Dipika Kakar cancer: Television actor Dipika Kakar has spoken candidly about the anxiety and physical strain she continues to experience while undergoing treatment for liver cancer. Although her latest medical reports have been declared normal, the actress revealed that the fear and emotional turbulence remain overwhelming.
In her latest vlog, filmed with husband Shoaib Ibrahim beside her, Dipika explained that her days fluctuate between hope and deep vulnerability.
It was admitted by her that she has been battling intense anxiety despite encouraging test results. “It’s not that I feel overwhelmed all the time, there are days I feel genuinely happy and hopeful. There are days I believe everything is absolutely fine… Every day brings something different, and the only way forward is to keep going. I’m going through an emotional breakdown right now,” she said, stressing that “Alhamdulillah, all my reports are normal” yet the fear continues to linger.
Dipika shared that doctors, including Somnath Sir and Dr Imran Shaikh, have explained how anxiety often persists even when health parameters look stable. That uncertainty, she noted, continues to weigh heavily on her heart.
Beyond the emotional toll, the actress described several physical challenges that have been affecting her well-being. It was revealed that fluctuating thyroid levels, hormonal changes and the harsh weather have been causing extreme dryness, cracked skin and discomfort in her ears, neck and nose. “Every day I wake up dealing with something new… My skin has become extremely dry… there’s this odd pressure I feel in my ears and neck,” she added.
Calling the journey “exhausting,” Dipika reminded her viewers of the importance of confronting fear rather than surrendering to it. She stated, “You have only two choices: sit with the fear and let it consume you, or confront it and move forward. The only way to fight through all of this is to keep moving. So don’t give up.”
Dipika ended the vlog by encouraging others facing similar medical struggles to hold on to faith and trust in God. The actress, who is married to Shoaib Ibrahim, continues to document her personal highs and lows through YouTube, where the couple regularly shares updates about life with their two-year-old son, Ruhaan.
