Rubina Dilaik on being constantly trolled for her appearance: ‘I do not have control over them but I have realized...’
TV star Rubina Dilaik opened up on how she has learned to deal with continuous online trolling.
Television actor Rubina Dilaik has candidly spoken about dealing with relentless online trolling related to her appearance, age, and rumors of cosmetic procedures. The TV star revealed how comments about botox, facelifts, and body enhancements once affected her emotionally, but over time, she has learned to rise above the negativity and embrace her individuality.
Rubina Dilaik on being constantly trolled
In a recent interview with Zoom, Rubina shared that strangers often pass harsh remarks about the way she looks. Recalling the comments, she said, “I have heard so many trolls, not close ones, saying, ‘Buddhi ho gayi hai, ajeeb dikhne lagi hai, shayad botox karwaya hai, facelift surgery karwayi hai, body toning karwayi hai, ajeeb dikhne lagi hai.’ (You’ve aged, you look strange, perhaps you’ve had botox, facelift surgery, body toning, you look odd). One thing I have realized is that I do not have control over what others think. What I do have control over is how I choose to respond to them.”
The actor explained that while such remarks initially hurt her deeply, she eventually understood that reacting strongly only gave trolls more power over her emotions. Rubina admitted that there was a phase in her life when online criticism would deeply impact her confidence and mental peace. “In the past, my reactions were so intense that they affected me in some way. But later I realised that if I allow them to dictate my feelings, they will always find a way to push my buttons,” she said.
The actor added that she now chooses to focus her energy on self-acceptance rather than trying to satisfy unrealistic beauty standards imposed by society and social media.
Sharing her thoughts on cosmetic trends and changing beauty ideals, Rubina said, “Every girl and every woman simply wants to look a certain way. It is unfortunate that people are normalizing the notion that unless you have full lips, botoxed cheeks, and a sculpted nose that makes everyone appear the same, you are falling behind. But if we all must look alike, how can we appreciate the fact that God created each of us uniquely?”
