Fans of television queen Rubina Dilaik were sent into a tailspin this week when the Bigg Boss 14 winner posted a startlingly brief video on her Instagram stories. Dressed in an elegant printed saree, Rubina looked directly into the camera, took a breath, and simply said, “I am pregnant,” before the clip abruptly cut to black.
The announcement immediately went viral, sparking a heated debate across social media: Is the “Chotti Bahu” star really expecting her third child, or is there a twist in the tale?
While the internet was busy speculating about a new sibling for her twin daughters, Jeeva and Edhaa, sources close to the actress have revealed the real story. The viral clip is not a personal announcement but a clever promotional strategy for her upcoming digital reality show.
Rubina is set to host a unique series that focuses on the journey of motherhood and parenting. The show will reportedly feature expecting mothers and their families in a first-of-its-kind competition. Given Rubina’s vocal and transparent journey with her own pregnancy and her popular podcast Kisine Bataya Nahi, producers felt she was the perfect face for the project.
This isn’t the first time Rubina has kept fans on their toes. Since welcoming her twins in November 2023, she has mastered the art of “edutainment,” using her platform to discuss the highs and lows of parenting. Many seasoned “Rubiholics” (as her fans call themselves) suspected a gimmick from the start, noting that:
Rubina and Abhinav, who married in 2018, have been enjoying their roles as parents to their two-year-old daughters. Recently, Rubina has been using her YouTube channel to tackle “taboo” topics, from postpartum body changes to the unfair comparisons people make between her daughters’ skin tones.
By using such a bold hook for her new show, Rubina has once again proven she knows exactly how to grab the spotlight. While there may not be a third baby on the way just yet, fans can look forward to seeing her back on screen, championing the cause of mothers across India.
