Television actress Dipika Kakar, known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka, made her first public appearance following her cancer surgery. She appeared in a recent vlog on her husband Shoaib Ibrahim’s YouTube channel, where she shared an emotional health update and expressed gratitude to her fans and well-wishers.
Gratitude for Prayers and Support
Dipika thanked everyone for their prayers and kind wishes during her difficult time. “Aap logon ne bohot duayein ki hain, uske liye dil se thank you,” she said, recalling how hospital staff and even relatives of other patients were praying for her recovery. She added, “I’m feeling much better now. Recovery is going well, and I am much stronger.”
The actress was diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer after experiencing severe stomach pain. Doctors later found a tumour “the size of a tennis ball” in her liver, which was confirmed to be cancerous. Dipika had announced the diagnosis last month through an emotional Instagram post.

Major 14-Hour Surgery and ICU Stay
On June 6, Dipika underwent a critical 14-hour-long surgery to remove the tumour. Shoaib Ibrahim shared that she was in the ICU for three days but showed steady improvement. “Today is Eid Al Adha and Dipika is finally out of the ICU. I’m grateful she’s with us and recovering,” he said.
Hopeful Recovery Ahead
Earlier, Shoaib called this period “the toughest phase of our lives” but remained hopeful. “Alhamdulillah, her scan report came clear. The virus hasn’t spread beyond the tumour. Once it’s removed, Inshallah, she will recover fully,” he shared in a heartfelt video.
Fans continue to send love and strength to Dipika as she battles cancer with resilience and grace.
