How Nikki Tamboli and Arbaz Patel romance started?
During a vlog with Farah Khan, Arbaz Patel revealed that he had tried establishing contact with Nikki back in 2021 and dmed her, which got no response.
When he was selected for Big Boss Marathi, coincidentally, Nikki was also a contestant there and Arbaz recognised her from her voice at backstage.
“This sounds like Nikki Tamboli.” Arbaz recalled how he met Nikki at backstage during Big Boss Marathi.
Nikki developed an instant attraction to Arbaz when she saw him for the first time in Big Boss Marathi and claimed him as his guy. She said that it was love at first sight for her.
“Yeh mera Banda hai” Nikki Tamboli told Farah Khan on how she reacted when she saw Arbaz for the first time. Nikki searched for Arbaz on Instagram after returning to Vanity Van. That was when she saw Arbaz’s old DM.
Nikki Tamboli is 29 years of age while her boyfriend Arbaz is around 26 years of age.
Interestingly, Nikki had told the makers of BB Marathi that she wanted a boy alongside him inside the house as she was single.
On Why She Keeps Blocking Him
During the conversation with Farah Khan, Tamboli opens up a hilarious aspect of her personal life as she mentions about blocking her boyfriend Arbaz Patel from time to time. She opines that she often blocks him whenever she gets irritated easily.
“He often gets blocked from me time to time. If I go to events and I feel irritated by his behaviour, I block him. I get irritated very easily — it’s a habit from childhood.”
When Farah asked whether Arbaaz handles Nikki’s irritation easily, she jokes, ‘No, no. He is younger to me. Understanding is there between us. He is getting matured slowly and steadily.’”
