Shoaib captioned the story, “Dipi aur mere liye papa ki taraf se eidi aayee. Eid Mubarak.”
On June 6th, Shoaib shared a vlog in where he informed fans about Dipika's surgery and gave her health update, he even thanked the fans for their prayers for Dipika. Shoaib shared, "Tomorrow is Eid Al Adha and today on such an auspicious day Dipika is out of the ICU. I am really grateful that she is out of the ICU and she is with us. She was in the ICU for three days and her condition kept improving after the surgery. Around the evening, the doctors decided to shift her to the room. She will be here for a few days as the surgery was major, she was in the OT for 14 hours."
He further shared, "We all were tensed as doctors had mentioned it would be a long surgery. She was taken in at 8:30 am and she came out of the OT at 11:30 pm. I then met her when they shifted her to the ICU. At 6-7 pm, we all panicked as there was no update from the OT as we had never witnessed such a serious surgery. Thankfully, the doctor had assured me that if they don't come out for updates, then the surgery is going fine and she will be all well."
Shoaib mentioned about how Dipika also had a stone in her gallbladder which got removed during the surgery, "The doctors even removed Dipika's gallbladder as they detected stone and they had to cut a small portion of the liver as the tumor was cancerous. The doctors mentioned that the liver is a self-restorative organ so it shall heal itself with time. So it is not something to be stressed about but we have to stay cautious and take good care."
