and we wanted to be a part of it. The entertainment landscape is changing rapidly,' he replied. 'It is coming to your phone screen. My sons were recognised on the roads of Switzerland. More than us, they were being stopped for selfies. They are the new kids on the block, people wanted to talk to them. It makes my heart so happy,' Parmeet concluded.
