In a heartfelt moment from her latest vlog, actress Rubina Dilaik opened up to guest Ankita Lokhande about her long battle with self-image and societal beauty standards. Recalling her early days in television, Rubina revealed how she was often labelled “chubby” during her Choti Bahu days.
“When I used to do Choti Bahu, people would call me ‘chubby’, having a ‘fat face’,” Rubina shared. “I have struggled with this quotient of beauty. Yes, I have struggled with how I look.”
She reflected on how difficult it was to build confidence in the face of constant comparisons. “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,” she admitted. “I have taken a h*ll lot of struggle, a h*ll lot of journey to understand that I’m comfortable in my skin today. But it wasn’t always like this.”
