Nikki Tamboli has often been in the spotlight for her bold personality and reality show stints. Known for being outspoken and straightforward, she recently opened up about her bond with Arbaz Patel, her fellow contestant from Bigg Boss Marathi 5. Their connection, which bloomed on the reality show, turned into something special, and Nikki has now shared unknown details about how their story began.
Nikki revealed something most people weren’t aware of. She mentioned that before stepping inside the Bigg Boss Marathi 5 house, Arbaz had already reached out to her. According to Nikki, Arbaz had sent her a message long before the show happened, though she hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time. She recalled, “I don’t know what happened when I saw him on stage, it was love at first sight. Even he had a past. Many things happened.”
During the interview, Nikki recounted an incident that stuck in her mind. She spoke about a random phone call Arbaz received on Eid while he was with her. It was from an unknown number, and it felt like someone was intentionally trying to stir trouble between them. Nikki explained how several people tried to create misunderstandings in their relationship, but she refused to let it shake her trust.
She admitted that after their time on Bigg Boss Marathi 5, Arbaz’s name was pulled into multiple controversies. There were constant attempts to tarnish his image and question his loyalty. But Nikki made it clear she wasn’t one to blindly believe rumors or accusations. She said, “It’s about my life decisions. He (Arbaz) is a very good friend of mine, I am in love, he is in love, whatever it is, but I’m not blind in love. I have analysed. I have seen it. I have checked with people, and then I decided what is right and wrong.”
Even now, Nikki continues to receive messages from people warning her against Arbaz. Some label him as a “bad” person, trying to plant seeds of doubt. But Nikki stressed that she never allowed these messages to impact her bond with him. She firmly stated that she believes in verifying things herself and does not entertain baseless negativity.
Nikki spoke fondly about Arbaz’s honesty once they exited the Bigg Boss Marathi 5 house. She revealed that he chose to be open about everything that had happened in the past. She appreciated his decision to be transparent and felt it made their bond even stronger. Nikki recalled how Arbaz took responsibility for clearing the air and expressed everything truthfully to her.
She also admitted that she’s smart when it comes to personal matters and believes in analyzing situations calmly. She believes love requires trust and honesty, and so far, both have stood strong between them.
