Today is celebrated as Mother's Day and many of the celebs are taking to Twitter to post pictures of theirs with their matriarchal figures and sharing their intimate feelings about the most important woman in their lives. LatestLY got in touch with popular television actress, Rubina Dilaik, to know what she thought of this special day. Rubina Dilaik is most popularly known for playing a transgender in the TV serial, Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, and had received a lot of praise for taking on such a bold and risky role.

Coming back to her feelings on Mother's Day, Rubina told LatestLY, "All of us should realise one thing that mothers are the centripetal force to our life. They are the backbone of our family and mothers have sacrificed, (they) have done so much to raise us. (They) contributed so much to each and every child of theirs that, I think, in return what we owe to them is a dearth of gratitude. So please be grateful to your mothers for what they have done for you. (Also) For she hasn't done for you, because I believe that each one of us holds an identity which is a replica of our mothers." Interestingly it is her mother who had motivated Rubina to take on the role in Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas.

Rubina Dilaik was also recently in news when it was revealed that she will be marrying her boyfriend, actor Abhinav Shukla in June. Shukla has confirmed the news, when he spoke to a leading daily. He has said, “Yes, we are getting married in June. We are yet to zero in on a date as we have a couple of options. The venue too is to be finalised. There was no pressure from either side. I was very clear that I won’t get married until I find the person I can be myself with and Rubina are just that. Also, we didn’t need any convincing to make up our minds. We just decided that we needed to take our relationship to the next level after dating for so long."

Thank you, Rubina for such a beautiful thought to share on Mother's Day! Also congrats on your upcoming wedding!
