MUMBAI: Much-loved television couple Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim are currently facing one of the most challenging times of their lives, as Dipika battles stage 2 liver cancer.

The actress, known for her heartfelt performances and warm personality, recently underwent a critical surgery that lasted an intense 14 hours.

At the time, the medical team was still unsure whether it was benign or malignant, leaving the couple and their fans in a state of anxious uncertainty.

That uncertainty turned into heartbreak when, just last week, Dipika bravely confirmed her diagnosis—stage 2 liver cancer. The news sent shockwaves through the television industry and her fanbase, prompting an outpouring of support and prayers for her recovery.

Facing the diagnosis with immense courage, Dipika chose to be transparent about her condition, drawing admiration for her strength and resilience. Yesterday, the actress underwent a complex 14-hour surgical procedure to remove the tumour.

Following the operation, Shoaib Ibrahim took to social media to update fans on her condition. In a heartfelt note, he wrote:

"Sorry everyone, I couldn’t update you last night — it was a long surgery. She was in the OT for 14 hours. But Alhamdulillah, everything went well. Dipi is currently in the ICU. She’s stable and doing okay. Thank you all, dil se, for your love, prayers, and support. It truly means a lot. I will update you all once she’s out of the ICU. Thank you once again, and please keep praying for her."

It’s a relief for many to know that Dipika is stable and on the road to recovery. Fans, friends, and industry peers continue to shower the couple with heartfelt wishes and strength during this trying time.
