Shoaib Ibrahim Attributes Dipika Kakar's 12 Kg Weight Loss to Immunotherapy Side EffectsPreviousNext

Actor Dipika Kakar has lost 12 kg during her liver cancer treatment, primarily due to immunotherapy side effects such as nausea and vomiting, as explained by her husband Shoaib Ibrahim. While initial weight loss was linked to dietary changes, recent losses stem from treatment. Shoaib warned against misinformation about her diet circulating online, urging people to consult doctors before following any diet plans. An oncologist highlighted the importance of monitoring unintentional weight loss during cancer therapy.
