Her husband, actor Shoaib Ibrahim, had been regularly updating fans about her health in recent days. Now, Dipika has chosen to speak directly to her followers, opening up about her journey and asking for strength and support as she begins treatment.

Dipika penned a note on her Instagram handle, which read, "As you all are aware last few weeks have been quite difficult for us... walking into the hospital for a pain in the upper area of my stomach... and then finding out it's a tennis ball size tumour in the liver and then finding out that the tumour is second stage Malignant (Cancerous)... it has been one of the most difficult time we have seen, experienced!"

With her family’s support and everyone’s prayers, Dipika is hopeful she’ll get through this tough time. "I am all positive and determined to face this and walk out stronger InshaAllah! With my entire family being by my side.... and All the LOVE and PRAYERS pouring in from all of you I will sail through this too! InshaAllah...Keep me in your prayers! Lots of love...Dipika," she added.

Actor Shoaib Ibrahim also spoke about his wife Dipika’s liver cancer in an emotional YouTube video. Holding back tears, he called it the hardest time of their lives but said he’s staying hopeful about her recovery. “Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, the scan report came out clear. The virus or its cells have not spread anywhere else in the body. Whatever is there is confined to the tumour, and once the tumour is surgically removed, Inshallah, things will get better. As of now, the doctors are saying everything looks under control, though ultimately, Allah knows best what the future holds," he said.

Shoaib added, “Still, I believe every person faces such phases in life at some point. For us, this is probably the toughest phase we’ve ever experienced. Yet, we are equally grateful to Allah. While this is undoubtedly a major health concern, the doctors are very confident in handling it. In fact, I can say with full confidence that they are assuring us it can be cured easily."

Earlier in May, Dipika’s husband, actor Shoaib Ibrahim, shared an update on her health through his YouTube channel. She is now scheduled to undergo surgery for the tumour soon.
