Stubbornness As Strength: Rubina Wins Abhinav’s Heart
Newz Daddy Entertainment Updates
“A lot of people see stubbornness as a problem, but with Rubina it’s her strength,” reveals Abhinav Shukla on COLORS ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check.
Abhinav Shukla and Rubina Dilaik are one of television’s most admired couples. They met during a photoshoot and later got married in 2018. Their relationship has often been in the spotlight, especially when both participated in Bigg Boss 14. Rubina eventually won the season, making her one of the strongest contestants in the show’s history.
One of the most powerful truths about love is that it can transform a so-called flaw into a badge of honour, and that’s exactly what lit up COLORS ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check’. The episode, wrapped in a Bollywood theme with all its cinematic flair, was full of laughter, nostalgia, and playful tasks.
COLORS is known for reality TV formats that connect deeply with viewers. Shows like Bigg Boss, Khatron Ke Khiladi, and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa have built huge fan bases. By giving this episode a Bollywood theme, COLORS tapped into India’s love for movies, music, and nostalgia, making the show feel like a celebration rather than just a challenge.
But the real blockbuster moment came when the spotlight shifted to Abhinav Shukla and Rubina Dilaik. During a fun challenge where couples had to pin down each other’s defining traits, Abhinav tagged Rubina with the word “stubborn.”
In personality studies, stubbornness is often viewed as a double-edged trait. While some see it as rigid, many psychologists note that it is tied to persistence, strong will, and the ability to resist peer pressure. In competitive fields like acting, this stubborn focus is often the key to surviving constant rejection and criticism.
What began as a cheeky nudge instantly turned into the kind of revelation that makes reality TV gold. Instead of brushing it off, Abhinav explained that Rubina’s stubbornness isn’t a flaw at all, but the very force behind her discipline, her grit, and the meteoric success she has carved for herself.
Rubina Dilaik started her acting career with Chotti Bahu and later gained household fame through Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, a show that tackled bold themes of gender identity. Her success has been linked to her persistence in taking on challenging roles that many actors might shy away from.
And in doing so, he reminded viewers of a simple yet profound truth that sometimes, it only takes one person who loves you the most to help you realise that what the world sees as a weakness in you is actually your greatest strength.
Relationship experts often point out that partners who highlight each other’s strengths build long-lasting bonds. This moment between Abhinav and Rubina showed how support in relationships can boost self-confidence and inspire others watching.
Abhinav Shukla, admiring Rubina’s quality shares, “Rubina is stubbornly stubborn, but I mean that in the best way. I’m inspired by her stubbornness. She’s very clear about what she wants and what she doesn’t. If something doesn’t fit into her routine, whether it’s a late-night party or anything that interferes with her sleep, her gym, or her shoot schedule, she’ll simply say no. And honestly, I admire that. Not many people can do it. That stubbornness is what keeps her disciplined, focused, and consistent. I’ve seen her time and again stick to her principles, push herself to improve, and never take shortcuts. A lot of people see stubbornness as a problem, but with Rubina, it’s her strength… It’s the reason behind her success. Sometimes I even feel inspired by her myself, because she reminds me that saying no and standing firm can actually be the biggest driver of success.”
Abhinav Shukla himself is known for his adventurous personality—he’s a professional photographer, climber, and trekker. His admiration for Rubina’s discipline balances their dynamic as a couple. Fans have often praised how their love story is rooted in respect and support rather than drama. This makes their reality TV appearances refreshing and authentic.
