Actress Dipika Kakar, widely recognized for her role in Sasural Simar Ka, has shared an emotional update on her ongoing battle with liver cancer. Two months after undergoing surgery for stage 2 liver cancer, the 39-year-old actress took to Instagram to reveal the struggles of her treatment journey.

In her Instagram Stories, Dipika posted a selfie where she rested her head on her hand with a faint smile on her face. She captioned the image, “Days when the treatment hits hard, and even the simplest things feel heavy.”

Dipika was diagnosed with liver cancer in May this year. She celebrated her 39th birthday on August 6, 2025, and later expressed gratitude to her fans in a heartfelt post. Sharing a couple of monochrome pictures, she wrote, “Aaj ek baar phir dil se thank you for being the reason for my smile so many times. Jab jab aaplogon ne mere liye dua ki mujhe himmat di, I smiled. And iss baar mera birthday special tha alag tha mere liye, mere parivaar ke liye.”

She further added, “Aap log bhi uss ehsaas mein shamil hue. Itne saare messages, itni saari wishes, and itniii saari duayein, once again, you guys made me SMILE with all the lovely wishes flowing in. Thank you once again. Love you all.”

In June, Dipika underwent a 14-hour-long surgery and was discharged after 11 days of hospitalization. A month later, her husband, actor Shoaib Ibrahim, revealed through a YouTube vlog that Dipika had started her targeted therapy treatment as part of her recovery journey.
