Recalling the emotional toll, Rubina described how harsh comments about her appearance on set pushed her into drastic decisions. 'Toh yeh set par aapka pehla show hai aur chilla kar aapko, aapke look ke liye literally pratadat kiya jaata hai. It stains your memory,' she shared. Determined to meet the industry's expectations, she resorted to an extreme diet: 'To an extent that I went on boiled spinach soup and Nutris for one complete year. And I pledged to myself—I'm going to get to size zero.'

'But I looked so sick and pale. My energies were so down. That phase, when I look back, I think—what was I even thinking?' she reflected, adding that she wished someone had guided her to accept herself as she was. She recalled how her entry into the industry was marked by innocence and health. 'I was 19 or 20 when I entered the industry. I came from the mountains—ghee, doodh, dahi kha kar. I was a fresh-faced, round-cheeked kid. And when I see my first show now, I see that natural glow.' However, the physical transformation she undertook for her second show left her feeling empty despite the external changes. 'Those cheekbones, that snatched waist… it didn't have the glow. And slowly, I started believing that maybe this is beauty,' she admitted. Live Events Rubina also revealed how this distorted perception of beauty began to shape her self-image. 'That psychology started attracting people and situations that validated my inner fears. I allowed that mindset to shape how I saw myself.' Her honest account stands as a poignant reminder of the quiet harm that the pursuit of perfection can inflict—and how embracing one's true self is the real path to healing. [With TOI inputs]

Actress Rubina Dilaik recently got deeply candid in her podcast, opening up about a dark and difficult phase in her early career when she was consumed by the pressure to look a certain way. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Reflecting on those formative years, Rubina shared how criticism about her appearance on set pushed her to take extreme measures. 'Toh yeh set par aapka pehla show hai aur chilla kar aapko, aapke look ke liye literally pratadat kiya jaata hai. It stains your memory,' she recalled. 'To an extent that I went on boiled spinach soup and Nutris for one complete year. And I pledged to myself—I'm going to get to size zero.' While she did achieve her goal, the toll it took on her health and spirit was far greater than she expected. 'But I looked so sick and pale. My energies were so down. That phase, when I look back, I think—what was I even thinking?' Rubina admitted she wished someone had taught her to embrace herself the way she was. 'I was 19 or 20 when I entered the industry. I came from the mountains—ghee, doodh, dahi kha kar. I was a fresh-faced, round-cheeked kid. And when I see my first show now, I see that natural glow.'

And slowly, I started believing that maybe this is beauty.' She added, 'That psychology started attracting people and situations that validated my inner fears. I allowed that mindset to shape how I saw myself.' Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the silent damage perfectionism can cause—and the healing power of self-acceptance.
