Rubina Dilaik, who recently embraced motherhood by welcoming twin girls, didn't shy away from discussing the realities that follow childbirth — especially the toll it can take on a marriage. Statistically speaking, the actor revealed why many couples head for divorce after welcoming children. For the unversed, she, along with husband Abhinav Shukla, will be a part of a new reality show titled Pati Patni Aur Panga—Jodiyon Ka Reality Check.
In a candid moment during a recent conversation, Rubina Dilaik opened up about how parenting can deeply impact a couple's relationship. She referenced studies that indicate the highest number of divorces occur post-childbirth, attributing this trend to the immense physical, emotional, and mental stress new parents go through.
'Sabse zyada divorces baccha paida honey ke baad hote hain because the couple goes through a lot of stress. Not just physical or emotional but mental stress as well. Jo couples survive kar gaya uss phase ko, they have a great relationship. This is a proper study ke maximum divorces baccha honey ke baad hota hain (Most divorces happen after a child is born because the couple goes through a lot of stress—not just physical or emotional, but mental stress as well. Couples who manage to survive that phase usually have a strong relationship. There's an actual study that shows the majority of divorces occur after having a child)."

For the unversed, both Rubina and Abhinav, who got married in 2018, went through a rough patch in their marriage. During their stint on Bigg Boss 14, the Choti Bahu actor broke down on national television while making the big confession. She had also revealed that the couple was to take a final decision about their marriage after the show got over. The actor had also thanked Bigg Boss for giving their marriage another chance.
Later, in an exclusive interview with The Times of India, Rubina shared, 'The kind of challenges we faced together in the show has made our relationship stronger. In the outside world, you have choices and you can escape, but when you are locked up in a house, you have no choice except to either fight or take flight. We chose to face the challenges head-on and win it for ourselves, and that in turn made us—our relationship and our bond—stronger."
She further added, 'Having your life partner with you on a show like this definitely provides emotional support. But to be honest, having your personal life exposed on a public forum is like walking on eggshells. It was a mental and emotional challenge to balance things. Only couples can understand it."
As for the latest update, both Rubina and Abhinav are going strong in their marriage. They became parents to twin girls, Jeeva and Edhaa, on November 27, 2023.

Career breaks don't scare me; I've faith in myself: Sangeetha Sringeri
After a three-year hiatus, actress is back on set — this time for a bilingual horror-romance being shot simultaneously in Kannada and Tamil. The break, she says, was entirely by choice. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'It wasn't about waiting for the right script. It was about choosing stillness over momentum. I wanted to pause and be with my family,' she says. Post her stint in the Bigg Boss house, Sangeetha realised she had been in a constant cycle of 'working, working, and always working'. She decided to step back and spend a year with her parents and brother. 'I had time. I had money. Why not use it to truly live? Being with my family helped me understand the essence of bonding and love,' she adds. During this phase, Sangeetha says she turned down reality shows and film offers. She allowed herself to slow down, even gain weight, before gradually easing back into workouts to prepare for her next chapter. 'Two months ago, I knew it was time to return,' she says. 'MANY FEAR TAKING A BREAK. BUT I HAD FAITH IN MYSELF' Sangeetha acknowledges that stepping away — especially during a career high — was not easy. 'Many women are scared to pause. But I had faith in myself. I believed if I kept myself fit and sharp, I could come back anytime. In Kannada cinema especially, female-centric scripts are rare. Filmmakers often hesitate to make space for layered women characters. But I knew that when the right story came along, I'd feel it,' she says. 'THE NEW FILM CHALLENGES ME AS AN ACTOR' 'The story revolves around my character,' she says. 'There is also a love story—a genre I've never really explored. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now So far I have only portrayed girl-next-door roles. But this film challenges me as an actor, and helps me explore character traits that aren't monotone.' This time, she's also exploring style and sensuality in a new way. 'I've never been dressed in modern outfits on screen. This film changes that— but tastefully. It's not glam for glam's sake. It's rooted in character.' As for horror? 'Oh, I love horror,' she grins. 'I even enjoy scaring people! But this isn't the kind of film with ugly faces and cheap jump scares. It has humour, emotion, and a clean storyline.' 'BILINGUAL SHOOTS ARE TOUGH, BUT I LOVE THE CHALLENGE' The film is being simultaneously made in Tamil, marking her debut in the language. 'Charlie had a dubbed Tamil version, but this is different. I'm shooting everything twice. I don't speak Tamil, so I have to memorise dialogues, feel them, and deliver them with the right emotion. It's like doing double the work—but I love the challenge.' She's also working with two different lead actors—one for each language. 'Both are opposites. One's an introvert, the other is very expressive. As an actor, I can't just repeat the same emotion in both versions. I have to react differently, adapt, and be spontaneous. Otherwise, I risk being called either too dramatic or too bland. That's the challenge I'm looking forward to.' Sangeetha also reflected on the larger space Kannada actors are now entering. 'If you see, artists from Karnataka always make it big outside. But back home, I feel Kannada heroines have to work twice as hard. In other industries, women are celebrated. Here, often only after you leave and make it big do people see your worth. That mindset needs to change.' 'SPIRITUALITY AND CINEMA AREN'T REALLY OPPOSITES—THEY COEXIST' One of the most striking shifts in Sangeetha's life is her spiritual journey. 'Earlier, I wasn't religious at all. In fact, I was an atheist! Even when I played Sati in a soap opera Mahadeva. But a Mahashivarathri changed it all. I felt my spirit lift—literally. That's when I understood the power of meditation.' She later found a guru and began practicing energy healing. Isn't acting, with all its roles and glamour, the opposite of spirituality? 'Not at all,' she says. 'Spirituality is not about rules or appearances. It's not about wearing white or chanting all day. It's about being fully you. If acting gives me joy, that is my path. Even if I play a villain, if it brings happiness to people, that is also seva.'

Trinity Rodman reacts to Ben Shelton's Toronto win with funny takes on tennis traditions
Trinity Rodman reacts to Ben Shelton's Toronto win with funny takes on tennis traditions (Image via Getty) Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton have been a couple for less than six months. As Ben Shelton reached the semi‑finals of the National Bank Open in Toronto on August 6, 2025, the Washington Spirit forward posed questions about tennis that even he couldn't clearly explain. She turned to fans with fresh confusion and curiosity. Her post became a bridge between two sports worlds, drawing attention to etiquette, traditions, and the differences between soccer and tennis. Trinity Rodman asks tennis questions after Ben Shelton wins quarterfinal On August 6, 2025, Ben Shelton beat Alex de Minaur in Toronto in straight sets (6‑3, 6‑4) to advance to the National Bank Open semi‑finals. Trinity Rodman, 23, watched from afar and shared a TikTok video asking tennis fans for help understanding the game. She admitted that she asked Ben Shelton about tennis rules but his answers left her more confused. One question she stressed: why do players raise their hand and say 'sorry' when they win a point after the ball hits the net? She compared it to scoring off the post in soccer and apologising to the goalkeeper, something she found puzzling. She also wondered why tennis players must act so reserved after winning a point, as showing strong emotion can be seen as cocky. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Happens To Celebrities That Go To Jail? Undo Trinity Rodman pointed to the strict traditions at events like Wimbledon, where players and even fans wear all white, a rule she doesn't understand compared to soccer's varied jerseys. She joked that a match between Ben Shelton and Flavio Cobolli felt like a 'Spider‑Man meme' because they wore nearly identical outfits. Trinity Rodman wrapped up the video by suggesting two changes: let players choose the music during changeovers and extend the 90‑second break between games. She said long waits can cause missed bathroom breaks or lost games. Her video drew over 137 comments from fans who didn't think her questions were 'stupid'.

Trinity Rodman, who plays forward for the Washington Spirit and has dealt with a back injury since April, scored a winning goal in her comeback match just days before Shelton's quarterfinal win in Toronto. Ben Shelton publicly praised her comeback, saying 'Plays 15 mins first game back and scores a banger.' Now it's his turn with a big match ahead against Taylor Fritz in the semi‑finals. Trinity Rodman's questions and Ben Shelton's support show a unique mix of sports, curiosity, and mutual encouragement. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
