Actor, reality TV star, @Nikki_Tamboli

Reality TV star Nikki loves binge-watching a new series on Sundays.

Currently I am: Shooting for a new reality show and juggling brand collaborations. It’s a hectic but happy time.

High point in life: Stepping into the Bigg Boss 14 house. It changed everything for me, not just my career. I became more confident and it changed the way people saw me.

Low point in life: Losing my brother to Covid in 2021. It broke me for a while.

On my playlist: Raataan Lambiyan, by Asees Kaur and Jubin Nautiyal; Calm Down, by Rema and Selena Gomez; Tum Hi Ho, by Arijit Singh.

One thing I would never buy: Fake friends. They’re the most expensive mistake you can make.

Today I’m craving: A big bowl of homemade rajma chawal.

Last thing I ordered online: Scented candles.

App I check before bed: Instagram. It’s part work, part guilty pleasure.

Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self: Be fearless, stay real, and stop overthinking. Everything you’re dreaming of is waiting for you, just keep going.

My favourite subject in school: Economics.

I’d swipe right on: Honesty and a good sense of humour.

My secret skill is: Mimicry. Both voices and expressions. My friends often end up in splits!

A magic tool I wish I had: A way to heal people physically and emotionally. The world would be such a better place if we all could.

My favourite Sunday memory: Long naps, cartoons, Mom’s special poha for breakfast.

My plans for next Sunday: Sleep in, spend time with my pet, and maybe binge-watch a new series.

My most star-struck moment: Meeting Salman Khan for the first time during Bigg Boss. To interact with him every weekend was surreal.

My favourite bad habit: Late-night snacking. I tell myself it’s creative fuel.

If I could travel back or forward in time: I’d revisit my school days, no deadlines, no stress. Just dreams and laughter.

The best thing about fame: Being able to inspire people and connect with fans who genuinely love you. Their messages keep me going on tough days.

The worst thing about fame: Constant judgment. People forget that celebrities are human too. We feel, we break, we heal just like everyone else.

Both Nikki Tamboli and Usha Nadkarni worked together in ‘Celebrity MasterChef’.

Usha Nadkarni

Usha Nadkarni said some things about Nikki Tamboli’s behavior in the interview, which the actress did not like. Talking to one of the media houses about her behavior, Usha Tai said, ‘I am the way I am and say things directly, but this does not make me arrogant. I have never pretended to be someone.

Let us tell you that Nikki Tamboli again reacted to what Usha Nadkarni said about her. She said, ‘I have a lot of respect for Usha ji. Just because you are senior and I am junior, and I don’t flatter you or say yes to everything, it doesn’t mean that you can say anything about me. Please don’t think of me as arrogant. I know my personality. And my fans also know how I am. I respect you, but let me tell you that no one has the right to judge me.’

When Usha was asked if she liked Nikki, she said, ‘I don’t like nonsense. I am not angry with Nikki, but she is bigger, baba. We are all small people. We should not talk much. If we are smaller, we should remain small. I don’t talk much to bigger people, because she doesn’t talk. She never mixed and interacted with us ever on the show.’
