A leisurely getaway to Rubina Dilaik’s home in Himachal Pradesh took a dramatic, heart-wrenching turn when sudden landslides and relentless downpours trapped her and her two little ones, Jeeva and Edhaa.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, the television star shared raw glimpses of the past few days, the narrow escapes, the roadblocks, and the eerie uncertainty that clouded what was supposed to be a routine visit. She didn’t mince words: “Past five days were a roller coaster!” she wrote, her voice echoing the collective anxiety gripping so many families across the region.
The images she shared spoke volumes: streets carved by mud, roads torn apart, and, heartbreakingly, the odd day where she couldn’t hold her daughters close. Yet amid the chaos, moments of warmth shone through, Jeeva and Edhaa playing in the hotel lobby, laughter finding its way into uncertainty.

Rubina’s message radiated gratitude and relief. She thanked Leeladhar Tranquility, the hotel that took her in when hope ran thin. “We are safe, by God’s grace,” she wrote, “and though I couldn’t hug my daughters as much as I wanted, I’m so thankful they’re healthy, happy, and in a safe space.”
But her heart also reached beyond her own bubble. She offered heartfelt sympathy for those far worse hit, families whose homes, fields, and livelihoods were swept away under mud and despair.
Himachal Pradesh, now battered by the monsoon’s fury, has seen a staggering toll: 263 lives lost since June 20, tens of thousands of homes, shops and huts damaged or destroyed, and hundreds of roads, some being major highways, rendered impassable. Entire communities remain cut off, waiting for relief.
Amid tragedy and turmoil, Rubina Dilaik’s voice acts as a beacon of compassion. It’s a reminder that even celebrities share common ground with those suffering, fear for their children’s safety, gratitude for kindness in bleak moments, and a soul-stirring urge to speak for unheard pain.
Through her honesty and empathy, Rubina turned a personal ordeal into a shared human story, one that leaves us pausing, feeling, and hoping for brighter skies over Himachal soon.
