Dipika Kakar, the ‘Sasural Simar Ka’ star, has kept fans close to her heart with updates on her health over the past months. After sharing her battle with stage 2 liver cancer in mid-2025, the actress now faces another small hurdle: a stomach cyst.

The couple explained that trouble started after a recent birthday party. Shoaib shared, “Everything was fine till yesterday. Dipika had mild pain in her stomach for two days, which aggravated more on Friday night. So, we visited the doctor, they got a CT scan done, and we learned that Dipika has gotten another cyst of 13mm.”

What started as mild discomfort quickly turned into a day packed with hospital visits.
Dipika herself opened up about the unusual pain she’s been experiencing. “Along with the stomach, I have been getting the same shoulder pain for two days. That was alarming for us,” she said.
Doctors clarified that the left shoulder pain is unrelated to the cyst easing the couple’s concerns slightly.
Shoaib revealed that the procedure will be minor aimed at ‘burning’ the cyst, and Dipika will be hospitalised for just 3-4 days.
He added, “The doctor had told us that poorly differentiated and very aggressive tumors have chances of recurrence. Even though it’s in early stages now, this didn’t appear in the PT scan we did in December. We have even got blood reports done, and the range is slightly higher.”
Dipika and Shoaib emphasised that apart from this new cyst, her overall health remains normal.
