Commenting on her equation with him, Nikki Tamboli shared, "Honestly, I'm not his friend because I don't allow many people in my space.

She then mentioned that their equation was full of ups and downs. Nikki acknowledged that the differences stemmed from her side, as she can’t tolerate things she doesn’t like. The Celebrity MasterChef fame shared, “Only contestants know what goes on behind the camera, only contestants know. No contestant has ever spoken about it on camera. But I know. Gaurav was called a ‘crybaby’ of the show.”
She continued, "We are not friends. Whenever he needs me in his life, I'm always there for him because that's the love I have for everybody." Nikki said whatever their bond is, everyone has seen it on the show. She revealed that Gaurav claimed they are friends in one of the interviews. Talking about this, Nikki explained that she can't be friends with him just because they did a reality show together.
The Bigg Boss 14 fame emphasized how friendship is very special and not everyone can be a friend. Nikki said, "You can take a stand for everyone and can be helpful towards anyone. But you can't allow everyone in your life and call them your friend. Friends are very few. If you are seeing me as a friend, I'm sorry, you should first look into yourself and see if you are saying things that are true. You can't hurt a friend. You can fool around with them, but you cannot hurt them."
When asked about the reason for calling Gaurav ‘a guy’ and not ‘a man,’ Nikki revealed that during one of the episodes of Celebrity MasterChef, she and Gaurav clashed. Nikki recalled their fight and mentioned how Gaurav was trying to be “dominating.” She also said there were many things that happened behind the camera and admitted that she cannot be “fake.”
On the work front, Nikki Tamboli has participated in several reality shows, including Bigg Boss 14, Khatron Ke Khiladi 11, Bigg Boss Marathi 5, and more.
