Dipika Kakar on Severe Hair Loss Post Cancer Surgery: "This is Very Scary..."

Dipika Kakar has been sharing health updates for the last few months after undergoing surgery for stage 2 liver cancer. In her recent vlog, Dipika opened up about how she has become accustomed to the treatment's negative effects, although experiencing excessive hair loss still makes her scared. Previously, she shared how she had to stay away from her son during her recuperation period post-surgery.

"The Hair fall is Very Scary..."

Speaking about the excessive hair loss, Dipika shared, “I have rested the whole day today because I was very low. The side effects are present, but I have grown accustomed to them now. Just the hairfall is very scary. Bahut jyada baal gir rahe hain. Main jab nahake aati hun, main 10-15 min chup rehti hun, kisi se baat nahi karti, because hairfall is a lot (My hair is falling excessively. After taking a bath, I stay quiet for 10–15 minutes and don't talk to anyone because the hair fall is a lot). That is very scary for me."

Furthermore, Dipika shared some medical details about her treatment. She noted that the results of the tumor marker tests and LFT she undertook after three months were normal.

Dipika on Recovery Post Cancer Surgery:

Earlier, in another vlog, she shared that long after her surgery, she was able to hold her son Ruhaan on her lap again. Dipika said, “Ruhaan can sleep on my lap now after surgery as the stitches are finally healed. I can't carry him, but he can lie on my lap and sleep." She was quite emotional as she noted that it was a very precious moment as she was always worried if she would be able to fulfil her motherhood duties post-surgery.

Dipika underwent a 14-hour surgery back in June. Later, her husband Shoaib Ibrahim disclosed that, while Dipika has no cancer cells at the moment, the tumor was highly aggressive and there is a risk of recurrence. 

On the Work Front:

Dipika was last seen on 'Celebrity MasterChef'. However, she had to leave the event in the middle owing to an arm injury caused by intense physical exertion.
