Rubina Dilaik, who is currently a contestant on Bigg Boss 14 said that she made a bid to enter the film industry six years ago. However, she did not have very pleasant experiences at the meetings. She said that television actors were looked down upon and judged for superficial things like the cars they drove and the brands they wore instead of talent. She emphasised that screen tests seemed to be the least important criteria for selection which dissuaded her.
In a recent interview, Rubina shared an unpleasant experience with a director-producer who is pretty big in the film industry and said that he asked her whether she had seen a particular film of his, when she replied in the negative saying that she was in school at the time and was from a conservative family in Shimla, which had restrictions on girls going out to watch films, he admonished and belittled her.
The director told Rubina, “Really? You don’t know the work I have done? I just feel like farting on your face.” Rubina further added, “You are made to sit on a chair and asked ‘Tumhe pata hai maine kya kiya hai? Tum jaanti ho main kaun hoon? Tumhe pata hai tumhe kaun opportunity dene wala hai (Do you know the kind of work I have done? Do you know who I am? Do you know who is going to give you a break)?’ And at that time, the only thing going on in my mind was, ‘I want to run from here.’”
Rubina is currently participating in Bigg Boss 14 with her husband Abhinav Shukla. She has been getting a lot of praise for her stint in the Bigg Boss house.
