How the pain started

I went to another doctor and after getting sonography done, I have lymph nodes. I was under a medication course. So then I continued with the wall challenge in the show. After completing the course, and 4-5 days later, that pain started. I had to shoot the entire day and I stretched myself till the tasting.

Taking care of the injury

I had to rush to the hospital at night and MRI was done. Doctor found an injury. Now, there’s no treatment or course. It is a slow process. I have to immobilize that part. I have to put in conscious effort. I cannot make any rigorous moment.

Dipika kept pushing herself

I was in a spot regarding what to do. I had to rest for 3-4 days. It had settled a bit. It is a competition and you are giving your best. I cannot block my hand. I kept pushing myself. We were in the wedding special episode and that’s my last. I couldn’t continue beyond that.See more: Shoaib Ibrahim reveals wife Dipika Kakar had aggressive liver cancer tumour with risk of recurrence; Opens up about details of her ongoing treatment

Her last shot in the reality show

It is a reality show and a competition. A daily soap can be handled because you are not required all the time and it can be played around other characters. So I had to give my entire time here. But I have to thank the production team. They have supported me fully. 12th February was my last episode when Hina Khan and Rocky came.

6/6

On her Celebrity MasterChef journey

I have learnt a lot. It was crazy fun. It was very special for me because I was getting to do what I love. I will miss the show. Sometimes things are not in your hands. I don’t even know how the injury happened. Maybe my Celebrity MasterChef was supposed to be till here. Now my focus is to get better and come back with some show.
