Shoaib Ibrahim's father admitted to ICU after suffering brain stroke; Next few hours very critical

Sasural Simar Ka fame Shoaib Ibrahim's father has been admitted to the hospital after suffering another brain stroke. He was taken to the hospital on Saturday and was admitted to the ICU. The actor took to his Instagram handle and shared a health update about his father. Shoaib Ibrahim requested everyone to pray for his father, as the next 24 hours are said to be very crucial for his health.

Sharing a Story on his Instagram handle, Shoaib wrote, “Need all your prayers & duas for Papa. Papa again had a stroke this morning and has been admitted to the ICU. Please, please keep him in your prayers. The next 24 hrs are crucial (sic)."

For the uninitiated, Shoaib Ibrahim’s father has faced several health complications in the past too. Back in July 2021, he suffered a major brain stroke and was also admitted to the ICU at that time.

During those critical moments, Shoaib Ibrahim and his wife Dipika Kakar urged netizens to pray for his speedy recovery.

Shoaib then took to his social media account and revealed that his father was doing fine. He also revealed that the stroke did not impact the veins in the brain, but his father was kept under observation in the ICU for many days. However, after the stroke, Shoaib Ibrahim’s father was left partially paralysed on the left side of his body.

Things have been difficult for the Ibrahim family since last year after Dipika Kakar was diagnosed with a tumour in her liver cancer. She battled stage 2 liver cancer and as part of her treatment, she had to undergo a tumour removal surgery in June 2025.

Later, Sasural Simar Ka actress Dipika Kakar shared that she was finally tumour-free after undergoing a successful surgery. But she was diagnosed with another cyst a few months ago. She is currently following a strict diet and taking care of her eating and workout routines.

Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim have openly shared updates about Dipika’s health journey through their vlogs on their YouTube channel.

On the work front, while Shoaib Ibrahim was last seen in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Dipika Kakar was part of Celebrity MasterChef, but had to quit the show due to shoulder injury.
