Dipika’s ongoing cancer battle

Dipika Kakar, best known for Sasural Simar Ka, has been battling stage 2 liver cancer for several months now. Earlier in June 2025, she underwent a tumour-removal surgery and has since been documenting her treatment journey through her YouTube channel.

Her candid vlogs have offered fans a glimpse into her chemotherapy sessions, her fluctuating energy levels, and her determination to heal. Both Dipika and Shoaib continue to keep their followers updated on her progress through regular vlogs.

Recently, the actress revealed that she had caught a viral infection from her two-year-old son, Ruhaan. Weakened immunity due to ongoing treatments made her recovery slower than usual.

“Ruhaan se infection mujhe lag gaya. Aur mere case mein infection thoda zyada severe ho gaya kyunki main treatment pe hoon, aur uss time pe aapki body ki immunity thodi low hoti hai,” Dipika shared. “Doctor ne pehle hi kaha tha ki agar viral ho ya fever aaye, toh turant call karna. Antibiotics aur anti-allergics start kiye, jo thoda heavy pad raha hai.

(“I caught the infection from Ruhaan. In my case, the infection became a bit more severe because I’m undergoing treatment, and during that time your body’s immunity is quite low,” Dipika said. “The doctor had already told us that if I get any kind of viral or fever, we should call immediately. As soon as we did, they started antibiotics and anti-allergic medicines, which are quite strong and heavy on the body.)”

A love story fans adore

Shoaib and Dipika’s love story is one that television fans have cherished for years. The duo first met on the sets of Sasural Simar Ka, where their on-screen chemistry eventually blossomed into real-life love. They tied the knot in February 2018 in Shoaib’s hometown, Bhopal, and in 2023, welcomed their son Ruhaan, who they often feature lovingly in their family vlogs.
