The stars landed at Mumbai international airport at 11.30 am.
Speaking to MiD DAY minutes after her arrival she said, "I have got a laptop and camera as gift from two aunties who visited the hotel room a day before we left for India."
When asked about the camera, she said, "I have not opened the camera box yet, I do not know if it is a video or still camera, but I am happy."
Apart from attending the Oscar award ceremony, Rubina added that they got two days for site seeing.
She enjoyed every ride at Disneyland. "I had never enjoyed joy rides, but this was a marvelous experience. We went to the beach on the last day and had great fun in the water," added Rubina.
Rubina has also got some gifts for her parents "chocolates for mother and t-shirt for her father."
A class one student, Rubina was missing her school badly. She wants to resume classes from Monday.
Her father Rafiq Asghar Ali Quereshi told MiD DAY that he was happy with the glory and fame they have been getting due to his daughter.
She is tired with the euphoria and celebrations around her. "Main bahut thhak gayee hoon, mujhe sona hai ab. Main aap se baad mein baat karoong (I am very tired, I want to sleep now. I will talk to you later)," she concluded.
