Moving forth in the conversation, Rubina revealed how her dearest husband, Abhinav Shukla helped her out with the challenge and hurdle she faced as one of her first experiences in motherhood. She recalled how her hubby one day forced her to get some sleep and let her daughters be taken care by other family members. However, Rubina stated that she couldn’t get herself to be apart from her daughters for much long. In her words:
“Then one day, Abhinav told me lets do this one thing. He proposed taking one baby with him and leaving the other with my mother, allowing me to sleep alone in a separate room. Despite discussing this for a week or more, I couldn't bring myself to do it, even though just a few hours of good sleep could make a difference. On the 10th day, he forced me, and I finally slept in a different room. However, I kept waking up to check the baby monitor, ensuring everything was okay. I'd go outside the room to hear if all was well, if the babies have burped, if the diapers have been changed. I could just not settle.”
In a previous episode of her podcast, Rubina Dilaik revealed another anecdote from her motherhood journey.

In the same interaction, Rubina expressed how it is only after that she became a mother herself, has she been able to understand and respect her own mother more. The actress remarked being grateful of her mother dealing with so many things and said:
“Thankfully, my mother is at home. People are blessed, whose mothers support them. The respect I had for my mom has increased. Her importance has increased. My mother used to say, 'I want to see my own house. I want to go back.' Like a little girl I requested her, 'No mom, not now. Please mom, don't go.' I became a child. And all the mothers I have talked to, they say hat getting back to your old life is not possible."
