Rubina Dilaik: ‘It Was Heart-Wrenching To Know That Nikki Lost Her Brother Yet She Went For Khatron Ke Khiladi 11’

We saw many bonds being made and broken in the Bigg Boss house during the 14^th season. While some contestants stayed by each other’s side till the end, there were many that ‘broke up’ mid way. Well, Nikki Tamboli and Rubina Dilaik’s unlikely friendship is one bond that stole our heart. With their completely different yet bold personalities, nobody expected them to ever become friends. However, by the end of the season they were like sisters. They looked out for each other and grew closer than ever before. Nikki and Rubina’s husband Abhinav Shukla also bonded well during the show and are now participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi 11.

In a recent chat with TOI, Rubina opened up about her BFF and shared, “Nikki is a very strong girl and I have learnt quite a bit from her in many ways. I remember when we were in Bigg Boss she told me that her brother wasn’t keeping well. He had some surgery and he was bedridden for quite a long time. When she came out of the house, he was stable. But later he got COVID due to which he was hospitalised for 20 days. The way she has handled herself and taken care of her family is very inspiring. And she doesn’t let that hamper her work.”

She went on to add, “I think many people don’t know that her brother was suffering for a very long time and she was suffering with him but she never gave up. It was heart-wrenching to know that she lost her young brother yet she went for Khatron ke Khiladi because she had committed to doing the show. The way she’s handling all this at such young age is really brave of her. She’s doing good for herself and I am proud of her and I know she is going to shine.”

Nikki lost her brother Jatin Tamboli earlier this month. She was heartbroken but still plucked up courage and decided to participate in the stunt reality show because it was her brother’s dream. We wish her all the best!
