Nikki Tamboli break her silence over her remarks on Rajiv Adatia : 'Sometimes, a fun moment..'

After gaining recognition for her performances in Bigg Boss 14 and Khatron Ke Khiladi 11, Nikki Tamboli is now showcasing her culinary skills on Celebrity MasterChef. However, a recent lighthearted exchange with Rajiv Adatia on the show sparked an unexpected controversy.

During a fun banter, Nikki playfully referred to Rajiv as 'angrez'. While the remark was meant in jest, some viewers misinterpreted it, leading to accusations of racism. Social media soon became divided, with some criticizing her choice of words and others defending her intent.

Addressing the backlash, Nikki has now broken her silence, clarifying that her comment was never meant to offend. She emphasized that it was a lighthearted joke between friends that was blown out of proportion.

As reported by The Times of India, Nikki responded to the allegations, stating "Sometimes, a fun moment between friends gets misunderstood, and that’s exactly what happened here. We always joke around, and this was no different. There was never any intention to offend or hurt anyone. Rajiv and I talked about it, and we actually laughed at how much it was blown out of proportion. Everything is absolutely fine between us. Let’s not turn a harmless joke into something it was never meant to be."

With her clarification, Nikki reassured her fans that the moment was purely in good humor and that there was no malice behind her words. The incident serves as a reminder of how easily lighthearted conversations can be misinterpreted, especially in the age of social media.
