Dipika Kakar undergoes immunotherapy session
Recently, Dipika’s husband, actor Shoaib Ibrahim, took to his vlog, posted on YouTube, to speak about her ongoing treatment and kept fans informed about her recovery journey. He shared a health update, revealing that she has undergone her first session of immunotherapy.
Shoaib shared, “Dipika’s immunotherapy has started at HN Reliance Hospital; it will take 3-4 hours. After this, I will head to Kokilaben Hospital to meet papa. We hope Dipika’s immunotherapy works.”
The actor went onto dismiss rumours about Dipika undergoing another surgery, saying, “A lot of people have been asking if Dipika is undergoing another surgery. As of now, the doctor has not said anything; the surgery is not happening at the moment.” Shoaib’s update comes days after Dipika revealed that doctors had detected two new cysts.
Meanwhile, Shoaib’s father was hospitalised in the last week of May after he suffered a brain hemorrhage. Talking about his father’s health, the actor said, “My father is doing better; his health is improving day by day. His speech and the right side of the body will eventually recover. The day before yesterday, after 10 days, he finally started speaking; he has started smiling now. His speech therapy will begin soon because when he tries to speak long sentences, he blabbers. In the last 1-2 days, things have started to get better.”
