Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim are a beloved couple in the entertainment industry with a large fan base, thanks to their roles in the hit show Sasural Simar Ka. Since becoming a mother, Dipika has taken a hiatus from television, while Shoaib continues to actively work in the TV industry. Fans eagerly anticipate Dipika’s return to the screen and frequently inquire about her plans.
During a recent Q&A session on Instagram, Shoaib Ibrahim fielded various questions from fans. One query addressed to Dipika was, “Dipika mam kyu TV industry join nahi kar rahi hai? (Why is Dipika mam not returning to the TV industry?)”
Dipika responded to the question, explaining her current stance on returning to work. She said, “Simply because iss vaqt mera mann nahi hai. Iska koi reason nahi hai. Life mei har stage par aap koi chiz decide karte ho aur mere taraf se mera pura focus aur commitment jaha hai voh Ruhaan ki taraf hai. (Simply because right now I don’t feel like doing it. There’s no particular reason for it. In life, you have to decide, and for now, my full focus and commitment are towards Ruhaan).”
Elaborating further, the Sasural Simar Ka actress stated, “Mei iss waqt mei voh frame mei nahi hu ki mei bahar jaau, roz shoot pe jau, vaha ek commitment du. Kyuki obviously aap ek shoot lete ho, ek show lete ho toh bohot bada commitment hota hai. Aur mei iss vaqt uss chiz ke liye ready nahi hu (I’m not in that frame of mind to go out and shoot every day and make a commitment. When you start shooting for the show, it’s a big commitment, and I’m not ready for that).”
Dipika did leave the door open for a potential return to television in the future. She added, “Lekin ha ho sakta hai ki kabhi voh vaqt aaye dobara. Jaise Shoaib ne apne vlog mei bola tha, ho sakta hai ki mei dobara decide karu ki now is the time that I can get back (It is possible that time might return. As Shoaib said in his vlog, it is possible that I might decide that now is the time to get back).”
