<br />
== Early life ==<br />

So, Shergill dropped all her ambition of becoming a singer.<ref>{{cite news|title=Rubina Shergill: Real life cry baby|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-08-01/tv/29837848_1_kailash-kher-crew-soap|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120117090207/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-08-01/tv/29837848_1_kailash-kher-crew-soap|url-status=dead|work=[[The Times of India]]|archive-date=2012-01-17}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Career ==<br />
Shergill's parents did not approve of her choosing acting as a career. However, she accompanied her mother, who was on a posting to Mumbai and started working on TV.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2011/20110722/ttlife1.htm|title=Rion of colour|work=The Tribune|accessdate=2 March 2012|location=Chandigarh}}</ref> She didn’t have to struggle hard to get into television. She visited a friend in Mumbai, met a few people and got work.<ref>{{cite news|title=HAIR AND HOW, Mrs Kaushik's bahu Rubina Shergill|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2011/20110809/ttlife1.htm}}</ref><br />
<br />
She worked in ''[[Rehna Hai Teri Palkon Ki Chhaon Mein]]'' on [[NDTV Imagine]] and one other serial before landing a role in ''[[Mrs. Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein]]'' on Zee TV in 2011. She played the role of "Inspector Simran Kaushik", third daughter-in-law of "Mrs Kaushik" (played by [[Vibha Chibber]]). Shergill said in an interview, "I feel fortunate to play a cop as well as a daughter-in-law as this gives me an opportunity to prove my mettle as an actor".<br />
<br />
== Death ==<br />
Shergill suffered a severe asthma attack during a party thrown by the production house of ''Mrs Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein'' on 23 December 2011 at a Mumbai-based five-star hotel.<ref>{{cite news|title=Rubina Shergill is resting easy in God's arms |url=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/rubina-shergill-resting-easy-gods-arms}}</ref> She did not have her asthma pump with her to inhale when she got the attack, and lost consciousness. She was then immediately admitted to the hospital.<br />

<br />
A few days later the reports of Shergill's suffering from a brain hemorrhage were released. She was on ventilator support after slipping into a coma. She died on 12 January 2012, in Kokilaben Hospital in [[Andheri West]], [[Mumbai]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131021043609/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-01-12/tv/30619370_1_ventilation-support-coma-brave-cop "Rubina Shergill passes away"], [[The Times of India]], 12 Jan. 2012.</ref> She was cremated at the Oshiwara Cremations Ground in Mumbai on 13 January 2012.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/tv-actor-rubina-shergill-passes-away/ |title=TV actor Rubina Shergill passes away &#124; News & Gossip|publisher=Bollywoodlife.com|work=bollywoodlife.com |year=2012 |quote=Kokilaben Hospital in Andheri West, Mumbai |accessdate=15 March 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Tribute===<br />
After her death, Shergill was not replaced by any other actress in ''Mrs Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein'' which was on-air when she died. At the time of her death, her character of "Simran" in the show was written as having gone for training. The script was originally written to have her return; however, after Shergill's death, the script was re-written to have ''Simran'' die as well.<br />
<br />
Even after Shergill's death, the character of "Simran Kaushik" was shown during flashbacks and retrieved many times in the show which finally ended on 15 March 2013.<ref>{{cite news|title=Producer Rashmi Sharma talks on the journey of making Mrs. Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein|url=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/producer-rashmi-sharma-talks-journey-making-mrs-kaushik-ki-paanch-bahuein}}</ref><br />
