Just a day before tragedy struck Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, popular television couple Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim were vacationing in the region with their one-year-old son, Ruhaan. The family had been sharing serene glimpses of their trip on social media, unaware that the picturesque ‘Mini Switzerland’ would soon become the site of a devastating terror attack that claimed over 27 lives and left 12 injured.

Fans were quick to express concern after news of the April 22 attack broke, especially since Dipika had recently posted videos of herself strolling in Pahalgam. The sudden juxtaposition of the scenic beauty and the horrifying violence left many shaken.

To calm fears, Shoaib posted an Instagram story late Tuesday, assuring everyone:
“Hi friends, you all are worried about our well-being... We are all safe, fine. This morning we left Kashmir and reached Delhi safely. Thank you for your concern.”

A Special Family Trip Amid Rumors

This trip was especially significant for the couple—it marked their first vacation with son Ruhaan. The outing also came amid persistent divorce rumors, which the couple firmly dispelled in a recent vlog. In a candid moment, Shoaib teased Dipika, saying, “You didn’t tell me that another marriage is breaking in the industry—and it’s ours.” Dipika playfully shot back, “Why should I tell you?” putting the gossip to rest with humor and warmth.

As the region grapples with the aftermath of the attack, the couple’s safe return comes as a small relief for fans amid a tragic week.
