Dipika Kakar Quits Celebrity Masterchef Due To Shoulder Injury
While Dipika’s exit episode will air in the coming week, she addressed her decision in her YouTube Vlog. “Unfortunately, my journey on Celebrity MasterChef has ended. Last week there was an episode celebrating festivals, but I wasn’t able to watch it. It was during the shooting of this episode that my shoulder pain aggravated. It pained me so much that the production team had to rush me to the nearby hospital. Since it was the left shoulder everyone was scared, however, the ECG was normal,” shared Dipika.
She further added, “Later on, we figured that I have lymph nodes near my left shoulder. I was put on medication and I returned to the show. The medicine course was over and after 4-5 days I could feel the pain again. Despite the pain, I went to shoot since it was a commitment, but by the end of the day, my condition worsened. I still completed my dish and visited the doctor again where we learned that there had been some kind of an injury in my left arm’s muscle. There could be many reasons for an injury. It could be age-related, but it is very difficult to determine if it happened some years ago. This diagnosis has no specific treatment. I wear a sling occasionally. When the pain is too much, the arm has to be immobilized. I have to be very cautious about straining my left shoulder.”
