Rubina Dilaik reveals how her twin baby girls are compared for their different complexions; shares ‘I always whisper to them saying they are beautiful’

In a deeply personal moment from her latest vlog, actress and mother Rubina Dilaik opened up about a sensitive issue many parents face — colour-based comparisons between children. Speaking candidly, Rubina revealed how even at just 18-19 months old, her twin daughters, Jeeva and Edha, are being compared for their differing complexions.“My one baby is a little dusky, the other is fair… and people come and compare. It’s so bad,” Rubina shared, clearly emotional about the issue.She emphasized that she does not tolerate such comparisons in her home and is conscious about shielding her daughters from internalizing beauty stereotypes.“Even family members sometimes say things like, ‘just apply some paste or besan’ — and I put my foot down. Why? I have such beautiful daughters.”Rubina shared that her approach is deeply intentional and rooted in her own journey of self-acceptance. “It took me 30+ years to understand this, but I want my daughters to grow up knowing that beauty doesn’t come in one shade. I always whisper to them, ‘You are beautiful the way you are. You are strong, you are fearless.’”She added that both her daughters look different and are unique in their own right — and that’s exactly what makes them beautiful.

“Don’t bring this standard of beauty into the house. Both of them are so beautiful in their own ways, and I want them to grow up glowing in that confidence.”Rubina’s heartfelt message is not just for her children but also for society, as she encourages a much-needed shift away from colourism and beauty biases ingrained in culture.Rubina, who is currently seen in Laughter Chefs 2, will be seen in reality show Pati, Patni aur Panga with husband Abhinav Shukla. They will be featuring alongside other celebrity couples. After Bigg Boss, the couple will be seen together in a reality show.
