Rubina Dilaik reveals she gained 7 kgs post COVID-19 recovery, says 'lean body doesn't define who I am'

Actor and ‘Bigg Boss 14’ winner Rubina Dilaik, who battled coronavirus a few months ago, has now opened up about how she struggled to shed extra kilos that she gained after contracting the virus.

On Tuesday (September 7), Rubina shared a bunch of photos of her dressed in an off-shoulder beige coloured gown with tassels on the arms. The gown’s deep neck was complimented by Rubina's sleek hairstyle.

While sharing the photos, Rubina wrote about how her weight gain made her underconfident and she realised that her thin body doesn’t define who she is. “M Learning to love myself again after realising, a perfect , lean body doesn’t define who I am…… I gained 7kgs post my covid recovery which made me really uncomfortable and low on confidence! Struggled hard to get back to my usual 50 but ……..”

She then shared a piece of advice for her fans. “So here is to my beautiful people a lil nugget (which I am current practicing) ! Weight is all about having your health first and not your looks…. Be kind to your body,” Rubina wrote.
