Rubina Dilaik Recalls Being Called Chubby: ‘I've Struggled With How I Look'
Rubina Dilaik is currently winning hearts with her appearance on Laughter Chefs, where she not only whips up delicious dishes but also charms viewers with her vibrant presence. Off-screen, she continues to inspire through the second season of her talk show Kisine Bataya Nahi on YouTube. The podcast strikes a perfect balance of humour, heartfelt conversations and raw, relatable moments, making it a must-watch for fans.
In the latest episode, Ankita Lokhande joined the couch for an honest, no-filter conversation about self-worth, beauty, and the importance of self-love. During the chit-chat, Ankita opened up about her childhood insecurities, recalling how she would ask her Ajoba (grandfather) if she was beautiful and how she learnt to deal with fame, love, and life on her own terms.
Rubina, moved by Ankita's revelations, also shared her own struggles with body image. Reflecting on her early days in television, she revealed, 'When I used to do Choti Bahu, people would call me 'chubby,' having a 'fat face.' I have struggled with this quotient of beauty. Yes, I have struggled with how I look."
She went on to discuss the emotional toll of constant comparisons at industry events and award shows. 'While attending award shows, I used to look at my comrades and colleagues nicely dressed up, and it used to take a lot for me to build that confidence that I can also fit in this. I have taken a h*ll lot of struggle and a h*ll lot of journey to understand that I'm comfortable in my skin today. But it wasn't always like this," she confessed.
In the same conversation, Rubina also revealed that she once considered undergoing cosmetic procedures. 'I really thought of something not good about myself. People say lip fillers to make them plump, Botox, threads—I studied each and everything so that I could convince myself whether I needed it or not. That has been my confidence—being informed," she explained.
However, the actress said her real transformation didn't come from external changes but from inner work. 'I share this with utmost humility because I realised at a very crucial time that beauty is not the face. Beauty is something that you radiate. For me, that instrument became my meditation. That instrument became my yoga process," she concluded.
Rubina Dilaik made her television debut with the show Chhoti Bahu. The sitcom, which aired from 2008 to 2012, also starred Avinash Sachdev, Sonia Singh, Abhinav Shukla, Rita Bhaduri, Raj Logani, Arjun Purohit, Darshan Kumar, and Rajeev Verma in key roles.
