Nikki Tamboli’s Emotional Recall: ‘Muje Meri Death…

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Nikki Tamboli Talks About Her Tough Time After Her Brother’s Death – “I Felt Like I Was Dying”

Nikki Tamboli recently appeared on Pinkvilla’s show Behind the Success, where she opened up about her personal struggles and journey in the entertainment world. She spoke about a very painful time in her life—when she joined Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 just two days after her brother passed away.

A Challenging Time After Bigg Boss 14

Nikki shared that after Bigg Boss 14, she tested positive for COVID-19. At the same time, her family had already been through other health issues, so she asked them to stay in their other house to protect them. She also revealed that her brother was very sick and had to be hospitalized. He had to go through both hip replacement surgeries and knee surgery.

Even with all these problems, Nikki stayed strong and continued her career. She said that her family’s love and support helped her overcome those hard days.

Joining Khatron Ke Khiladi After Her Brother’s Death

Nikki said that just two days after her brother’s death, she went to shoot for Khatron Ke Khiladi 11. She felt that if she had stayed home, she would have cried a lot—and that would have made her parents feel even worse.

She believes that if her brother were alive, he would have wanted her to go and take part in the show. Nikki shared that going on the show helped her avoid falling into depression, though she admitted she cried often during the shoot.

Facing Criticism for Not Performing Stunts

Nikki also spoke about the time when people accused her of not doing her stunts properly on the show. She explained that she has a fear of insects and other creepy crawlies, and it’s something she can’t control.

But the most terrifying moment for her was during underwater stunts. She said, “Mujhe meri death dikhayi de rahi thi. Mujhe laga mai mar rahi hu aur mere mom-dad ko kaun bachayega.”
(“I felt like I was dying. I thought—I’m going to die, and who will take care of my mom and dad?”)

She couldn’t focus on the stunt because all she could think about was her family. Nikki said people didn’t understand her mental state at the time. That fear made her fail in the stunts.

Nikki Tamboli has been part of many reality shows, including Bigg Boss 14, Khatron Ke Khiladi 11, Celebrity MasterChef, and more. Despite going through personal pain, she has kept moving forward and is proud of the career she has built.
