Dipika Kakar On Entering Bigg Boss 12
During the podcast, when Bharti asked her whether she doubted her decision after joining the show, she shared, “Nahi, kyun aayi nahi hua. Honestly, main jhoot nahi bolungi, main agar kisi cheez mein ghus ti hoon na, to main bahut door tak soch kar jaati hoon.”
She added, “Mujhe jab Bigg Boss pehli baar offer kiya gaya tha, toh pehla sawal yeh tha ki aap kyun mana kar rahi ho. Kyunki main chaar saal se mana kar rahi thi. Phir main gayi thi.”

Dipika Kakar Reveals What Was Her Weak Point During Bigg Boss
The actress revealed she had only one weak point at that time, her husband Shoaib Ibrahim, with whom she had just gotten married.
She shared, “My only weak point was that my communication with Shoaib would break. That was my only weakness. Mujhe aur koi farak nahi padhta. Mujhe koi aake kuch keh le, lad le, haan, main physical fight mein nahi ghusungi. Isliye jab bhi nonsense kuch hota tha, toh main peeche khadi ho jaati thi. Bhai, main dimaag se jitna bolo lad lungi, but mujhe 2-3 ladko ke beech khicha-tani nahi karni thi. That’s not my personality. Toh yeh mere liye ek bada challenge tha.”
Dipika Kakar On Her Post-Surgery Treatment
The actress underwent surgery in June to remove a tumour caused by stage 2 liver cancer. Dipika shared that the procedure successfully eliminated the cancerous cells, and since then, her recovery has been closely monitored through regular blood and tumour marker tests.
She said, “However, I’m currently on oral targeted therapy, which works somewhat like chemotherapy. This treatment will continue for two years, during which we’ll stay vigilant to ensure there’s no recurrence. That’s why periodic scans are necessary to keep everything in check.”
In 2018, Shoaib and Dipika tied the knot in a nikah ceremony. The couple have a two-year-old son, Ruhaan.
