He revealed, “Dipika is not doing well. She is suffering from a serious stomach issue. When I was in Chandigarh, Dipika started having stomach pain. Initially, we thought it was due to acidity, but when the pain did not go away, she consulted our family doctor. He put her on some antibiotics and suggested some blood tests.”
“When we visited him again he asked us to do a CT scan and it showed that Dipika has a tumour in the left lobe of her liver. It is bigger in size like a tennis ball. It was very shocking for us,” he added.
Dipika is scheduled to undergo surgery for her tumour soon.
