​Dipika Kakar gets emotional after visiting Ajmer Sharif Dargah with Shoaib Ibrahim and son; says 'Jab Ruhaan NICU mein tha tab maine mannat maangi thi'

Shoaib Ibrahim and his wife, Dipika Kakar, recently made a trip to Ajmer Sharif Dargah, documenting the experience in their latest vlog. In the video, Shoaib mentioned that they had been hoping to visit the shrine for the past three years, but each time it got delayed due to unexpected circumstances. Shoaib Ibrahim mentioned that he had brought a nice plain kurta set to wear for his visit to Ajmer Sharif Dargah, along with another option, but neither fit well as both were too loose. As a result, he decided to wear a T-shirt and pair it with a jacket instead, which he planned to wear during the visit. (Photo: Instagram)

​Divine calling to visit

Further in the video, Shoaib revealed that they had planned to leave early morning for the dargah, but they ended up getting late. Shoaib added that they hadn’t been able to visit for the past three years. He explained that they had planned to go after Ruhaan’s birth, but Dipika was still healing, and then Jhalak happened, so the trip kept getting postponed. Shoaib further said that people make intentions every day, but circumstances often get in the way. Referring to Ajmer Sharif Dargah as Khawaja Sahib, he mentioned that perhaps this time it felt like they had finally received a divine calling to visit. (Photo: Instagram)

Shoaib, Dipika and family stopped at a dhabha on the highway to have some food. The Ajooni actor revealed that Dipika misplaced her phone twice but luckly, they found it. (Photo: Instagram)

​Shoaib's heart at peace

Shoaib recalled on his earlier visits to the Dargah of Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz, saying that this time felt very different. He shared that an unusual calm had settled in his heart and a special kind of joy had taken over him because, for the first time, he had come to Ajmer Sharif with his son, Ruhaan. (Photo: Instagram)

​Shoaib always wished to return to the Dargah with his son

Shoaib recalled how, when Ruhaan was born, he had been in the NICU in a critical condition. In those moments, although he believed that all prayers ultimately go to Allah, his heart instinctively turned to Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz, asking him to pray for Ruhaan’s recovery. He said that those prayers were answered, and since then he had always wished to return to the Dargah with his son. He added that the opportunity never came earlier, but now seeing Ruhaan with him at the shrine felt deeply fulfilling. (Photo: Instagram)

​Dipika wished to remain there for some more time

Shoaib shared that now, with Ruhaan and Dipika both doing well health-wise, he felt his long-awaited prayer had finally been answered. His heart, he said, could only express gratitude. After offering their prayers, the visit went peacefully. He mentioned that Dipika became a bit emotional and wished to remain there for some more time, but due to the heavy crowd, they had no choice but to leave sooner than they wanted. (Photo: Instagram)

​Dipika became extremely emotional

Shoaib said that returning after three years felt overwhelming, especially because so much had happened in that time. He mentioned that Dipika became extremely emotional and couldn’t hold back her tears. According to him, reaching a place where their faith runs deep brought them immense comfort and calm. He added that both of them have a strong belief in Khawaja Saheb, and Dipika herself often says that her faith in him is unwavering. (Photo: Instagram)

​Dipika - Maine Mannat mangi thi jab Ruhaan NICU mein tha

Dipika said she has visited the Dargah at every important point in her life. Her first visit was with Shoaib when their relationship had just begun. They went again around the time of their wedding. She returned once more after winning Bigg Boss. She said, "Maine mannat maangi thi jab Ruhaan NICU mein tha." She had made a heartfelt vow for his recovery. Coming again now felt significant to her. She expressed that she truly feels the blessings and presence of Khawaja Sahib with her. (Photo: Instagram)
