TV actress and Bigg Boss 14 winner Rubina Dilaik shot to fame post her appearance on the controversial reality show, hosted by Bollywood star Salman Khan. The actress, however, had to go through several hurdles during her initial years in the entertainment industry.

Recalling one such incident from 2011 where she had to sell two of her houses because she wasn’t paid for her work for several months, Rubina Dilaik stated in an interview with Bollywood Bubble, “My payments were due for nine months. I used to call my production house and producers, visit their office and plead them to pay me because I had to pay EMIs for my house. I get this ledger sort of thing with uplinks, which you file when the shoot get delayed and you have to pay penalty.”

The actress then explained how she had to pay penalties worth Rs 16 lakh. “I had to sell off my first house in the city. I didn’t buy a house since then. I was way behind my commitments and EMIs. I sold off my car. That is when I decided I don’t want to live in uncertainty, insecurity and constant anxiety. I had two houses at that time, I had to sell them off.”
