Overview

  • On June 3, Kakar underwent a 14-hour operation at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Hospital to remove a stage two malignant liver tumour.
  • After confirming she is now “free from the tumour,” she left the hospital on June 12 and continues treatment at home under a plan that could last up to a year.
  • In her first post-surgery vlog, Kakar recounted breaking down with husband Shoaib Ibrahim when they learned her tumour was cancerous.
  • The actress revealed that she had to wean her two-year-old son, Ruhaan, overnight before beginning medication, describing it as one of her hardest sacrifices.
  • Ibrahim supported her through every step—sitting 12 hours outside surgery, managing her medicines and sharing family vlogs to keep fans informed of her progress.
