However, Rubina made it clear she doesn’t tolerate such comments in her home, labelling the comparisons as ‘bad.’ She said:

She even admitted that this was something she herself had only achieved in her 30s. She said:

"They are still very young to understand, but I always whisper to them, 'You're beautiful just the way you are, you are strong, you are fearless'. This is how we build the psychology. It took me 30+ years to realise it, but I want my daughters to know it right from the start."
