Mumbai, Sep 2 (NationPress) Former contestant of “Bigg Boss 14” and actress Nikki Tamboli has received a diagnosis of dengue and expressed her disbelief at contracting this illness.
The actress, who just came back from a trip to Dubai, stated: “I genuinely have no idea how this occurred. While in Dubai, I didn’t notice any mosquito bites. To my knowledge, I was never bitten, so it's incredibly surprising to find out that I have dengue.”
“I’m still in disbelief—despite my efforts to maintain my health, I can’t comprehend how this happened,” Nikki added.
Having participated in Celebrity MasterChef India and finishing as the first Runner-Up, the actress has been struggling with the illness for nearly a week, describing her experience as physically exhausting.
“I’ve been feeling unwell for the past six days. My face is so swollen, I can’t even put it into words,” she shared.
“I’m sleeping almost around the clock, taking medication, and trying to stay hydrated.”
In other news, on August 22, Nikki addressed comments made by veteran actor Usha Nadkarni, who referred to her as having an “egoistic” personality.
While affirming her deep respect for the seasoned star, Nikki remarked, “I hold immense respect for Usha ji. Just because you are senior and I am junior, and I don’t flatter you or agree with everything you say, doesn’t give you the right to judge me.”
“Please don’t perceive me as egoistic; I know who I am, as do my fans. Besides the respect I have for you, nobody else has the right to judge me.”
For those unfamiliar, Usha Nadkarni commented in an interview about Nikki, saying that she never initiated any dialogue with her and often seemed reserved and aloof. They worked together on Celebrity MasterChef this year.
Nikki stated, “It’s not simple to emerge as the first runner-up in such a demanding show. However, I achieved it by being authentic. It’s not in my nature to flatter people for acceptance. My fans appreciate me for who I genuinely am, and that emotional connection with them is my true strength,” Nikki concluded.
