Television actress Dipika Kakar, known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka, is on the path to recovery following a 14-hour surgery to treat stage 2 liver cancer. Her husband, actor Shoaib Ibrahim, shared in a recent vlog that the operation was successful and that Dipika has been moved out of the ICU. During the procedure, doctors removed a small portion of her liver to excise a cancerous tumor.

He also mentioned their son, Ruhaan, who patiently spent three days without his mother during her hospitalization. Dipika's health journey began in May when she experienced severe stomach pain, leading to the discovery of a tennis ball-sized tumor in her liver. Initially, tests suggested the tumor was benign, but further examinations confirmed it was malignant.
