Shoaib also posted a new vlog on his YouTube channel to share a glimpse of how they kept things simple during Ramadan, and broke their fast together. Shoaib and Dipika prepared all the food together and in the kitchen shared a cute moment when he wished her a happy anniversary.

The two left for the hospital the next day. Dipika was seen waiting on her hospital bed, with Shoaib for company. Later, he updated that the procedure went well and that the doctor has kept her under observation after the cyst was removed.

Dipika's battle with cancer

Dipika has been battling stage 2 liver cancer for the past few months. In June 2025, the Sasural Simar Ka actor underwent tumour-removal surgery as part of her ongoing treatment.

Since then, Dipika has been using her YouTube channel to document her health journey, sharing her experiences with chemotherapy, her emotional highs and lows, and her gradual steps toward recovery. Both she and Shoaib regularly post updates on their respective vlogs, keeping fans closely connected and informed.
