In a heartwarming revelation on Farah Khan's popular food vlog, television personalities Nikki Tamboli and Arbaz Patel opened up about their unexpected romantic journey that began during their time on Bigg Boss Marathi. The couple shared intimate details about how destiny played its cards, bringing them together through a series of coincidences and missed connections.
The Beginning: Missed Messages and Stage Encounters
Nikki Tamboli disclosed a surprising fact that Arbaz Patel had actually messaged her on social media long before they officially met. "I discovered his DM only after our stage interaction," Nikki recalled with amusement. "He had sent it back in 2021, but I never noticed it because I was constantly moving between projects and life was incredibly hectic."
The discovery of this long-forgotten message added a delightful twist to their love story, making them realize that destiny had been trying to connect them much earlier than they imagined. Their first proper meeting happened backstage during Bigg Boss Marathi, where Nikki remembered hearing a voice that caught her attention. "I heard a voice and thought, 'This voice is very weak,'" she laughed during the conversation with Farah Khan.
Love Finds Its Way in the Bigg Boss House
With her characteristic honesty, Nikki admitted that she entered Bigg Boss Marathi with a specific mission - to find a boyfriend. "I told the makers, I want a boyfriend. Stop online dating apps, send me to Bigg Boss!" she revealed jokingly. While Hindi Bigg Boss had brought her fame, she hoped the Marathi version would bring her love.
Her wish came true when Arbaz walked into her life at the perfect moment. Nikki described their connection as "love at first sight," confessing that she felt an immediate attraction. "It was love at first sight," she said, adding that on stage she had even hinted to others that "He is my guy." She strongly believed that the universe had orchestrated their meeting at exactly the right time.
Navigating Relationships and Age Differences
Inside the Bigg Boss house, their relationship went through its share of challenges. Nikki revealed that 75% of the time Arbaz was against her during discussions and tasks, yet their bond remained strong through these disagreements. "We never nominated each other," she emphasized, highlighting the unspoken loyalty they maintained throughout the competition.
Addressing the chatter about their age difference, Nikki spoke candidly about how their personalities complement each other. "I have a very irritable nature since childhood, but he takes it nicely. He is peaceful and calm," she explained. The actress acknowledged that Arbaz is three years younger than her but stressed that maturity isn't defined by age alone.
For Nikki, what matters most is how supportive, grounded, and patient a partner is - qualities she believes Arbaz embodies perfectly. Their journey from a missed DM to finding love in the most unexpected place serves as a modern-day romance story that continues to capture the hearts of their fans.
