"It deeply affected us, given our emotional investment. Par sab cheezein oopar wale ki marzi se hoti hain. When Dipika conceived again in November 2022, we couldn't believe it at first. She shared the news with me on November 25. Cautious from the previous experience, I suggested not sharing the news immediately."
Shoaib revealed that he and Dipika waited for 20 days before sharing the news with their families. The actor also mentioned that Dipika had some complications, and she was asked to take complete bed rest for the first three months. Shoaib also added that generally, after delivery, people focus on the child and forget about the mother.
