Dipika Kakar Battles Massive Hair Loss
In her latest latest vlog, Dipika Kakar shared how extreme hairfall is making her scared these days. “I have rested the whole day today because I was very low. The side effects are there, but I have become very used to it now. Just the hairfall is very scary. Bahoot zayada baal gir rahe hain. Main jab nahake aati hun, main 10-15 min chup rehti hun, kisi se baat nahi karti because hairfall is a lot (My hair is falling excessively. After taking a bath, I stay quiet for 10–15 minutes and don’t talk to anyone because the hair fall is a lot). That is very fearful for me,” she said.
Adding more, she said, “I have already shared my reports in Shoaib’s vlog. Jo reports humne 3 mahine ke baad ke tumour marker ke tests kiye aur LFT wagera kiya, voh sab normal aaya hai (The reports of the tumour marker tests and LFT we did after three months came normal). Tumour marker were very normal so doctor advised not to do the FAPI Scan right now but after 2 months. So that’s about it.”
