Dipika Kakkar Returns Home After 11-Day Recovery From Stage 2 Liver Cancer Surgery

TV actress Dipika Kakkar, best known for Sasural Simar Ka, has been discharged from Kokilaben Hospital, Mumbai, after an 11-day stay following a major 14-hour surgery to remove a stage 2 liver tumor.

The operation included the removal of her tumor, gallbladder, and a portion of her liver.

She spent 3 days in ICU and navigated physical challenges like post-surgical drains and emotional stress.

Upon reaching home, Dipika was welcomed by her husband Shoaib Ibrahim, son Ruhaan, and extended family.

The emotional family reunion included her shy, loving welcome from son Ruhaan, shared in their accompanying vlog.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Dipika wrote:

“11 Days of being here and now home… Free from the tumour … but this is one part of the treatment done … remaining will follow in the coming time … I believe I will sail through that too.”

She expressed gratitude toward her medical team—Dr. Somnath Chattopadhyay and colleagues—for their empathy and skill.

Doctors stress that ongoing follow-ups are essential since the tumor was malignant.

Additional therapies—like imaging, monitoring, or possible immunotherapy—will be determined in upcoming weeks.
