Rubina Dilaik On Abhinav Shukla’s Support Postpartum

When questioned about the support she received from her husband, Abhinav Shukla, during her postpartum phase, Rubina Dilaik shared, “Agar unka support nahi rehta na, toh things would’ve been very different.

Where I all feel is why even this room or conversation?”

Talking about postpartum challenges, she added, “So when you start questioning these little things in your life is the time, if someone is living with you, for that matter, your husband, your partner, if he or she is not supportive enough to understand ki, there can be a possibility she’s going through something, it is very difficult.

Rubina Dilaik States You Don’t Recognise Postpartum Until It Doesn’t Pass

Reflecting on the untold struggles, Rubina continued, “And you can’t say that I’m going through the postpartum phase. You don’t recognise it till the time it doesn’t pass. Main yeh nahi keh rahi hu taha-umr aapke saath rehta hai. Par jab aap usse guzar rahe ho, apko nahi samajh aata that you’re in that very dark hole. When you come out of it, you feel that ‘Oh my god, what the hell I was going through?'”

Yeh itna bada reset phase aata hai humari life mein ki agar mahol, nutrition, safety, understanding, agar yeh sab na mile na, ek aurat bohot hi depleted state mein chali jaati hai mentally, emotionally, and physically.”
