Dipika Kakar says tumour in liver is ‘second stage malignant’: ‘Last few weeks have been quite difficult’

Earlier this month, Dipika Kakar’s husband, actor Shoaib Ibrahim revealed in a YouTube vlog that she had been diagnosed with a tennis-ball-sized liver tumor. He said, “Dipika is not well, I think there is a stomach issue. When I was in Chandigarh, Dipika started having pain in her stomach and initially we thought it was due to acidity. But when the pain did not decrease, she consulted our family doctor, who also treated our father. He gave some antibiotics and asked her to get blood tests done. Then she was on antibiotics till May 5, and when I returned, she was doing fine. Then, after papa’s birthday, she once again started experiencing pain and meanwhile the blood test reports came, which indicated that she had infection in her body.”

The actor added, “Our doctor asked us to visit again and when we met him he asked us to do a CT scan and it showed that Dipika has a tumour in the left lobe of her liver. It is bigger in size like a tennis ball. It was very shocking for us.”
