Nikki Tamboli won’t cut cakes on her birthday for years to come; requests fans to pray for her brother’s soul

After winning hearts and emerging as the second runner up of Salman Khan’s reality show Bigg Boss 14, actress Nikki Tamboli decided to participate in the 11^th season of Khatron Ke Khiladi. However just a few days before she left for Cape Town, South Africa to shoot, Nikki lost her brother Jatin Tamboli. He was just 29 years old and had been suffering from various health issues since the past few years. Earlier this year, he contracted coronavirus, tuberculosis and pneumonia. Nikki and her family were shattered.

The actress, who will be turning a year older this month, has decided not to cut cakes on her birthday anymore. Nikki took to her official social media handle to share: “I really would like to request all my Nikkians, my fans and friends to not send me any cakes or pastries on my birthday or before my birthday as I have decided to not cut cakes on my birthday from now on till years to come. I recently lost my brother and the next day is Rahki, so I really hope you'll respect my decision and rather pray for my brother's soul, help the people in need and feed those who actually needs it. Thank you!”

On the professional front, Nikki was eliminated from the stunt reality show during the first week after she aborted three consecutive tasks. However, the actress returned to the show this week as a wild card and received a warm welcome from host Rohit Shetty and all her competitors. So far, Nikki is one of the most entertaining contestants of the season. We wish her only the best for her future!
