Dipika Kakar on TV Comeback Amid Treatment: ‘Why Would Anyone Cast Me With This Treatment?’

Dipika Kakar has opened up about returning to daily television while continuing her treatment, explaining that the demanding schedule of a daily soap is currently beyond what she can manage. The actress, however, said she is able to take on shorter projects and is currently working on a music video with husband Shoaib Ibrahim.

Dipika Kakar has addressed the possibility of making a comeback to daily television amid her ongoing health treatment.

The Sasural Simar Ka actress recently spoke about her professional plans in a vlog, explaining that while she can manage a shorter shoot, the long and continuous hours required for a daily soap would currently be difficult for her.

Dipika has been undergoing regular treatment as part of her recovery. She said the treatment comes with side effects that affect how much work she can comfortably take on.

Dipika Kakar Says Daily Soap Is Not Possible Right Now

Dipika recently attended dance rehearsals and revealed that she is also shooting for a music video with Shoaib Ibrahim.

The shorter format has allowed her to return to work in a limited capacity. However, when discussing a possible return to daily television, Dipika said her current health situation makes that difficult.

In her vlog, she explained that a daily soap requires long working hours and consistency, something she does not currently feel capable of maintaining.

“Is waqt meri condition dekhte hue daily toh mujhe nahi lagta main kar paungi. And obviously, koi mujhe aise treatment ke saath cast kyun karega?”

Dipika added that treatment and its side effects are realities she has to take into account when deciding what professional commitments she can undertake.

She contrasted this with the music video, which requires a much shorter commitment.

“Gaana ek din ka shoot definitely manage kiya ja sakta hai.”

Her comments indicate that she is not ruling out working altogether. Instead, she appears to be choosing projects based on what her current health and treatment schedule allow.

Why Dipika Kakar Is Choosing Shorter Projects

A daily television serial can involve extended shooting schedules and frequent appearances because episodes have to be produced continuously.

For Dipika, that kind of routine is currently more demanding than a one-day or limited-duration project.

Her decision also comes after a period in which health concerns forced her to step back from professional commitments. She participated in Celebrity MasterChef 2025 but eventually left the reality show midway amid health-related difficulties.

The actress has since continued to keep fans updated about aspects of her recovery through social media and vlogs.

Dipika Kakar Underwent Major Surgery in 2025

Dipika’s recent health journey became public in 2025 when she underwent major surgery after doctors identified a stage 2 liver tumour, according to reports at the time.

The actress underwent a reportedly lengthy surgery in June 2025. Her subsequent treatment and recovery have involved further medical care, including the regular infusions and immunotherapy referenced in her recent updates.

Because medical treatment and recovery can vary considerably from person to person, Dipika’s experience should be understood as her individual health journey rather than a general indication of recovery timelines.

What Dipika Said About Her Television Comeback

Fans have been waiting to see Dipika return to fiction television, particularly after her popular performances in shows such as Sasural Simar Ka.

Her most recent daily soap was Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum, which aired in 2019. The actress has since appeared in reality television and other projects, but a full-time return to a daily serial has not materialised.

There have also been reports and online speculation about a possible upcoming television project featuring Dipika alongside Vivian Dsena. However, there is currently no confirmed announcement establishing that she has signed such a show.

Dipika’s latest comments suggest that, for now, her focus is on managing her health while taking on work that fits around her treatment.

Dipika Kakar’s Return to Work Is Gradual

The music video with Shoaib Ibrahim marks a more manageable form of professional activity for the actress.

Her participation in dance rehearsals and the music project also shows that she is gradually exploring work while remaining mindful of the limitations created by her treatment.

Rather than announcing a full television comeback, Dipika has made it clear that her current priority is finding a balance between recovery and professional commitments.

For viewers who have followed her career since Sasural Simar Ka, her latest update offers a more realistic picture of why returning to the demanding routine of a daily soap is not yet on the immediate horizon.
