00:00Firstly, Rubina, welcome to INS. It is an absolute pleasure to have you with us on board today.
00:04Thank you so much. It means a lot.
00:06Yes. When you talk about the show, right, Khadrovi Khiladi, it is a lot more synonymous to Rubina Dilek already.
00:12And this I wouldn't want to say because obviously I would want good content, but that is genuinely.
00:17We've seen a personality of yours in various shows, off screen as well, during other reality shows as well.
00:26So we already know what is going on in Khadrovi Khiladi on your side.
00:32So I just wanted to know what made you say yes to a show like this, whereas you already, usually
00:38people do it so that you can show your pure personality,
00:40your own, what is different from them, what is different from them, what is different from them, what is different
00:46from them.
00:46But you've already done that. So what made you say yes to the show?
00:51So, I have changed a lot over these years, especially after becoming a mother.
00:58And when a woman embraces motherhood, she literally picks up the broken pieces and she rebuilds herself.
01:08With reality shows like Khadroon Ke Khiladi, you actually test the waters and you find it for yourself.
01:16How well have you been able to build yourself?
01:22And if I have to look back, I think only very few women have proven their mettle after becoming a
01:34mother in a show like Khadroon Ke Khiladi.
01:36I want to open up a path for all the new mothers to believe in themselves.
01:42And I am myself going to see how much confidence is still there or still needs to be built.
01:52Because motherhood takes away so much from you, from identity to physical self to mental strength.
02:01And it is a lot to process.
02:04I am sure.
02:05So, you know, while you are answering, it just popped my mind's eye that recently I heard an interview.
02:10I saw an interview with Neetu Kapoor ji.
02:11Yes, ji.
02:12In which she said that she got back to movies mainly just to test her confidence.
02:18Absolutely.
02:18What is it or not?
02:19Because after a big sabbatical, it's not even sabbatical, it's like a huge break.
02:23Yes.
02:23Right?
02:24So, after motherhood, she thought that she lost everything within her.
02:27This is years ago.
02:28Yes.
02:28At least now we have the medium to talk about what you are going through.
02:32So, was this also your like predominant decision?
02:35Let's test Khatro just to see whether or not it will be or not.
02:38I completely resonate with Neetu ji.
02:41And of course, she's an epitome of beauty and strength.
02:45And we've seen it all through the years.
02:46Because that's how exactly women should come out, set an example and pave a path for the others
02:55who are still not confident whether I should resume work after becoming a mother.
02:59Because society never gives us that space to be, it's okay we will not judge you.
03:07So, if you have a mistake, we will not be able to leave you so much or be able to
03:12leave you so much.
03:12So, a constant that you keep in scrutiny, that she's become a mother, not equally strong or maybe will not
03:25be able to navigate her path.
03:28I don't know what is she doing.
03:29So, there are so many things that a society always keeps throwing at you.
03:37And studies show that 62% of women do not resume their work after pregnancy.
03:44Because such is the society who is unwelcoming of a woman who has just given birth.
03:53And they look down upon that, there will not be stamina, strength, there will not be that ambition.
04:00And if there will not be that ambition, it will probably not be able to prove it.
04:05It will not be able to prove it in this project.
04:07Whereas, I, with my journey, since I am blessed that I get this opportunity to show myself that there is
04:22still more that I want to achieve.
04:24There is a path that I want to pay for myself and my fellow contemporaries who are contemplating
04:38And hats off to all women who take this courageous step.
04:43Right, absolutely.
04:44But, you know, when we talk about that we want to pay away for other women and we want to
04:49be like the flag, not the flag bearer,
04:51but yeah, unko motivate kar pa hai, hum inspire kar pa hai.
04:54Even a single life.
04:55Correct.
04:55But, when we say that, it also, I mean, I feel that we are blessed because we have such families.
05:03Behind us.
05:04We have such partners, we have such parents who are wrong solid.
05:07Absolutely.
05:07Because it takes a village to raise a child, I am sure.
05:09Absolutely.
05:10Right.
05:10So, in your case, you have your husband, you have your parents who are making sure that your children get
05:17the same kind of love, warmth,
05:19and upbringing that you have got.
05:21Yeah.
05:21Right.
05:21And with Abhinav also, I am sure, it must be difficult because at the end of the day, your babies,
05:25both your babies, not just one,
05:27both your babies will be needing the little, you know, mummy ka jo warmth of that.
05:31Absolutely.
05:32And they are very little.
05:33They are very young.
05:34Yeah.
05:35To stay away from the physical proximity of me.
05:40And that's what I am really struggling with.
05:43But with the question that you just asked, yes, it is very important to acknowledge the support that I get
05:54from my family,
05:55especially from Abhinav.
06:11And if we take it for granted,
06:16I don't take this for granted.
06:18I know that his role as a father who is now taking care of my daughters more than me is
06:28so profound that it gives me a sense of relief.
06:31And that's what makes me speak confidently, calmly in front of you.
06:37So, with that, my mother taking care of my kids, my in-laws coming down, especially flying down to take
06:44care of my daughters.
06:46It is, I am immensely grateful to them because
06:54I would not take the credit on my shoulders.
07:00Those who do me silently with, you know, a smile and they never would point out, look, we did that
07:09for you.
07:10But I acknowledge it and I have to be aware of it.
07:13And that's what keeps me going.
07:16And that's what even gives me more strength.
07:19That when I have no bloody excuse to step back or not to fear it.
07:26Right.
07:26Absolutely.
07:27With Khatru Ke Khiladi, you're going to be away from your babies for 40 days.
07:30Right.
07:31How difficult is it going to be as a mother to you and also for them?
07:36Video calls to be great.
07:37But it's warm.
07:38No, no.
07:38It's always on the video call.
07:39It's always like, come on, come on, come on.
07:41And if you come on, come on, come on.
07:43Your heart takes it to your mouth.
07:47I don't know how I am going to balance it.
07:54I'm also not prepared for it.
07:56Actually, nobody prepares you for motherhood.
07:58And such are the challenges which all the working mothers are facing.
08:11And that also doesn't give us an excuse to not dream big.
08:18I want to dream big.
08:20Take my family along.
08:22Make my daughters feel that mama lived her dream with us along her journey.
08:28That's my entire intention.
08:31You know, as compared to other contestants,
08:34Aapke Paisa chhota sa weak point hai that your daughters are there waiting for you at home.
08:38Take my family in the past.
08:38And how they have ╨┐╨╛╤Б╤В╤А╨╛ed yourENNY and others.
