exclusive: Bigg Boss Marathi 5’s Nikki Tamboli Opens Up About Arbaz Patel’s Dislike for Her Friendship with Abhijeet Sawant: ‘He Doesn’t Approve’
Bigg Boss Marathi 5 has seen its share of intense chemistry, and one duo that caught everyone’s attention was Nikki Tamboli and Arbaz Patel. The two formed a close bond during their time on the show, sparking curiosity among viewers about their relationship dynamics. One major talking point was Arbaz’s reaction to Nikki’s growing friendship with fellow contestant Abhijeet Sawant.
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Nikki and Arbaz opened up about Arbaz’s possessive nature. Arbaz candidly admitted that he wasn’t too fond of Nikki spending time with others, especially Abhijeet. He explained, “In the house, whether it was Abhijeet or anyone else, I didn’t like it when she spent time with others.”
Arbaz further shared how deeply attached he was to Nikki during the show. “I told her that we couldn’t stay apart from each other. I couldn’t bear being away from her, even if she went to the washroom, I would search for her,” he confessed. His protective behavior was evident throughout their Bigg Boss journey.
Adding a lighthearted twist to the conversation, Nikki revealed a fun fact about Arbaz’s possessiveness, laughing as she said, “He even had a problem if I talked to other girls!” She went on to admit that Arbaz would often say he wanted her attention 24/7, playfully acknowledging his possessive side. “Let’s admit, he doesn’t like it. But he’s not harmful for me,” Nikki assured, downplaying any concerns.
Despite this possessiveness, Arbaz believes that Nikki enjoys the attention, though she clarified that after the show, they have started giving each other more space. Their bond remains strong, and while fans love to “ship” them as a couple with the hashtag #NikBaz, both Nikki and Arbaz have been careful not to label their connection as a formal relationship.
Following their time on Bigg Boss Marathi 5, the pair continues to capture the affection of fans, proving that their close-knit bond is still going strong, even outside the Bigg Boss house.
