Rubina Dilaik has become a powerful and inspiring figure in the TV industry today, with fans calling her 'TV's Boss Lady'. The way she has maintained her fitness and glamour even after becoming a mother gives tough competition to many big actresses.
Rubina Dilaik: The dynamic actress of the small screen, Rubina Dilaik, needs no introduction today. She is not only one of the most popular and influential faces on television, but also inspires millions with her fitness, confidence, and beauty, even as a mother. But the journey to reach this milestone has not been easy for her. In a recent podcast interview, Rubina made a big and shocking revelation about the early days of her career.
Victim of Body Shaming at the Beginning of Her Career
Rubina revealed that she faced body shaming during her very first television show. She said, "When I was doing my first show, I was yelled at in front of everyone on set for my looks. I felt very bad and then I decided that now I have to become 'size zero'." This experience was emotionally very difficult for her, and it was from here that she decided to completely transform herself.
Rubina adopted a very strict diet plan to bring about a change in her physique. She said, "For a year, I only drank boiled spinach soup. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner - spinach soup was everything for me. I definitely became thin, but my condition became quite weak. The energy level was zero."
Recalling this experience, Rubina also added that she now thinks about why she did such a thing. At that time, she put her health behind the image of society and the industry.
Impact on Mental Health
According to Rubina, the impact of body shaming is not only physical but also deeply mental. She revealed that she had gone into a depression-like state several times. "I started questioning myself whether I was really not worthy? My talent was being questioned just because of my body." This statement exposes the bitter truth about the prevalent standards regarding body image in the industry and the pressure exerted on women.
Talking about the work front, Rubina Dilaik was recently seen in the cooking reality show 'Laughter Chefs 2'. The finale of this show recently took place, in which the duo of Karan Kundrra and Elvish Yadav won the winner's trophy. Rubina's creativity and ease in the kitchen were well-liked by the audience.
Mother of Twin Daughters in Personal Life
Rubina Dilaik married actor Abhinav Shukla in 2018. Both are now parents to twin daughters. This couple keeps sharing cheerful and positive posts with their children on social media. Balancing between her family and career reflects her multitasking personality. Rubina's story is not just of a television actress, but of those millions of women who face lack of confidence, stress, and mental illness due to body image.
Through her experience, she has given the message that your body is not your only identity. Confidence, talent, and positivity make you beautiful.
