New Delhi: Television actor Dipika Kakar and her husband Shoaib Ibrahim will soon become parents. The actor has now decided to quit acting and focus on her personal life and enjoy motherhood. 


The actor in a recent conversation with media, shared that she doesn’t want to work and live as a ‘housewife and mother.’ 


“I am enjoying this phase of pregnancy and welcoming our first child. The excitement is on another level. I started working at a very young age and continued for about 10 – 15 years at a stretch. As my pregnancy journey began, I told Shoaib that I don’t want to work and want to quit acting. I want to live a life as a housewife and mother,” Pinkvilla quoted Dipika as saying. 


Dipika has worked in Television shows like ‘Sasural Simar Ka’ and ‘Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum’. She was also the winner of Bigg Boss season 12. Shoaib and Dipika got married in 2018 after working together in ‘Sasural Simar Ka’. 


Dipika and Shoaib announced their pregnancy in January 2023. In March this year, Dipika had also called out those who called her pregnancy 'fake'.  


She had posted a video on YouTube and said, "How much negativity will you spread? Be it pregnancy, or celebrations or profession, or a relationship between husband and wife, you have to spread negativity. And, then you go ahead and blame us for being fake? We are nautanki baaz?"  


She added, “Mai to hun hi nautanki baaz, certified hoon. Thik hai, hoon ab kya? Grow up guys, ap jis tarah comment krte ho meri pregnancy ko lekar, is it ok? Aap ye comment kr rahe ho ki mai fake kar rahi hoon bump ko? You question my bump? Am I faking it? Aap ek pregnant aurat ko bol rahe ho ye vo sahi hai? (I am a certified drama queen, you have certified me. Fine, I am, what now? The way you comment on pregnancy, is it ok? Aap ye comment kr rahe ho ki mai fake kar rahi hoon bump ko. You are saying this to a pregnant woman, is that right?)” 


Deepika runs a vlog called ‘Dipika Ki Duniya’ and gives updates on her life to her fans.
