Dipika Kakar celebrates Eid in hospital with Shoaib Ibrahim amid Cancer recovery

TV actor Dipika Kakar celebrated Eid al-Adha 2025 with husband Shoaib Ibrahim in the hospital as she is recovering from a major surgery for Stage 2 liver cancer. The actor recently underwent a 14-hour operation and is now out of the ICU, showing signs of improvement.

Shoaib shared a photo on his Instagram Story, showing the couple holding Eidi envelopes sent by his father. Dipika was seen lying in a hospital bed, wearing a “Fall Risk” wristband.

“Dipi aur mere liye papa ki



taraf se eidi aye (Papa sent eidi for both Dipi and me),(sic)” Shoaib captioned the photo, along with a heart emoji and “Eid Mubarak” wishes to fans.

Shoaib, in his vlog, shared that she was taken into the OT at 8:30 AM and came out only by 11:30 PM on Tuesday, June 3. The long wait caused panic among family members, especially around 6–7 PM when there were no updates. “Thankfully, the doctor assured me that if they don't come out with updates, it means the surgery is going well,” Shoaib recalled.
