Rubina once opened up about her marriage with Abhinav and how they had considered getting a divorce. During her time on Bigg Boss 14, she revealed that the show played a key role in saving their relationship.
During Bigg Boss 14, Rubina shared that she and her husband Abhinav had once considered taking a divorce due to challenges in their marriage. She mentioned that participating in the show was their way of giving their relationship a 'last chance.'
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.'
Rubina Dilaik became a household name with her television debut in Choti Bahu. She went on to star in popular shows like Punar Vivah – Ek Nayi Umeed, Devon Ke Dev…Mahadev, and Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki. She was last seen in Laughter Chefs 2 and is now gearing up to entertain fans with her upcoming show Pati Patni Aur Panga alongside Abhinav Shukla.

'Son Of Sardaar 2' box office collection day 3 (live): Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur's comedy drama inches closer to the Rs. 20 crore mark; beats Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi's 'Dhadak 2' on Sunday
Though it was Diljit Dosanjh and his music tour that led to the popularity of the words 'Punjabi Aagye Oye,' it now appears 'Son Of Sardaar 2' took the phrase too seriously and has decided to take the box office by storm. Released on Friday, August 1, 2025, the Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur starrer comedy drama is marching towards Rs. 20 crore mark at a good pace. Despite the competition from 'Dhadak' (starring Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi ), which released on the same day, and the already popular and still standing strong 'Saiyaara' (featuring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda), 'Son Of Sardaar 2' has proved it is here to stay. The movie is benefiting from the weekend surge and has collected Rs. 3.24 crore on Sunday, according to the latest updates shared by Sacnilk. Son Of Sardaar 2 Movie Review 'Son Of Sardaar 2' box office collection day 3 (live) update According to the trade site, 'Son Of Sardaar 2' opened with 7.25 crore on Friday. On Saturday, with a jump of over 13 percent, the film minted Rs 8.25 crore. Thereafter, as per the latest statistics, so far on Sunday, the film has collected over Rs. 3 crore, taking the total collection of 'Son Of Sardaar' to Rs. 18.74 crore. 'Son of Sardaar 2' vs 'Dhadak 2' As aforementioned, 'Dhadak 2' is another big release that made it to the theatres this Friday. However, on the one hand, where 'Son Of Sardaar' is already playing in double digits, 'Dhadak 2' is slowly racing towards the Rs. 10 crore mark. It opened with Rs. 3.5 crore, followed by 3.75 crore on Saturday, and made Rs 2.02 crore on Sunday so far, taking the total to Rs 9.27 crore. 'Son of Sardaar 2' movie review 'Son of Sardaar 2' received 3 stars from The Times of India. The review characterizes the film as a slapstick comedy featuring a weak storyline, yet it showcases plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, particularly during the first half, 'The slapstick comedy written by Jagdeep Singh Sidhu and Mohit Jain is a standalone sequel to 2012's Son of Sardaar. The storyline maybe thin, but Jassi juggling the dual act of being a war hero and Rabia's husband doubles the chaos. India-Pakistan rivalry jokes and one-liners will keep you in splits, along with Tony and Titu trying to expose Jassi. The first half has some entertaining moments; one of them being Raja, Tony, and Titu visiting the family to finalise the wedding, where Jassi recreates the scene from Border and plays all three parts originally portrayed by Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, and Jackie Shroff.'

Sonali Bendre says people thought she ‘lost the plot' after decision to work in TV: ‘It was a fantastic paycheck'
Actor Sonali Bendre's decision to do television initially raised eyebrows among her colleagues, but looking back, she calls it the "best thing" she ever did -- a move that gave her career a fresh lease of life along with a great paycheck. Sonali Bendre is currently seen in Pati Patni Aur Panga. The 50-year-old, who first appeared on television in Kya Masti Kya Dhoom after the success of her films Hum Saath Saath Hai and Sarfarosh, recalled how her decision at the time made people think that she had "lost the plot". "Everybody thought I had lost the plot because television was not the thing to do. It was like, 'Why are they doing TV?' But it was a great show, I loved the concept of that show, and I thought it was a fantastic paycheck," Sonali told PTI in an interview. Sonali even credited her partner at the time, and now her husband, Goldie Behl, for supporting her decision. "This (TV) is the future, television is going to become big (Goldie said). I listened to him and said, 'Let me do it'". It was the best thing I did," the actor said. Sonali went on to judge reality shows such as Indian Idol 4, India's Got Talent, Hindustan Ke Hunarbaaz, India's Best Dramebaaz, India's Best Dancer 3. She is currently featuring on Pati Patni Aur Panga as a host. In fact, according to Sonali, it was television that helped her remain relevant. "The kids (on her first reality show) who used to see me at that time are all grown up now, and they still remember me. So, as a celebrity, your life is as long as your fans remember you." "I got a great lease of life. At that time, people used to say that you are doing TV, but it just gave me an amazing lease of life, which I didn't think that's what would happen, but it did happen," she added. Besides, working in television offered her the opportunity for a healthy work-life balance, which became a crucial factor since she wanted to be present for her son during his formative years. "When I had my child, these shows were closest in my line of work. I didn't do fiction work because my child was growing up and I wanted to be there for him," Sonali added. Pati Patni Aur Panga features popular celebrity couples such as Debinna Bonnerjee-Gurmeet Choudhary, Hina Khan-Rocky Jaiswal, Rubina Dilaik-Abhinav Shukla, Avika Gor-Milind Chandwani, Swara Bhasker-Fahad Ahmad, Geeta Phogat-Pawan Kumar, and Sudesh Lehri-Mamta Lehri. The show, which premiered on Saturday on Colors Channel, will see celebrity couples competing against each other as they take on fun challenges. Talking about the show, Sonali said the show is unlike anything she has done before. "You are holding the whole show together; you talk to the contestants, and more so to those who are not opening up. Besides, it's not scripted. It is a challenge, but I'm enjoying it," she concluded.
