Dipika Kakar catches viral infection amid targeted therapy for liver cancer, says it’s taking a toll: ‘I have been prescribed very heavy dosage of antibiotics’

Actress Dipika Kakar is currently undergoing treatment for liver cancer. Following her surgery in June, she began targeted therapy in July. In one of her earlier vlogs, Dipika shared that she was experiencing minor side effects from the treatment. In her latest vlog, the actress revealed that she has contracted a viral infection, which has taken a toll on her health. She also mentioned that her immunity has weakened as a result of the ongoing treatment.

Giving an update on her health, Dipika said in her latest vlog, “My condition has been quite bad. I caught the viral infection that Ruhaan had, and in my case, it has gotten severe because I am undergoing treatment, because of which my immunity is low. Doctor Somnath had told us earlier only that he needs to be contacted if I catch any viral infection or fever. I have been prescribed a very heavy dosage of antibiotics and anti-allergy medicines, which is taking a toll on me. I hope I feel better soon. Yesterday, I had lots of weakness.”
