What happened to Dipika

A few days ago, Shoaib had spoken at length about Dipika's health via a vlog titled, Need Your Prayers. Shoaib had said, “Dipika is not well. There is a serious stomach issue. When I was in Chandigarh, Dipika started having pain in her stomach and initially we thought it was due to acidity. When the pain did not go away, she consulted our family doctor, who also treated my father. He put her on some antibiotics and suggested some blood tests. She was on antibiotics till May 5... After my father’s birthday, she once again started experiencing pain, and the blood test showed an infection in her body."

After several tests, he shared that Dipika was diagnosed with a tumour. He had said, “Our doctor asked us to visit again and when we met him he asked us to do a CT scan and it showed that Dipika has a tumour in the left lobe of her liver. It is bigger in size like a tennis ball. It was very shocking for us." Shoaib had revealed that Dipika was hospitalised for more tests.
