In October 2021, she and her husband Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik were blessed with twin boys -- Kabir and Zian. A few months later, Dipika was back in the squash court and went on to win the mixed doubles bronze medal at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. The Hangzhou Asian Games are expected to be her swansong.

The Grandmaster is one of India's finest chess players. She became the youngest woman ever to achieve the Grandmaster title at the age of 15 years, one month, 27 days in 2002, and became the second female to exceed the 2600 Elo rating mark. She gave birth to her daughter Ahana in 2017 following which she took a maternity break. Humpy returned two years later to become the women's World Rapid champion in 2019.
