In her new post, Himanshi slammed haters and said that she thought Covid would make people sensitive towards others.
She wrote, "Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling......some people are just better at hiding it than others ....... n I’m super proud of myself. I agree with @rubinadilaik welcome to the group ...Shayad log bhool gaye hai body sirf ik size ki nahi hoti ..... mujhe lga covid ke baad log Thora sensitive behave krenge ......"
On November 22, Rubina took to her Instagram account to share how people are sending her hate mails and messages for her weight gain, and for not working hard enough to get big projects.
The actress wrote, "Dear well Wishers/ PSEUDO FANS , I am observing that my weight gain is bothering you! You are relentlessly sending hate mails and messages , you don’t see my worth if I don’t hire a PR or if I don’t tip paps for spotting … you are threatening to leave fandoms coz I am fat now , I don’t wear good (designer) clothes and I am not working hard to get BIG projects …. Well , I am indeed disappointed that , FOR YOU, my physical appearance is far more important than my talent and my commitment to my work ….. But I have GOOD NEWS for you all…. IT'S MY LIFE and it has phases , and you too are a phase of my life ! PS :- I respect my fans, so don’t call yourself my FAN!"
Her post received love from Jaan Kumar Sanu and Shardul Pandit, who were seen with her in Bigg Boss 14.
This is not the first time that Rubina has spoken about her weight gain post Covid-19. Earlier too she had shared a post where she spoke about gaining 7 kgs. She said how it affected her earlier but she is now being kind to herself and her body and allowing it to take its time to recover fully.
