"Main joh ek jagah tikk ke baith nahi paati thi, yahan wahan ghoomte rehna, kuch na kuch khurafat karte rehte (I was not able to sit in one place, I used to roam here and there, keep doing some mischief or the other)," she shared with a smile. She added, "And suddenly I've nothing to do. Of course, the doctor has advised me to keep moving my body. But there are days when I feel I just need to rest and do nothing."

"There is something as Target therapy which I'll start from next week. During oral Target therapy, I'll have to take a tablet," she said. Despite the physical challenges, Dipika shared a silver lining that she has returned to her first love: writing. "I started writing since the time Shoaib came into my life.
