Her fans are now excited to see her perform on Jhalak as the show returns to TV after a long time. The season is rumoured to have Shah Rukh Khan , Kajol and Farah Khan as judges but looks like for Nikki, all work on that front will have to wait till she has fully recovered.

With Covid-19 cases on the rise again, states like Maharashtra and New Delhi are on alert which have previously also recorded a high volume of cases.
