Dipika Kakar Undergoes Liver Surgery
Dipika, who became most popular for her performances in Hindi TV serials, was recently diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in her liver. Shoaib informed that the surgery, which was both crucial and comprehensive, entailed the removal of part of her liver and her gall bladder. He clarified that the physicians needed to remove a small portion of the tumoured part of the liver. Her gall bladder was also removed since it had stones. The actor said the day of the procedure was very tough for the family. He sat with Dipika till 8:30 in the morning, and it was only late at night, around 11:30 pm, that she was shifted to the ICU. Though they were informed beforehand that the surgery would take a long time, the waiting for hours gave his family and him immense anxiety.
Dipika spent three days in the ICU. Shoaib posted that even though she had a lot of stitches and was in a lot of pain, she is recovering steadily. After some days on a liquid diet, Dipika has now resumed normal food and even takes short walks. The last blood tests came out with normal results, and this has brought much relief to the couple. The excised tumour has been forwarded for a biopsy, and they are now waiting for the results. Shoaib made fans understand that although a part of her liver was excised, there is no big cause for alarm, as the liver can regenerate itself with time.
Shoaib also shared a heartwarming moment with their little son Ruhaan, who went without seeing his mother for three whole days. On the third day, feeling miserable without her, he was taken to the hospital. Getting some time with Dipika pacified him, and he went back home after visiting.
Dipika had earlier updated her fans regarding the diagnosis in an emotional Instagram post, terming this to be one of the most difficult moments of their lives. As she recovers, fans from all over the country are sending their wishes and good vibes to the couple.
