In a heart-to-heart conversation with the Bombay Times, Nikki Tamboli opened up about the year 2021 and admitted that it was a year full of mixed emotions for her. From cherishing the fame and stardom she had got after her participation in Bigg Boss 14 to losing her brother, Jatin Tamboli, due to COVID-19, it was an unforgettable year for her. Nikki also added that sometimes she thinks that she had paid the price to be successful, as she had lost her brother just when she had started to make waves in the industry. Reflecting on the things she had experienced in the past year, she said:
"In the past one year, I have felt immense happiness and extreme sadness, both at same time. I lost my brother right after I got fame doing Bigg Boss. I feel like I have paid a price for becoming famous. God gave me what I was working hard for, but I lost my brother. I never imagined that people would give me so much love after Bigg Boss, but after a few months I was very sad when my brother passed away. Now I try to be there for my parents all the time, so that they don't get upset thinking about him. I try to keep them busy and happy."
Going further in the interview, Nikki Tamboli also opened up about her participation in another reality show, Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 and shared some secrets about it. The glamorous diva shared that after she had lost her brother, Jatin Tamboli, she had participated in Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 and recalled how she meditated for 10 hours with an empty stomach to gain some mental peace. Hinting at the impact of her brother's loss on her life, Nikki stated that even her parents weren't aware of her situation. She explained:
"I have meditated for around 10 hours without eating and drinking water after my brother passed away. Even my parents don't know about this. When I was in Khatron Ke Khiladi, whenever we had some free time, I used to just meditate and people thought I was sleeping. I have been doing it for my mental peace. I wasn't able to perform well on the action reality show because of my state of mind. Then there was trolling happening too. Amidst all this, meditation did help me."
