Mumbai: TV actress Dipika Kakar returned to television after four years by joining Celebrity MasterChef India. Sadly, she had to leave the show because of a shoulder injury. Her co-contestant, actress Usha Nadkarni, confirmed the news.
Dipika had visited a doctor and briefly came back to the show, but her pain worsened. Her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, shared that her old injury got worse due to too much physical activity. Doctors advised her to rest, so she had to quit the competition.
Shiv Thakare Might Join as a Wildcard
With Dipika leaving, the show’s makers are considering a wildcard entry. Reality TV star Shiv Thakare has reportedly been approached to join the show, but there is no official confirmation yet.
Shiv became famous after appearing on MTV Roadies Rising and winning Bigg Boss Marathi Season 2. He also participated in Bigg Boss 16, Khatron Ke Khiladi 13, and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11.
