Rubina Dilaik Pledged To Have A Size-Zero Figure After Being Body Shamed At Age 19: "Wish Somebody Told Me..."

Rubina Dilaik, freshly off the sets of Laughter Chefs 2, opened up about being body shamed on her YouTube podcast Kisine Bataya Nahi. She shared that she was criticised for the way she looked on the sets of her first show in 2008 while talking to Ankita Lokhande on the podcast, She recalled that she went on a strict soup-only diet to lose weight. She said that while she was able to shed the extra kilos, the "glow" was gone when Rubina started her second show. "I was called chubby. I used to wonder... I have baby fat here and there. Ek director ne camera ke peeche se chillakar bola that, 'waapis bhejo Himachal mein... isko na chalna aata hai aur dikhti bhi golmatol hai '."(Once a director told me that they should send me back to Himachal... She doesn't know how to walk and is fat.) "You are literally mistreated. It stains your memory to an extent that I went on boiled spinach soup and nutri (diet) for one complete year, and I pledged to myself that I am going to get to size zero, and I achieved that," said the actor on her podcast. Speaking about looking pale and sick in the show, Rubina Dilaik highlighted, "My energies were so down. That phase... when I look back... I am like, what was I thinking... I wish somebody had taught me how to embrace myself. Kisine nahi bataya, aap apne me khoobsurat hai. (No one told us that you are beautiful in the way you are.) "I was 19-20 when I came, and I had come from the mountains... having grown up on ghee, milk, curd... golmatol bachcha hai... woh freshness thi... in my second show, my cheekbones used to be visible... my waist was snatched... but the glow was missing.. It took me a long time to get out of this cycle. I don't want that for my children now." Body shaming is believed to leave a drastic impact on a person's life. In fact, several studies, including the one published in the South African Journal of Psychiatry, found that body shaming can affect a person mentally and socially.

‘Dikhti bhi golmatol hai': Rubina Dilaik recalls being body shamed by director of her first show, says went on soup-only diet for a year to lose weight

Rubina Dilaik recently recalled being body shamed on the sets of her first show in 2008, sharing how it forced her to be on a soup-only diet for a year, following which, on her second show, her waist looked 'snatched' but her 'glow' was gone. 'I was called chubby. I used to wonder….I have baby fat here and there. Ek director ne camera ke peeche se chillakar bola that, 'arey yeh seb ke beti kaha se lekar aaye ho…waapis bhejo Himachal mein…isko na chalna aata hai aur dikhti bhi golmatol hai.' Yeh set par aapka pehla show hai, and koi aapko aapke look ke liye…(Once a director shouted where have you got her from, send her back to Himachal (native place)..she is also fat…) You are literally mistreated. It stains your memory to an extent that I went on boiled spinach soup and nutri (diet) for one complete year and I pledged to myself that I am going to get to size zero, and I achieved that,' Dilaik said on her YouTube podcast Kisine Bataya Nahi. Admitting that she 'looked so sick and pale' in her second show, the 37-year-old continued: 'My energies were so down. That phase…when I look back…I am like…what was I thinking…I wish somebody had taught me how to embrace myself. Kisine nahi bataya, aap apne me khoobsurat hai. (no one told us that you are beautiful in the way you are). I was 19-20 when I came, and I had come from the mountains …having grown up on ghee, milk, bachcha hai…woh freshness thi…in my second show, my cheekbones used to be visible…my waist was snatched…but it wasn't that glowing effect…It took me a long time to get out of this cycle. I don't want that comparison on my children now…' Drawing on her experience, let's explore how body shaming can have a profound impact on people. Psychotherapist Delnna Rrajesh has worked with hundreds of women who still flinch when they look in the mirror. 'Not because they dislike their body. But because someone else told them they should,' said Delnna. In a world where a woman's worth is still measured in inches and filters, the scars of body-shaming often go unseen. 'But they run deep. Especially when the pressure comes during our most formative years – 19, 20, just stepping into adulthood. Instead of being welcomed with warmth, we are ridiculed, measured, starved into silence,' added Delnna, stressing that this isn't just about television or entertainment; it happens in school corridors, college classrooms, and our homes. 'Our body, which was once a vibrant, nourished, living expression of you, slowly becomes a battleground of punishment,' described Delnna. What happens when you're body-shamed? Psychologically, it creates a split between self and self-worth. You begin to look at your body not as a home, but as a problem to be fixed. The result? 'Soup-only diets. Overexercise. Social withdrawal. Shame spirals. And ironically… even after losing weight, many don't feel better. Because the issue was never the body. It was the emotional rejection. The pain of not being enough,' said Delnna. What's the healing antidote? *Reclaim your relationship with food – not as reward or punishment, but as nourishment. *Grieve the version of you that was unloved – especially when your younger self was told she was too much or too little. *Shift the focus from appearance to aliveness. *Ask yourself: What makes me feel radiant, not just look smaller? *And most importantly…stop outsourcing your confidence. 'Every time we base our self-worth on someone else's approval – a director, partner, parent, Instagram comments, etc. we abandon a part of ourselves,' said Delnna. 'Rubina's story is not just hers. It's a mirror for many women who were made to feel they had to change to be loved. But beauty is not created by diet. It's created by safety. By self-respect. By choosing to be gentle with your body… even when the world isn't,' Delnna said.

Ankita Lokhande shares her morning ‘detox', skincare routine for glowing skin: ‘Main pura juice peeti hun aur Vicky ko bhi pilaati hun'

Ankita Lokhande recently sat down for an engaging conversation with Rubina Dilaik on the new season of her Youtube podcast Kisine Bataya Nahi, where she detailed her morning routine. 'Subah uthhte hi mere paas ek bada sa tray aata hai jisme (I get a tray in the morning after waking up which contains) …soaked methi seeds and cinnamon water hota hai; there is one teaspoon mix of ajwain, jeera, saunf powder each, and there is a pure aloe vera slice cut fresh from the plant. There is also garlic, saffron water, shilajit paani. I take a vitamin C capsule. This is 1.5-2 litres of water. I started having this every morning as soon as I wake up. All these have brought changes in me,' said Lokhande, 40. That's not all. She also drinks a vegetable juice. 'There is a juice which is a mix of beetroot, coconut water, with overnight-soaked seeds. Main pura peeti hun aur Vicky ko bhi pilaati hun. (I have it, and even make my husband, Vicky Jain, drink it). The Pavitra Rishta actor emphasized that even if you slack a little during the day, 'the morning routine is extremely helpful.' 'That has really helped my skin, health, and sleep a lot. And you feel good about yourself. Then I take my shower, come back, and then do my puja for half an hour,' said Lokhande, to which Rubina commented, 'Looks like the entire detox happens in the morning itself'. Taking a cue from her admission, let's understand if these concoctions are necessary for glowing skin. Dt. Gulnaaz Shaikh, chief dietitian, KIMS Hospitals, Thane, said many of these ingredients come from traditional wellness practices. 'For instance, fenugreek and cinnamon may help control blood sugar levels and improve metabolism. Cumin and carom seeds support digestion and reduce bloating. Aloe vera, when taken in moderation, may soothe the gut and promote skin health. Garlic paste can provide anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering effects. People often drink saffron water for mood balance and hormonal support. Additionally, Shilajit, if sourced safely, is seen as a natural energy booster. However, the overall benefit depends on consistency, portion size, and individual body type,' said Shaikh. Who can benefit from such morning drinks? According to Shaikh, people who feel bloated, sluggish, or seek natural ways to support digestion or metabolism may find some benefits. 'But again, it's not the same for everyone. Personalisation and moderation are essential. It's best to listen to your body and create a routine that meets your needs,' said Shaikh. Is it necessary to follow such an elaborate morning routine for health? Not at all, stressed Shaikh. 'While a mindful start to the day is helpful, you don't have to make it complicated. What matters more is finding what works for your lifestyle and body. If someone feels good following a specific routine and it is sustainable for them, that's great. For others, a balanced breakfast, proper hydration, and some movement may be just as effective,' shared Shaikh. What should one keep in mind before trying these home remedies? Shaikh emphasised that natural doesn't always mean safe. 'Allergies, medical conditions, or interactions with medications can cause issues. For example, it's important to check the purity of Shilajit. Not everyone can handle raw aloe vera or garlic on an empty stomach. Always try one ingredient at a time before mixing several together. If you're pregnant, diabetic, or taking medication, consult a healthcare provider first,' shared Shaikh.

Rubina Dilaik Recalls Being Called Chubby: ‘I've Struggled With How I Look'

Rubina Dilaik also revealed that she once considered undergoing cosmetic procedures. Rubina Dilaik is currently winning hearts with her appearance on Laughter Chefs, where she not only whips up delicious dishes but also charms viewers with her vibrant presence. Off-screen, she continues to inspire through the second season of her talk show Kisine Bataya Nahi on YouTube. The podcast strikes a perfect balance of humour, heartfelt conversations and raw, relatable moments, making it a must-watch for fans. In the latest episode, Ankita Lokhande joined the couch for an honest, no-filter conversation about self-worth, beauty, and the importance of self-love. During the chit-chat, Ankita opened up about her childhood insecurities, recalling how she would ask her Ajoba (grandfather) if she was beautiful and how she learnt to deal with fame, love, and life on her own terms. Rubina, moved by Ankita's revelations, also shared her own struggles with body image. Reflecting on her early days in television, she revealed, 'When I used to do Choti Bahu, people would call me 'chubby,' having a 'fat face.' I have struggled with this quotient of beauty. Yes, I have struggled with how I look." She went on to discuss the emotional toll of constant comparisons at industry events and award shows. '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. I have taken a h*ll lot of struggle and a h*ll lot of journey to understand that I'm comfortable in my skin today. But it wasn't always like this," she confessed. In the same conversation, Rubina also revealed that she once considered undergoing cosmetic procedures. 'I really thought of something not good about myself. People say lip fillers to make them plump, Botox, threads—I studied each and everything so that I could convince myself whether I needed it or not. That has been my confidence—being informed," she explained. However, the actress said her real transformation didn't come from external changes but from inner work. 'I share this with utmost humility because I realised at a very crucial time that beauty is not the face. Beauty is something that you radiate. For me, that instrument became my meditation. That instrument became my yoga process," she concluded. Rubina Dilaik made her television debut with the show Chhoti Bahu. The sitcom, which aired from 2008 to 2012, also starred Avinash Sachdev, Sonia Singh, Abhinav Shukla, Rita Bhaduri, Raj Logani, Arjun Purohit, Darshan Kumar, and Rajeev Verma in key roles.
