New Delhi:

Rohit Shetty is back with another season of Khatron Ke Khiladi. Popular television actress Rubina Dilaik is a contestant in Season 15. The actress makes a comeback on the show after her 2022 stint, which was Season 12. She opened up about one of her worst personal struggles as well, where her face was called "too negative" for a lead actor.

What's Happening

  • Rubina Dilaik opened up to SCREEN, talking about taking years to fully accept the way she looks. She recalled some of the comments that were passed on her about her face and body.
  • The actress shared, "I never had that confidence in my looks; I have struggled a lot to embrace myself. We are given the pressure of looking a certain way. When I came into the industry, I carried baby fat; people used to call me 'Himachali seb.' They would comment on my baby fat and baby chin. One of the directors once told me, 'Your face is so negative, you should do negative roles. I don't think anybody will cast you in a positive role or as a protagonist.'"
  • She continued, "I had braces. I thought maybe I was not enough. There were a lot of maybes. It took a lot of time to understand who I am and where I want to head. I felt if I had to look like others, then I am not Rubina Dilaik. That helped me understand that we have unique imprints, and if I cannot acknowledge that, I will not be able to give that to my daughters. It took a great deal to overcome that."
