The nurses were also extremely kind and positive. Several others, family members of other patients were so nice and kind to me. I am feeling much much better. I was suffering when I got cough. Every time I coughed, it hurt the stitches. I don’t think I can talk more. I will speak when I recover and feel better.”Shoaib Ibrahim started the vlog with a clip of his wife Dipika Kakar walking on her own and eating solids as she was on a liquid diet post her surgery. Addressing his fans, Shoaib said, “She is recovering well. She has some pain and in between she developed cough, which hurt her stitches. But, now she is doing better. After the surgery, she finally slept in peace about last night. She was in the ICU for the three days, and she was panicking the whole time. The tubes in her nose scared her.”ALSO READ | Ed Sheeran recalls visiting Arijit Singh’s hometown in West Bengal: ‘We scooted around the village to see the sunset and moon’Shoaib shared how people who undergo surgery are prone to infections.

He said, “This entire episode reminded me of the time when dad was admitted in the hospital. But then too we came out of the phase, and I am hoping now too we will get through this. We have been quite positive this whole time, but being human you do come across certain negative thoughts.”The actor added, “Ever since we learnt that Dipika has this tumour, things have been really hard for us, especially the last few days when she underwent the surgery. And things are going to be more difficult in the coming days until she fully recovers.
