Arbaaz surprised Nikki by expressing his feelings openly. As he held her hand, he said, “Main aaj apni khoobsurat partner ko sabke saamne propose karunga.” He then knelt down and continued, “Ye strong hai, main bhi strong hoon. Main pehle gusse mein rehta tha. Kabhi shant nahi rehta tha. Lekin jab main Nikki ko dekhta hoon, main shant ho jaata hoon. Chahe main kitna bhi gusse mein rahun, kitni bhi hamari bahas ho, Nikki ko dekhkar main settle ho jaata hoon. Main tumse bahut pyaar karta hoon.”

His heartfelt words left many contestants emotional. Nikki, clearly moved, said “Yes” and hugged Arbaaz as others clapped and cheered. The house, known for arguments and drama, suddenly felt full of warmth and celebration.

However, the moment also came with an honest confession from Nikki about the challenges in their relationship.

Speaking about her family’s reaction, she revealed that her father is not in favour of their relationship. Nikki said, “Ye moment main hamesha chahti thi, lekin dar bhi lagta hai kyunki hum alag dharm se hain. Hum 1.5 saal se saath hain. Mere papa is rishte ko sweekar nahi kar rahe hain. Main apne papa ke khilaaf gayi hoon.”

She further explained her feelings about balancing love and family. Nikki shared, “Kyuki meri maa ne mujhe sikhaya hai ki aapko kisi ke liye apne pyaar ka balidan nahi dena chahiye. Mere pita ka mere liye pyaar alag hai. Partner ka alag hai. Umeed hai mere papa ye baat samjhenge kyunki main Arbaaz se pyaar karti hoon.”
