“The surgery started in the morning and ended just before midnight. She’ll be in the hospital for three to five days as per doctors’ advice,” he said, adding, “Woh bahut hi mushkil waqt tha (It was a very difficult time).”

Shoaib revealed that doctors had to remove not only the tennis ball-sized tumour from Dipika’s liver but also her gall bladder, due to a detected stone. “Since the tumour was on the liver, a small portion of it had to be removed as well. But there’s no need to worry because the liver can regenerate itself,” he assured.

Dipika’s Diagnosis

Dipika had earlier informed her followers that she was diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer, bravely sharing her journey online. Fans and fellow celebrities have flooded the couple’s social media with prayers and support during this challenging time.
