Dipika said, "When you grow up in a broken home as a child, I’m not saying that my parents did not do their duties for me. Individually they did their best for me and I totally respect my mother and father for it. They stood by me when it was needed the most. Today, I share a very cordial relationship with them individually and I’m in constant touch with them. When you are raised in a disturbed family it hits you hard."

She added, “each kid responds differently in such a scenario - some go into depression, some become aggressive while some become introverts."

She further adds, "As a kid, main bahut sehmi hui this (I was a scared kid, and) that’s the reason I can’t make friends even today. I have a handful of friends, I’ve a lot of colleagues. I don’t allow people in my space and maybe it is because of that." She also said that while growing up, “she always hoped for a happy home and family - a place full of emotional happiness."

Speaking of her married family, Dipika added that Shoaib and his loved ones filled the "empty space" in her life with love and happiness. In addition to the well-known 'Sasural Simar Ka,' Dipika has appeared in a number of popular TV shows since her television debut in 'Neer Bhare Tere Naina Devi' in 2010.
