Television actor Shoaib Ibrahim has opened up about his wife Dipika Kakar’s ongoing battle with liver cancer and how their two-year-old son Ruhaan coped during her hospital stay. In a heartfelt YouTube vlog, Shoaib shared emotional insights into their current phase, calling it one of the toughest times in their lives.

Ruhaan’s Strength and Family Support

Shoaib expressed immense gratitude for how patient Ruhaan was during Dipika’s absence. “It is commendable to see that Ruhaan was fine. He stayed three days without his mother, with the support of Ammi, Beti Khala, Riza, and others at home,” Shoaib said. However, the toddler did cry one night and was then taken to visit Dipika. “He met Dipika, played with her, and happily returned home with his Nani,” he added.

Successful Surgery and Recovery Journey

Dipika, known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka, was diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer last month. After experiencing severe stomach pain, doctors found a tennis ball-sized tumour in her liver. She recently underwent a 14-hour-long surgery at a Mumbai hospital and spent three days in the ICU.

Gratitude for Support and Prayers

Shoaib thanked fans for their continued prayers and love. “I am extremely grateful to everyone who prayed for Dipika. Her recovery is underway, and we hope she will be discharged soon,” he said.
