Dipika Kakar On Weaning Off Her Son
Dipika Kakar recently released a YouTube video thanking her staff, medical staff, and doctors at the hospital. Amid this, one of the hardest parts for her during the cancer diagnosis and major surgery was weaning off her son Ruhaan in just one night. She recalled crying the whole night due to this sudden shift in circumstances. Though her son was almost two years old and was eventually going to leave breastfeeding, she didn’t imagine it would be under such circumstances.
She further added that with her taking many heavy medications amid the treatment, it’s better not to breastfeed the child. Dipika sincerely also thanked her fans and well-wishers for all the special and heartfelt wishes during such a crucial time. “I’ve cried a lot — out of happiness — knowing that so many people love me so much. I feel truly blessed. And I also feel a little proud that I’ve earned so much love,” she said.

Her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, had revealed that the tumour part was cut from her body, and the doctors also took her gall bladder due to a stone. A small part of her liver was also cut due to the tumour. He added that since the liver can heal itself, it wasn’t a big concern, but since her tumour was cancerous, regular check-ups were necessary.
