In the video, Shoaib also cleared the air around Dipika having a needle around her neck. He said, “A lot of you showed concerns about the needle around Dipika’s neck, it is actually IV. Usually, doctors put it on your hand but at times of surgery, they insert it on the neck.”

The actor added, “After she was out of ICU, the doctor suggested her to keep it as her hands had become puffy and would hurt her.”
Just before getting discharged, the doctors removed the IV from her neck and stitches around her waist, which caused her a little discomfort. “After they took out the thing from the waist, it is hurting a bit,” said Dipika.
Dipika Kakar was diagnosed with the tumour in her liver in May. The actress took to her Instagram handle to share the news with her fans.

I am all positive and determined to face this and walk out stronger InshAllah! With my entire family being by my side… and all the love and prayers pouring in from all of you I will sail through this too!”
