Bigg Boss Marathi 5 duo Nikki Tamboli and Arbaz Patel have been celebrating their romance enthusiastically. The pair always openly shows their love for one another, whether on social media or in the presence of photographers. Just a few days prior, Nikki generously offered the paparazzi tasty til-gud laddoos for Makar Sankranti.

On January 16, 2026, Nikki was observed with a white bandage covering one of her eyes. This quickly caused concern among her fans, who inundated Nikki and Arbaz's social media profiles with messages asking about her well-being.

In reaction to the wave of love and concern, Arbaz provided an update on Nikki's health to her supporters. He filmed a video stating that Nikki had formed a small lump close to one of her eyes, necessitating a minor surgical intervention. He mentioned that the procedure was successfully carried out and that Nikki is currently recuperating.

He mentioned, "Nikki ko ek chota sa chalazion ho gaya tha; woh thoda bump jaisa ho jata hai. Infection ke kaaran hua hai, lekin abhi humne surgery karwa li hai." (Nikki developed a minor chalazion on her eyelid. It resembles a lump and is caused by an infection. We have managed to get it working.)

Arbaz Patel stated that Nikki has been recommended to take a break for at least two days, after which she will provide her health update directly to her fans. He expressed gratitude to all for their ongoing care, affection, and assistance for Nikki.

Nikki, recognized for her candid personality, revealed in an interview with Farah Khan that she joined the Bigg Boss Marathi house to look for a boyfriend. She mentioned, “I informed the creators I desire a boyfriend. Quit the online dating apps, and put me on Bigg Boss!” she joked. Hindi Bigg Boss provided her with fame, but she sought love from Marathi Bigg Boss. And by chance, that’s precisely when Arbaz entered her life—right on stage.

She mentioned in the same interview earlier that she has an irritable nature, but Arbaz handles it well, and he is a peaceful and calm person. She also mentioned how he is younger than her, but maturity is not defined by age but by how supportive, honest, and grounded a person is.
