Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim, both actors on television, married in 2018. Shoaib has now purchased a new home, which he announced on his YouTube channel. Shoaib and Dipika are also seen in the video celebrating their song Rab Ne Milayi Dhadkan reaching one crore views.
Shoaib announced the news, saying, “I have some exciting news to share with you. I’ve finally purchased a home in Mumbai. I moved to Mumbai in 2009 and will be able to buy a home in 2022. The 13-year-old dream is finally coming true. Apne naam se main Mumbai mein ek property le raha hoon (I am buying a new home in Mumbai in my name). The most important consideration is that I am purchasing this property for my mother.”
He added, “Every man fantasises about owning a home and having his name engraved on a nameplate. I tried to do it earlier, but I couldn’t because I had and still have a lot of responsibilities. But things are looking up now, and my younger sister Saba is progressing in her life. Because of your prayers and support, the dream has come true. You’ve all played an important role in my journey.”
Dipika continued, “The apartment and building where we are staying are my first purchases. When Shoaib moved Ammi and the rest of the family to Mumbai, the flat below ours became available for rent, and we took it. Ammi and the rest of the family have been renting the same flat since then.” She went on to say that she is “proud of him.”
