YouTuber and actor Shoaib Ibrahim has penned an emotional note on Instagram, sharing that his wife Dipika Kakar is set to undergo a long surgery on June 3, and asked all his fans to keep her in their prayers. Dipika has been diagnosed with stage two liver cancer. 

Shoaib Ibrahim Shares An Update:

Shoaib took to Instagram Stories to post a note sharing an update on Dipika's surgery. Earlier, her surgery was delayed due to a viral infection and flu-like symptoms. He shared that June 3 will be a big day in their life, with Dipika undergoing surgery.

"She Needs All Your Prayers..."

"Dippi's surgery is scheduled to happen tomorrow morning. It's going to be a long surgery... she needs all your prayers & strength the most ... please keep her in your prayers," he wrote in the note. He also shared several folded hand emojis with the note.

Last week, taking to his YouTube channel, Shoaib and Dipika spoke at length about her health. They said that the surgery, which was scheduled for that week, has been postponed as Dipika hasn't recovered from the flu yet.

Dipika also revealed that doctors assured them that she would be cured after the tumour was surgically removed. He also shared that Dipika was experiencing pain due to a stone in her gall bladder.
