Rubina Dilaik on being body shamed: Trolls started messaging my family, called me employed

Rubina Dilaik had penned down a cryptic post earlier shutting down all trolls calling them pseudo fans who body-shamed her for gaining a bit of weight. Rubina had taken a stern stand that she does not need such fans and she was even applauded for the same. In a recent interview, Rubina Dilaik opened up that while she was being trolled for gaining weight, some trolls even began to message her family, others claimed that Rubina is unemployed and had gained weight being at home.

Rubina told ETimes, “Since the time I recovered from COVID this year, I had gained an inch here and there probably because of the steroid that I was on during COVID and everybody online stated judging me and pinning me down. The pseudo fans started messaging me and emailing me. But I was okay with their comments as I didn’t take it personally.”

The actress continued “It started bothering me when they started messaging my family members – my mother, my father, my sister, my husband Abhinav (Shukla). They have been tagging them on posts like I need to hire a good PR or a manager. I don’t know why people think that an actress needs to have a certain figure in order to be sustainable in the industry! Or else they call us with words like behenji and aunties. All this has been happening for the past two months and that is why I thought of writing a post on this. A few even tagged and messaged my cousins online which read that I am unemployed because I am sitting and eating at home and gaining weight. I wanted to tell those people to draw a line and let me live my life the way I want to.”
