Actor Dipika Kakar, who has been battling liver cancer, recently underwent another surgery in March after a 1.3 cm cyst reappeared. The relapse has taken an emotional toll on the actor, who admitted that she now lives with constant anxiety about her health.
Dipika also shared that the ongoing struggle has made it difficult for her to spend quality time with her young son, leaving her deeply distressed.
She said, “There are so many things going on in my mind, due to my illness, Shoaib (actor Shoaib Ibrahim) has been stuck with so many things. I am not able to give Ruhaan time sometimes; on the days I am fatigued, I just sleep. If I am in the hospital, I cannot be with Ruhaan. It does change when you are ill, your routine, your priorities change, your body needs rest.”
Dipika also admitted that the recurring cyst has shook her bad, saying, “The recurrence that happened with the 1.3 cm cyst has shaken me. I am a little scared now that it shouldn’t happen again. I have started dieting, but I feel anxious.”
She shared that her health has affected her consistency with vlogging, but she still makes an effort to shoot whenever she can.
Dipika has been battling stage 2 liver cancer for the past few months and has been using her YouTube channel to document her health journey, sharing her experiences with chemotherapy, her emotional highs and lows, and her gradual steps toward recovery.
