Rubina Dilaik says 'feminism is incomplete' unless a man gives his woman's identity to bloom

TV star Rubina Dilaik says true feminism needs men to give women space to bloom. She discusses balance with husband Abhinav Shukla.

"Unless a man gives his woman's identity a chance to bloom, no matter how loudly we scream feminism, it's not possible. - Rubina Dilaik"

Mumbai, May 11

Television superstar Rubina Dilaik shared her thoughts on feminism and the balance between masculine and feminine energies.

The actress highlighted how true feminism can only exist when a man gives a woman the space to discover and build her own identity.

In an exclusive interview with IANS, Rubina said, "Unless a man gives his woman's identity a chance to bloom, no matter how loudly we scream feminism, it's not possible.

Drawing a spiritual parallel, and how the energies of Shakti and Shiva work in harmony, just like partners in a relationship, Rubina said, "The masculine and feminine energies have to work in duality for us to truly believe in balance. When Shakti has to show her strength, Shakti will be seen. And when Shiva has to reflect masculinity, that will be seen. It is a beautiful balance between the two powers."

She further explained how relationships evolve with time and how both partners take turns supporting each other, citing her own example with husband Abhinav Shukla.

"There will be phases in life where he will be building something and I will support him, and there will be phases where I am building my dreams and he will support me. When you acknowledge that, it creates a strong value system for the family."

Rubina who is all set to participate in the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi season 15, will be flying off to Cape Town in South Africa for its shoot.

The actress who will be away from her baby twin girls for 40 days, also mentioned that it is going to be extremely tough for her as a mother to stay away from their physical touches and hugs.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I think feminism is about women's empowerment regardless of a man's role. While partnership is important, women shouldn't need a man's permission to bloom. That said, Rubina's view on balance in relationships is refreshing from a Bollywood celeb. 🙂

Finally someone in the entertainment industry talking sense! In India, we see too many patriarchal setups where women are expected to sacrifice everything. Rubina's point about supporting each other's dreams - that's the real deal. Shakti and Shiva working together, not one dominating the other. Good job Rubina! 🔥

Interesting perspective from an Indian celebrity. While I understand the cultural context, I think true feminism means women don't need validation from men at all. But the balance she describes sounds healthy for any relationship regardless of gender roles.

Rubina has always been a strong voice! I love her point about phases in marriage - sometimes he supports, sometimes she supports. That's real partnership. And yes, in our society, we need more men who give women space to grow. Being away from her twins for Khatron Ke Khiladi shows how dedicated she is to her career too! 💪

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, her message about balance is nice. On the other hand, saying feminism is incomplete without a man's permission feels regressive. Women should bloom because they want to, not because someone allows them. Still, good to see discussions on this topic in mainstream media.
