Rubina Dilaik to take a break and focus on health post Shakti; Says ‘I’m not in the best shape’

Social drama Shakti- Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, which is undoubtedly one of the most popular shows on television, will be going off air after a run of 5 successful years. The story initially focused on Rubina Dilaik aka Soumya, a transgender, who is married off to Vivian Dsena aka Harman. After finding out the truth about Soumya, the two bonded as friends and eventually fell in love. Over the next 5 years, the show saw many twists and turns and focused on various different issues. Well, now it’s coming to a natural end and fans are eager to know what Rubina will be up to next.

In a chat with ETimes, Rubina shared that she plans to take a break to focus on her health. She explained, “To be honest, I am not looking out for any project as of now because immediately after Bigg Boss 14, the makers of Shakti wanted me back on the show. I had other commitments, too, like music videos, which I was busy with. In the middle, I also tested positive for COVID-19 and recovering from that took time. All this has taken a toll on my health. I realised that I have been working nonstop and now, I need a break to rest and focus on my health.”

She went on to add, “I’m not in the best shape and need to take some time off. I want to wait for a project that will excite my creative juices. I don’t have anything specific in mind because I don't know what will come up next. My first priority is health and I want to be spiritually and mentally healthy, so that when I commence my next project, I am fit to give in my 100% time and energy.”

The actress is currently busy shooting for her Bollywood debut film, Ardh.
