Dipika Kakar Pens Emotional Note For Husband Shoaib Ibrahim Jholi Khaali Hai Humaari

Television actors Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim have been going through challenges on the personal front. While Shoaib’s father has been hospitalised for nearly a month, Dipika is currently undergoing treatment for liver cancer. Amid these difficult times, the couple took a moment to celebrate Shoaib’s birthday on Saturday. On the occasion, Shoaib treated fans to the teaser of his upcoming music video. Adding to the celebrations, Dipika penned a heartfelt birthday note for her husband.

Shoaib Ibrahim also treated fans to the first glimpse of his upcoming music video Tu Saath Nahi Hai. Sharing the poster, Shoaib wrote, “Some stories aren’t told… they’re felt. Presenting the first look of our upcoming song, Tu Saath Nahi Hai.”

Dipika Kakar also shared an update on her health in her last vlog. She said, “Last few days since papa was hospitalised have been very difficult because I also simultaneously had scans, and my immunotherapy started. As for my health update, we have had one infusion of double immunotherapy. The next one will happen soon. My immunotherapy will happen through IV, and there are no side effects as such as of now.”

“When such heavy drugs go into your body, you do feel lethargic. I experienced a lot of back pain. I also got a mild fever. The reports are normal, so these side effects are not due to the medicine. Going forward, immunotherapy will continue, and blood tumor markers and scans will have to be done. Meanwhile, we also ran other blood tests to deeply study the cancer. We did too many things, and all of it has been the toughest for Shoaib. He has already been very stressed about me, and when papa had this, it was very difficult for him. Please keep supporting him; he needs it the most right now. He is strongly facing all of it. When I had my first immunotherapy, he wanted to stay by my side. He is going through the toughest phase right now. I always stood by him in the hospital, but this time I couldn’t because of my health. We also have to give time to Ruhaan. These are testing times, and we are hopeful that it will all be well,” Dipika added.
