Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla first crossed paths on the sets of Chhoti Bahu. However, their love story began years later in 2015, when they met at a friend’s Ganpati celebration. Abhinav was drawn to Rubina’s calm and composed personality, which he had noticed during her show. Later, he sent her a message on Instagram, asking to photograph her. That message led to their first meeting, which eventually blossomed into a beautiful relationship. (Photo: Instagram)

The couple tied the knot on June 21, 2018, in an intimate wedding ceremony at Woodville Palace, Shimla. The celebrations included traditional functions like Mehendi and Sangeet, attended by their close family and friends. After the wedding, they hosted two receptions one in Ludhiana, Abhinav’s hometown, and another in Mumbai for their television industry friends. Their wedding pictures went viral, with fans praising their elegant and royal-themed celebrations. (Photo: Instagram)

Rubina and Abhinav made their wedding even more special by writing their own vows. Sharing this with BT, Rubina revealed, “We had our own version of the seven vows, which Abhinav has written beautifully. Each vow touched my heart deeply.” (Photo: Instagram)

By 2020, Rubina and Abhinav’s marriage hit a rough patch, and they began facing serious issues. Instead of walking away, the couple decided to give their relationship another chance by participating in Bigg Boss 14 together. Rubina later shared that she joined the show to save their marriage, giving themselves six months to mend their differences. While many contestants found it hard to believe, their honesty and willingness to give their relationship a second chance won over the audience. (Photo: Instagram)

During Bigg Boss 14, contestants were asked to reveal an unknown secret about themselves. Rubina Dilaik, who later went on to win the season, made a shocking confession she shared that she and Abhinav Shukla were on the verge of getting divorced. The couple had decided to give each other time until November that year before taking a final call on their marriage. This was also one of the main reasons why they chose to enter the show together. Rubina’s revelation left Abhinav visibly upset at that moment. (Photo: Instagram)

Although Rubina and Abhinav played Bigg Boss 14 as a strong couple, there were moments when their differences surfaced. From Abhinav interrupting Rubina’s game strategies to Rubina asking him to “shut up,” their disagreements became quite evident on-screen. These small arguments gave fans a glimpse into their relationship at that time. However, despite their differences, they continued to stand by each other and play as a team. (Photo: Instagram)

Their journey on Bigg Boss 14 turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Living together in a confined space and facing challenges side by side helped them understand each other better. By the end of the show, Rubina and Abhinav had rekindled their bond and decided to give their marriage another chance. (Photo: Instagram)

During the lockdown, Rubina and Abhinav spent quality time together and focused on nurturing their bond. Though their second anniversary celebration couldn’t happen as planned, they made the most of their time at home. In an interview with ETimes TV, Rubina said, “This period has been an intimate time with myself. I am really working towards getting to know myself and my relationship with Abhinav. I am giving my home a touch of my own. Can’t tell you how time flies away. I have been busier than ever.” (Photo: Instagram)

In November 2023, Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla welcomed their twin daughters, Edhaa and Jeeva, born on November 27. The couple introduced their daughters to the world on the first day of Navratri 2024, receiving an outpouring of love from fans and friends. Rubina and Abhinav have chosen to raise their girls on their farm in Himachal Pradesh, wanting them to grow up surrounded by nature and a peaceful environment. (Photo: Instagram)
