Popular Indian TV actress Dipika Kakar is once again battling a health setback months after her liver cancer treatment. 

In a recent update, her husband and actor Shoaib Ibrahim revealed that the 39-year-old actress has now developed a cyst in her stomach and will soon be hospitalised for another surgery.

The couple shared the news on their YouTube vlog, just hours after attending a birthday party, and what looked like a normal evening quickly changed.

The Ajooni actor said, “Today (Saturday), the full day was of hospital visits. Everything was fine till yesterday. Dipika had mild pain in her stomach for two days, which aggravated more on Friday night. So, we visited the doctor, they got a CT scan done, and we learned that Dipika has gotten another cyst of 13mm (1.3 cm)."

The  Sasural Simar Ka lead added, “Along with the stomach, I have been getting the same shoulder pain for two days. That was alarming for us. However, the doctors are saying that the pain in the left shoulder is not because of that.”

Shoaib said the cyst will be treated next week. “Other than this cyst, everything is normal… the cyst will be burned. She will be hospitalized for 3-4 days, and the procedure will happen on Tuesday. We are glad that we found out at an early stage. Eight years back, we had our sangeet today.”

Dipika admitted she was scared. “Such is life… Don’t ignore the slightest pain,” she said.

The actress, known for her role in the TV show Sasural Simar Ka, has been fighting stage 2 liver cancer. 

She earlier revealed that 22 per cent of her liver was removed after diagnosis. Since then, she has documented her journey online, turning personal pain into public strength.
