Rubina Dilaik On Post-Pregnancy Fitness: "I Realised My Body Is Very Different Now..."

Rubina Dilaik has revealed that participating in the latest season of the stunt-based reality show 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' was far more demanding than her previous appearance, largely because of the physical changes she experienced after becoming a mother. The actress, who welcomed twin daughters Jeeva and Edhaa with husband Abhinav Shukla in 2023, shared that motherhood has transformed not only her life but also the way her body responds to intense physical challenges.

Currently seen taking on daring stunts in 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 15', hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty, Rubina admitted that the experience tested her both physically and mentally.

Motherhood Changed Everything:

Speaking about her return to the adventure reality show, Rubina candidly shared that she quickly realized her physical strength was not the same as before. Recalling her initial experience on the show, she said, “I realised in the first stunt that I should wait for 4-5 more years to become strong and then come back.” The actress explained that the immediate realization came as a result of noticing significant post-pregnancy changes in her body, making the physically demanding tasks far more challenging than she had anticipated.

Mental Strength Became Her Biggest Asset:

While the physical hurdles were difficult, Rubina said it was her mindset that helped her move forward. During the course of the competition, she realized that mental resilience often matters more than physical preparation. “Then over a period of time, during the stunts, I realised that it's now or never. Because the resilience, your mental strength, time and any training can't make it better,” she said.

Sharing her outlook, the actress added, “But the grit that you have, it comes from within. And no matter how much physical training, gym, etc, it doesn't decrease or increase. It always depends on your mindset.” According to Rubina, this inner determination allowed her to push through moments of self-doubt and rise to the challenges despite the physical limitations she felt.

A Different Experience This Time:

Comparing her latest stint with her earlier journey on the franchise, Rubina noted a stark difference in her physical capabilities. “So mindset was something that I was really strong about. And then physically, yes, it was extremely challenging,” she said. Reflecting further, she added, “When I did the first season, there were physical challenges. But when I came this time, I realised that my body is very different now.”

Despite the challenges, Rubina's journey on 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 15' stands as a testament to perseverance, proving that confidence, determination and mental strength can often outweigh physical obstacles.
