Further, Nikki revealed, "I get very scared of creepy crawlies and I feel disgusted and scared around them, which is normal. But when I was given underwater stunts, mujhe meri death dikhayi de rahi thi. Muje laga mai mar rahi hu aur mere mom-dad ko kon bachayega (I could see my death. I thought, I'm dying, and who would save my mom and dad)."
