TV actor Shoaib Ibrahim recently returned to YouTube with a new vlog after a break of over a month. The video also featured his wife Dipika Kakar, who is currently participating in Celebrity MasterChef. Shoaib revealed that Dipika is recovering from an injury. Along with this, the vlog featured a Q&A session where the couple answered several questions from their fans. During the session, they also addressed a rumour that has been circulating for years which claims that Dipika has a daughter from her first marriage.
Shoaib read out a fan’s query that asked, “Does Dipika have a daughter from her first marriage? Why aren’t you replying?” Responding to the question, he expressed his frustration and disbelief at how such baseless rumours gain attention online. He firmly denied these allegations, saying, “I’m saying it very clear today that this news is fake. The motive of the person who has spread this wrong news is unclear.”
He also shared how these false claims have affected Dipika especially during her pregnancy. Shoaib mentioned that similar rumours had surfaced when Dipika was expecting their son, Ruhaan, which deeply impacted her emotionally. “She was affected mentally. She was told so many things…” he said.
Dipika also spoke about the distress she went through during her pregnancy, after childbirth and while caring for their son. She revealed that despite facing a miscarriage in the past, people continued making hurtful claims about her. Expressing her frustration, she said, “Don’t jump to conclusions. This is so bad and wrong. You are making such a big accusation on a woman who is celebrating her first child, who has suffered a miscarriage, and now she is living her happy life with her first baby.”
The actress also explained how old pictures with her co-actors from Sasural Simar Ka had been misused to spread false news. Some people circulated photos of her with child artists from the show, claiming one of them was her daughter from a previous marriage. Shoaib admitted that these rumours are extremely irritating and often test their patience. He made it clear that such misinformation is spread only to gain online attention.
Shoaib Ibrahim and Dipika Kakar first met in 2011 while working on their show Sasural Simar Ka. They developed a strong friendship, which eventually turned into love. At that time, Dipika was already married but she went through a divorce in 2015. After that, she and Shoaib started dating and spent a few years together before getting married in 2018. In 2023, they welcomed their baby boy, Ruhaan.
