Dipika Kakar gets candid about her cancer journey, says anxiety still haunts her despite normal reports

Dipika Kakar recently opened up about her ongoing journey with liver cancer in an emotional YouTube vlog, giving fans an intimate look at the ups and downs she faces each day.

Joined by her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, the actress shared that even though her latest reports are normal, the anxiety never fully goes away.

“You have to remind yourself that this is nothing, you have to get up and keep going,” she said, reflecting on how challenging it can be to stay positive while navigating such a difficult time.

Speaking candidly about her emotional state, Dipika admitted that the weight of her illness often hits her unexpectedly. “It’s not that I feel overwhelmed all the time, there are days I feel genuinely happy and hopeful. There are days I believe everything is absolutely fine, and that despite such a major issue, things are still okay. Every day brings something different, and the only way forward is to keep going. And that’s exactly what we’re trying to do. I’m going through an emotional breakdown right now. Alhamdulillah, all my reports are normal and things are moving in the right direction. But… there’s still that lingering fear in my heart, even when everything seems okay. I spoke to Somnath Sir about it, and he mentioned how anxiety works. Dr. Imran Shaikh also says the same thing," she shared.
