Shoaib shared that he was with Dipika till 8.30 am before her surgery started, and at 11.30 pm, she was shifted to the ICU. Though the doctors informed Shoaib and his family that the surgery would take time, the actor said that after 6-7 pm, he and his family members started panicking.

Dipika's gall bladder, a portion of liver was cut

"Jo bhi uska tumour tha woh bahut hi acche se bahar agayi hai. Gall bladder bhi uska nikala hai kyuki us mein stone tha. Kyuki liver mein tumour tha toh liver ka kuch portion, kuch per cent, woh bhi cut kiya hai uske saath. Us mein koi stress waali baat nahi hai kyuki liver ek aisa organ hai jo khud ko regenerate karta hai (Her tumour was taken out nicely. The gall bladder was also taken out after surgery because of a stone. Because the liver had a tumour, some portion, a small percentage of it, was also cut. There is nothing to stress about it since the liver is an organ that regenerates itself)." He added that Dipika's tumour was sent for biopsy, and the result will take a few days.

Talking about their son Ruhaan, he shared that the toddler stayed three days without Dipika. On the last day, he cried and was brought to the hospital to meet Dipika. After spending time with his mother, he returned home.
