Nikki Tamboli, who shot to fame after participating in Salman Khan’s ‘Bigg Boss 14’, is all set to perform dare-devil stunts in ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 11’. She has reached Cape Town to commence the shoot of the popular reality show. While she has witnessed growth in her professional life, the ‘Bigg Boss 2020’ second runner-up has been dealing with troubles in her personal life.  


Earlier this week, Nikki’s brother Jatin Tamboli passed away due to COVID-19 and other complications. The Marathi Mulgi penned a long note to inform her fans that she is honoring her work commitments by competing in ‘KKK 11’.

While many fans appreciated Nikki for putting up a brave face despite the major loss, some trolls expressed their displeasure and shamed her for ‘enjoying’ after her brother’s untimely demise. 


She posted a note on her Instagram story to slam the haters for judging and making comments about her.  


“Some stupid people are messaging me and commenting on my pictures that my brother has just passed away few days back, don't you feel shame you are enjoying. So let me tell you idiots that I also have my life, I also deserve to be happy if not for myself for my brother as he loves when I stay happy and these people who have no work but inly have time to comment and spread negativity, I would request you to go and achieve your dreams. It will make you and your parents and your loved ones happy too,” Nikki wrote. 




Nikki had earlier shared details about her brother’s health issues in a post. She wrote, "20 days back my brother got admitted in hospital as his lungs collapsed. He was surviving on one lung. He tested positive for tuberculosis and covid in the hospital. He also got pneumonia and today morning, his heart stopped beating and responding."


Her family members had organised a puja for the well-being of Jatin. Many celebs offered condolence to Nikki's family on social media.
