OPINION: From fighting negativity together to showcasing love for each other's families, 4 reasons why we think Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim are the IT couple
Unfortunately, Shoaib Ibrahim and Dipika are currently facing one of the most challenging times in their lives. On May 16, Shoaib announced that Dipika has been diagnosed with a tennis ball-sized tumor in her left liver. This diagnosis came after she experienced significant stomach pain and underwent several tests. While Dipika's treatment is ongoing, Shoaib has been a steadfast support for her throughout this ordeal. Their unwavering love and support for each other have consistently touched our hearts.
Here's why we think Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim are the IT couple:
1- Fighting negativity together
Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim have always been open and honest with their fans. They share their most vulnerable moments while keeping their admirers updated on their lives. However, with love also comes unwanted opinions. There have been instances where they faced trolling. For example, when Dipika was criticized for her loud voice, Shoaib responded by saying that her voice is music to his ears and that he doesn't care about others' opinions.
When Dipika took a break from work for her pregnancy and to spend time with their son, Ruhaan, trolls targeted Shoaib and his family. There were negative comments accusing him of not allowing Dipika to work. In response, Dipika clarified multiple times that she had chosen to take a break and had not quit the industry. She silenced the trolls by later returning to work on Celebrity MasterChef. Throughout these challenges, the couple stood by each other as a strong support system, demonstrating their love.
Take a look at the post here-
2- Immense love for each other
Dipika and Shoaib fell in love during their stint in Sasural Simar Ka. Dipika, who was married previously, parted ways with her first husband during her stint in Sasural Simar Ka. After which, Shoaib was accused for Dipika's divorce. However, Dipika had clarified how Shoaib wasn't the reason for her separation and had expressed how he had supported her during the tough phase. The actress had even praised Shoaib for not letting her past affect their relationship.
From the time the couple made their relationship public, fans have only seen both of them go miles beyond to make each other feel special. The couple's relationship has been an inspiration for many. Despite coming from different backgrounds and having different faiths, Dipika and Shoaib managed to make their relationship work, showcasing that loves knows no boundaries.
Their relationship is built on mutual respect, trust and understanding. They have been open about their journey, sharing their experiences and challenges with their fans. This transparency has helped them build a strong bond with their audience, who admire their love and commitment to each other.
3- Pampering each other
What is love if it cannot be expressed? Dipika and Shoaib truly know how to make each other feel special. From Dipika cooking Shoaib's favorite dishes to him surprising her with her favorite products and thoughtful gestures, they consistently go out of their way to bring joy to one another.
4- Family Oriented Approach
It is well known that both Shoaib and Dipika hold their families in high regard. Over the years, they have showcased their strong family bonds in their vlogs, and it's clear that their family members are truly important to them. Dipika tends to the needs and preferences of Shoaib's family, while Shoaib looks after Dipika's family as well. Recently, Shoaib even gifted a house to Dipika's mother, proving to be a devoted son-in-law. Their love for their families highlights how great partners they truly are.
Promising to stand by each other through thick and thin is not everyone's cup of tea. However, those who find someone willing to do this for them truly win in life. Similarly, Shoaib and Dipika, are among the few celebrities who have endured much together. From facing backlash for their inter-caste marriage to being trolled on numerous occasions, the duo has encountered immense challenges but emerged stronger due to their love, support, understanding, and respect for each other, thus proving that they are the IT couple of the industry.

Who Is Vibhu Agarwal? All About Ullu App Founder, His Education And Journey
Last Updated: Vibhu Agarwal began his entrepreneurial journey as the founder and director of a steel company called Jaypeeco India Private Limited in 1995. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) has banned 25 OTT platforms and their related mobile apps, including popular names like Ullu, ALTBalaji (ALTT), Hulchul and MoodX. Sources suggest that these sites were found showing vulgar, obscene, and, in some cases, pornographic content without meaningful stories or social messages. While ALTT functions as a subsidiary of Ektaa Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms, the ULLU app was founded by media entrepreneur Vibhu Agarwal. You must be aware of ALTBalaji's founder, Ektaa Kapoor, but let us delve deep into the ULLU app's founder, his educational qualifications and digital platforms. Vibhu Agarwal earned his BTech from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur. He then pursued an MBA degree in Japan, followed by a PhD from Stanford University in the United States. He has been active in business for the last 32 years. As per his LinkedIn profile, Vibhu began his entrepreneurial journey as the founder and director of a steel company called Jaypeeco India Private Limited in 1995. He has also been director at Himalaya Fibretech Cement Pvt Ltd. since 2006, chairman of the board at Shri Jayprakash Charitable Trust since 2010, managing director of Business News Link since 2012, and chairman of the board at Jaypee Convent Schools since 2012. What's The Matter? The action by the I&B Ministry was taken as the content on these platforms broke important Indian laws. These OTT platforms were found showing content with strong sexual hints and long scenes that showed nudity and adult acts. Most of these shows or videos didn't have any real story, instead, they mostly focused on bold and inappropriate visuals. As per Storyboard18, the central government made it clear that digital platforms and intermediaries must follow the rules in accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021. The decision demands the OTT platforms remove or block access to any unlawful content shared on their sites. The list of banned OTT platforms includes ALTBalaji (ALTT), Ullu, MoodX, Sol Talkies, Adda TV, HotX VIP, NeonX VIP, Desiflix, Mojflix, Triflicks, Boomex, ShowX, Hulchul App, Big Shots App, Navarasa Lite, Wow Entertainment, Gulab App, Kangan App, Bull App, Jalva App, Look Entertainment, Hitprime, Fugi, Feneo and ShowHit. view comments First Published: July 27, 2025, 07:30 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
