Dipika Kakar on cancer treatment
Speaking to Rashami, Dipika mentioned that the word cancer is itself scary for anyone. "I mean, if anyone is told that they have cancer, something breaks inside them. So that's why Shoaib and I did all the crying in that lobby. We both hugged each other and cried there. But after that, we both decided that we wouldn't cry anymore. Honestly, I have no complaints about not looking good or gaining weight or whether my hair will fall out. You know, throughout all of this, I always told him that I just want to come back fine and be here for Ruhaan."Revealing her first reaction to cancer diagnosis, the actress added, "That was the first time that I sat in the car and I had to give Ruhaan (her son) to my mother as he was crying so much because I couldn't feed him. And I just broke down. At that moment, a prayer came from my heart that if it's cancer, I don't have a complaint. I just want to get fine. I know you will make me better. And then we both broke down there."
