Dipika Kakar Awaits Postponed Surgery as She Battles Stage 2 Liver Cancer

She is recovering from flu-related complications ahead of a tumor removal that doctors say will likely cure her disease.

Overview

  • After experiencing upper stomach pain, scans revealed a tennis ball–sized tumor in her liver confirmed as stage 2 cancer that has not spread beyond the organ.
  • Her planned operation at Kokilaben Hospital was delayed after doctors found she still had chest congestion and flu symptoms.
  • Husband Shoaib Ibrahim has shared regular updates through vlogs and is balancing treatment arrangements with caring for their one-year-old son, Ruhaan.
  • Ruhaan has sensed his mother’s illness and briefly stopped feeding, a reaction Shoaib described as “sensible” and “understanding.”
  • Fans and industry peers have flooded social media with prayers and messages of support, boosting her spirits before the rescheduled surgery.
