Earlier, due to the infection, the actor had gained some weight which became a talking point for some of her fans. She then had issued a statement on Twitter addressing those shaming her for weight gain. In her tweet, she had revealed that she has been subjected to hate mails and nasty messages. She added that now her 'pseudo fans' are threatening her to 'leave fandom' because she is 'fat' now. She concluded her tweet with a positive note by saying that it is her life and it has 'phases' and that this too is 'a phase in her life.'

"Dear well-wishers, I am observing that my weight gain is bothering you! You are relentlessly sending hate mails and messages, you don't see my worth if I don't hire a PR or if I don't tip paps for spotting... You are threatening to leave fandoms coz I am fat now, I don't wear good clothes and I am not working hard to get BIG projects[sic]," she had written.

This is the second time that the actor had contracted the virus. Earlier, in May 2021, Rubina had shared a video on her YouTube channel where she documented her COVID-19 journey. Through the video, she had narrated her journey from taking the RT-PCR test and testing COVID positive to her quarantine diaries.

During then, her symptoms were headache, body ache, and fever, after which she immediately took the COVID test. "I was thinking of sharing this with you all for a long time. I am extremely blessed, I would say, that I have an amazing family, a loving and caring husband, totally loving and supporting parents. My sisters are amazing, I am extremely grateful. Of course, my fans, I have been reading the wishes,” she had said in the video then.
