Nikki Tambola faced severe criticism for traveling to Cape Town to shoot for the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi just two days after her brother died. Many accused Nikki of enjoying herself shortly after the tragedy. The actress cared about the trolls saying that she was doing her job and no one can shame her for it.
“People took it the wrong way. I was already dealing with so much mentally. They said such horrible things about me going to Cape Town leaving my family behind,” she recalls, adding, “But people will always have something to say no matter what you do. Why should I care about that? They’re going to judge you and pass comments anyway. I was doing my job, apne commitment se peechhe nahi hati main. The thought of quitting never came to my mind. I was being a true professional, I don’t care what people have to say.”
“I just wanted to move on, and keep taking challenges and risk. Doing the show was a risk for me because I left my mum and dad in that situation where they couldn’t handle themselves, but still they were my backbone. They told me that you’ve to go there because you have your commitment, and not matter what the situation is, just don’t give up. They’re proud of me,” she explains.
