Rubina Dilaik has featured as the lead in several popular shows including Shakti Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki and Chhoti Bahu among others.

Rubina Dilaik made her television debut with the 2008 show Chhoti Bahu and instantly became a household name. Subsequently, the actress featured in several other popular daily soaps, including Shakti Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki and Paarivaar. However, did you know that the actress was once told that she could never be the lead in her projects because of her ‘chubby and round face’.

In a recent interview, Rubina Dilaik revealed that she has broken the stereotypes she has faced in the showbiz industry as soon as she talks about them. “Over the years, I have broken many stereotypes that people used to have about me as a person and as an actor. I have broken the stereotype of being a small town girl, only able to do crying roles. Initially when I joined the industry, people felt that I cannot play the lead role as my face is chubby and round. I managed to change that by getting lead roles,” she told E-Times.

The Bigg Boss 14 winner further added, “By doing shows like Jeannie Aur Juju, Saas Bina Sasural and Shakti, I broke another thought that actresses on TV can only work in distress. Then I did Bigg Boss and later Khatron Ke Khiladi and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. I have always challenged myself over the years and have chosen to do things that are unusual and unexpected.”

Meanwhile, Rubina Dilaik was recently seen in the celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10 which was won by Gunjan Sinha.

Talking about Rubina’s personal life, she is married to actor Abhinav Shukla. Recently, the news of the couple expecting their first child together made headlines. Later, the actress quashed all such reports when she also shared that she and Abhinav are not planning to start a family as of now due to work commitments. “It has been extremely busy these past few months, so there is no time to think about the baby right now. And we are not planning to start a family in the near future. For now, I am just focusing on doing good work.”
