Dipika Kakar on how her illness has emotionally affected son Ruhaan
In his latest vlog, Shoaib Ibrahim shared an update on Dipika Kakar’s health, revealing that she was set to undergo her second immunotherapy infusion. Shoaib added that he would have to leave Dipika at the hospital during the procedure and return home to be with their son Ruhaan. “Today is Dipika’s second infusion, and we are going for that. Ruhaan was also very cranky today. Over this past month, he has stayed with Dipika more. If Dipika’s infusion is done only by night, I will go back home to him,” Shoaib shared. Dipika further added, “In this one month, Ruhaan has become emotionally fragile. He saw the house empty for so many days, and that affected him. He felt very lonely. When we told him that we would go today, he was not okay. Since morning he kept insisting not to go, but we are making sure that one of us will be with him.”
A few months go, Dipika Kakar said she wasn’t able to give her son time due to her illness. In a vlog in April, Dipika said, “There are so many things going on in my mind. Due to my illness, Shoaib has been stuck with so many things. I am not able to give Ruhaan time sometimes. On the days I am fatigued, I just sleep. If I am in the hospital, I cannot be with Ruhaan. It does change when you are ill, your routine, your priorities change, your body needs rest. ”
