Dipika Kakar's Brave Battle: Liver Cancer & New Treatment
12 Sep
Summary
- Dipika Kakar is undergoing immunotherapy for Stage 2 liver cancer.
- She has experienced significant weight loss due to treatment side effects.
- Nausea and other side effects have led her to quit tea consumption.
Actress Dipika Kakar is currently undergoing immunotherapy infusions as part of her treatment for Stage 2 liver cancer. Her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, recently revealed in a vlog that the intensive treatments have caused her to lose a significant amount of weight. This transformation has made her resemble her appearance from earlier times, a result of rigorous treatments, diet, and a dedicated wellness routine.
Kakar has been documenting her health journey on YouTube, detailing the side effects of her immunotherapy. She disclosed that severe nausea and vomiting, experienced since the infusions began, have caused her to quit drinking tea entirely. Previously, she had limited her tea intake as part of a strict diet regimen.
Following her Stage 2 liver cancer diagnosis, Kakar underwent a 14-hour surgery to remove the tumor. While initially declared cancer-free, a new cyst discovered in February 2026 prompted doctors to recommend immunotherapy, alongside frequent scans and blood tests. She continues to manage side effects such as nausea and mouth ulcers while focusing on nutritious food and regular exercise.
