Tejasswi Prakash admits knowing about Dipika Kakar's Stage 2 liver cancer before others

Dipika Kakar has just had surgery for a tumour in her liver. The actress was having abdominal pain for quite some time. After a few tests, the doctors found a tumour in the size of a small ball in the lobe of her liver. After a few days, she confirmed on social media that the tumour is indeed malignant. Dipika Kakar has undergone surgery at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital of Mumbai. It is known as one of India’s best cancer hospitals. Hina Khan and Mahima Chaudhary also had their breast cancer treatment there. Shoaib Ibrahim informed fans that the operation was successful and she had been shifted to the ICU after the same.

Tejasswi Prakash who was with her on Celebrity Masterchef said she knew about her diagnosis before it became public. After hearing that she had a tumour, Tejasswi messaged her. She said in an interview that she was worried knowing that it is a malignant tumour. The actress said she did not call her up as she might be recuperating after the surgery.

"I did message her. I did ask her. Even before it came out in the news, she told me that it's malignant. Obviously, she sounded worried, and I'm worried for her also. She has gone into surgery today. I don't want to keep bothering her as much as I want to kind of reach out to her."
