Actors Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla welcomed their twin daughters – Jeeva and Edhaa – in November last year. The actress has now opened up about navigating her career after becoming a mother as some unexpected challenges have come her way. She revealed this in the new episode of her chat show Kisine Bataya Nahi as she discussed her parenthood journey with actor Sharad Kelkar.
Addressing the existing stigma against female actors, Rubina said in Hindi, “When female actors welcome kids, they are being categorised in a certain way… (Despite losing the baby weight) I am being asked to play bhabhi-type (sister-in-law type) roles on the whole.”
Sharad chimes in, “I will tell you, it is a very brutal truth, but that’s a fact, you can’t deny it – a male actor’s shelf life is slightly longer than a female actor’s as a lead… it is not about being biased; it is practical.”
He explained that the actress entered the industry at 18 as a lead and went on to headline the show for at least 10 years Now it is other people’s chance to rule like you.
