Dipika further added, “Mera toh na surgery ke baad aisa hua hai ke suddenly, everything had changed. It has changed a lot. Main joh ek jagah tikk ke baith nahi paati thi, yahan wahan ghoomte rehna, kuch na kuch khurafat karte rehte and suddenly I’ve nothing to do. Of course, doctor has advised me to keep movement in the body. But there are days when I feel I just need to rest and do nothing.” (Photo: Instagram)

Dipika shared how she doesn’t feel the same, “I don’t have energy like before. Suddenly, there a lot of changes, like I can’t lift Ruhaan in arms. I can’t play with him like before because of the stitches, I can’t lift weight. Ruhaan comes all excited towards me and asks me to lift him up, but when I can’t, he gets upset and goes away. Woh ek cheez hai joh mujhe bahot pareshaan karti hai. I’m sure things will improve with time.” (Photo: Instagram)

The Sasural Simar Ka actress further shared about her health, “A lot of you are asking me about my health so let me inform you that it’s been a month to my surgery. Last month on June 3, I was operated so it’s been a month. I have done the follow-up with the doctor also. By God’s grace my stitches are healing well.” (Photo: Instagram)

Dipika opened up about her next treatment, “The future treatment has also been decided. There is something as Target therapy which I’ll start from next week. During oral Target therapy, I’ll have to take a tablet. I just pray that my body is able to tolerate the future treatments also like how it has done till now. Because everything has a side-effect and I’m sure iska bhi hoga. Just praying and keeping my faith.” (Photo: Instagram)

Dipika further spoke about how she is trying to make the most of her time these days. She says, “I’m utilising this free time in a very good way. I’m trying a lot of natural treatments on myself. The second thing I’m doing is I’m resumed pursuing my old hobby. I used to write. I started writing since the time Shoaib came into my life. Most of you must be knowing this about me. So I’ve once again started writing poems.” (Photo: Instagram)See more: Dipika Kakar reveals not being able to lift son Ruhaan after undergoing liver tumour surgery; says, “I don’t have energy like before”​

The Bigg Boss 12 winner narrated when she decided to pursue her hobby, “One day I was sitting and took out my old diary. Once i started reading, I realised I am good at writing as I was reading after a long gap. I felt I should continue writing again. So whatever I’ve gone through in the last one month, whatever I’ve felt as a patient, I’ve tried to put everything in words. Kuch likha hai maine. The old poems are also descent enough.” (Photo: Instagram)

Dipika said, “Some of the poems which I wrote when Shoaib and I had started dating, I was shocked to read because the things I’ve mentioned there in the initial days of our relationship, all the things are so relatable now. He actually proved all that I’ve written there about him. Ek dum khare utare hain Shoaib un baaton par...I got so emotional and overwhelmed reading them.” (Photo: Instagram)

Further in the vlog, Dipika spoke about her reunion with her old friend and actress Sonalee Kulkarni. She shared, “I did not shoot any vlog that day when she came to meet me. Sonali and I are classmates. We were the dancing Jodis in school. She used to always choreograph all our dance sequences for the competition. Because you all know how an amazing dancer, she is. When I joined the same school in class 6, she asked me to join her. We have maintained our friendship till now.” (Photo: Instagram)

Speaking about her friendship with Sonalee, Dipika said, “Since I was not doing well, she came to meet me and in fact she was the one who brought me in the field of acting. From convincing me to getting my first photo shoot done, everything was done by Sonalee. She was always a very big support. She used to always tell me “Dipi you should try, you should go.” I was telling Sonali the other day that there are some bonds in life which are very precious and this is one of those.” (Photo: Instagram)

I would love to, kyunki maine apne doctors se bhi poocha hai ki main kab kaam kar sakti hoon. Mera actual plan yehi tha ke jab Ruhaan ki feeding choot jaayegi uske baad I’ll plan, get fit again and get back to work. But ye sab hogaya hai aur iss tarike se hoga ye nahi socha tha. But yes, I would love to once the doctor gives me a green signal. I think ye aane waala kuch waqt mere liye bahot zaruri hai, bahot crucial hai in terms of my health because my body has to take the target therapy and accept it well. Once it done, it will be my new normal, then I can do everything with the new normal. Aisa hona chahiye… (Photo: Instagram)
