In an interview with The Times of India, Rubina added how she is a very strong girl and she had learned a lot from Nikki. She recalled how she told her during Bigg Boss that he has not been keeping well and he had a surgery and was bedridden for a long time. While he was stable when she came out of the house, he contracted Covid-19 and was in the hospital and the way Nikki managed to handle everything was inspiring.

It was heart-wrenching to know that she lost her young brother yet she went for Khatron Ke Khiladi because she had committed to doing the show. The way she’s handling all this at such young age is really brave of her. She’s doing good for herself and I am proud of her and I know she is going to shine."
