Nikki Talks Show Challenges and Bond with Arbaaz

You have appeared in Bigg Boss, then in Fear Factor, and now in Bigg Boss Marathi, where you made it to the top 3. What do you have to say about this incredible journey?
Nikki- I am a Marathi girl, and I really enjoyed participating in Marathi Bigg Boss. I did it for my fans because they kept telling me to do it. So, I did this show just for them.

You reached the top 3 in Bigg Boss Marathi, but Suraj won. What are your thoughts on the winner?
Nikki- Suraj was different from day one; his game was unique. Although no one really accepted his style, I considered him my brother from the second week onwards. Our bond was strong and different from the game. I’m very happy he won and lifted the trophy.

What do you have to say about Abhijit Sawant, who also reached the top 2?
Nikki-  I had a good bond with Abhijit as well; he was a great friend. If he had won, I would have been just as happy as I am for Suraj.

Many believe you were deserving of the title as well. There were many positive comments about you on social media. What do you want to say about that?
Nikki- I want to thank my fans. Many said I deserved the trophy, but luck plays a big role too. I believe all three of us were deserving of it. Love was in everyone’s fate, but the trophy belonged to one person, and he got it.

Question: You faced bullying in the Bigg Boss house, but Riteish Deshmukh was also there with you. What do you have to say about that?
Nikki-  I don’t want to dwell on my bad times. I know what happened to me, but now that the show is over, it doesn’t make sense to talk about it. I’ve seen interviews where everyone talks about me, but I don’t understand why. The show is over, and we should move forward. I want to keep positive vibes in my life.

You formed a bond with Arbaaz during the show. What do you think about that?
Nikki-  My bond with Arbaaz is strong and unique. When your heart gets attached, it's hard to separate. We have very different personalities. He can be a bit hot-headed, but he calms down around me. I also have anger, but I can’t seem to control it around him. He manages things very well.

You were very emotional when Arbaaz was evicted.
Nikki-  Yes, I became very emotional. But that’s part of life; no one is here today and gone tomorrow. I always say that Bigg Boss is a hell house. If someone is good, they have to struggle a lot there. I made friends but later faced betrayal. Then Arbaaz left too. I saw a lot there, but I still navigated my journey well in Bigg Boss.

Some contestants suggested that your relationship with Arbaaz was for the game. What do you say about that?
Nikki-  No, my relationship with Arbaaz was not for the game. I didn’t play with anyone’s emotions. I could never use someone for the game. Those are things said by people in the house; the outsiders don’t know. Even today, my bond with Arbaaz is as deep as it was inside Bigg Boss.

What message would you like to give to your audience?
Nikki-  From Arbaaz and me, we send lots of love to everyone.

Before making her mark in Bigg Boss Marathi, Nikki had already gained recognition through her participation in Bigg Boss and  Khatron Ke Khiladi 11.  In 2019, she starred in the successful film Kanchana 3 and also showcased her talent in the Telugu film  Thippara Meesam, as well as the comedy horror flick Chikati Gadilo Chithakotudu.
