Shoaib Ibrahim also treated fans to the first glimpse of his upcoming music video Tu Saath Nahi Hai. Sharing the poster, Shoaib wrote, “Some stories aren’t told… they’re felt. Presenting the first look of our upcoming song, Tu Saath Nahi Hai.”
Shoaib Ibrahim shares father’s health update
In his latest YouTube vlog, Shoaib Ibrahim provided a health update on his father, who has been hospitalised since suffering a brain haemorrhage in May. Talking about his condition, Shoaib shared, “Visually, papa is looking much better; the smaller issues are recovering on a day-to-day basis. His physiotherapy is going on, and he can be discharged in the next 4-5 days.”
Dipika Kakar also shared an update on her health in her last vlog. She said, “Last few days since papa was hospitalised have been very difficult because I also simultaneously had scans, and my immunotherapy started. As for my health update, we have had one infusion of double immunotherapy. The next one will happen soon. My immunotherapy will happen through IV, and there are no side effects as such as of now.”
“When such heavy drugs go into your body, you do feel lethargic. I experienced a lot of back pain. I also got a mild fever. The reports are normal, so these side effects are not due to the medicine. Going forward, immunotherapy will continue, and blood tumor markers and scans will have to be done. Meanwhile, we also ran other blood tests to deeply study the cancer. We did too many things, and all of it has been the toughest for Shoaib. He has already been very stressed about me, and when papa had this, it was very difficult for him. Please keep supporting him; he needs it the most right now. He is strongly facing all of it. When I had my first immunotherapy, he wanted to stay by my side. He is going through the toughest phase right now. I always stood by him in the hospital, but this time I couldn’t because of my health. We also have to give time to Ruhaan. These are testing times, and we are hopeful that it will all be well,” Dipika added.
On the work front, Shoaib Ibrahim has produced a new music video under his production banner Qalb. Apart from vlogging on YouTube, Dipika Kakar has also been busy running her apparel brand.
