Actor Dipika Kakar has been battling liver cancer for over two years. She has experienced significant weight loss, which her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, attributed to the side effects of immunotherapy. In his latest YouTube vlog, Shoaib addressed concerns about Dipika’s health and warned YouTube channels and content creators against spreading misinformation about her diet and weight loss.
In a recent video shared on his YouTube channel, Shoaib Ibrahim addressed questions about Dipika Kakar’s weight loss. He said, “A lot of people have been asking how Dipika has lost her weight. She has lost 12 kgs and we pray that no one loses weight this way. While she has restrictions in her diet, the weight loss is because of the immunotherapy. The weight loss is a side effect of the immunotherapy. You can’t eat, and you feel nauseous. Every two days, Dipika keeps vomiting. Those who undergo immunotherapy or chemotherapy become weak.”

Dipika added, “In the beginning, I lost 5-6 kgs through diet. The weight loss that happened in this one and a half months is because of immunotherapy.”
Shoaib Ibrahim went on to warn all those spreading wrong information about Dipika’s weight loss. He said, “We are seeing a few channels that are giving wrong information around Dipika’s diet. They are using old photos. Some people are believing it, which is wrong. Don’t follow anyone’s diet randomly. Always go to a doctor. You can follow basic things like reducing carb intake and cutting down sugar, but don’t blindly follow.”
Shoaib added, “Those giving wrong information, this is the last time I am telling you, guys. After this, we will have to give a strike to your channel.” Dipika chimed in, “It is like misleading the audience.” Shoaib further reiterated, “We don’t wish anyone to have weight loss this way. She has restrictions in her diet. Sweets are not allowed, and carbs and wheat intake have been stopped. But right now she eats very little; that’s how she has lost weight. Don’t trust any videos you watch about her diet.”
Dipika Kakar on side effects of immunotherapy
Dipika Kakar, who started her immunotherapy in June, spoke about its side effects in July. In one of her vlogs, Dipika said, “After the first immunotherapy cycle, my body has been adjusting to the new chemotherapy cycles. There are side effects. After the first cycle, I got viral fever, and I felt too low. After the second cycle, I am getting body rashes, and there is itching. I am getting used to this new normal. It has been 3-4 days since the second cycle, and I am dealing with the side effects. I am being strong, and I am feeling better mentally.”
