Cryptic Posts Spark Breakup Rumors for Nikki Tamboli and Arbaaz Patel
Nikki Tamboli and Arbaaz Patel have become the subject of intense social media speculation after both shared cryptic notes about cheating on their Instagram stories. The posts, which hinted at infidelity, set off a wave of rumors that the couple, known for their time on Bigg Boss Marathi 5, had called it quits.
Nikki Tamboli's Cryptic Response
On Monday, August 31, Nikki was spotted in Mumbai by paparazzi and was immediately questioned about the state of her relationship with Arbaaz. When asked directly if the breakup rumors were true, she responded enigmatically, saying, "Bas kal pata chal jayega" (You will know by tomorrow). She repeated this sentiment when asked about Arbaaz's whereabouts, adding, "Iska jawab hum nahi dena pasand karenge" (We would prefer not to answer that).
When pressed further, Nikki smiled and said, "Abhi bahut kuch aayega sunne mein" (You will hear a lot more), and when asked directly if they had broken up, she replied, "Pyaar hua hai aap sab se" (I have love for all of you), before making a zipping motion over her lips.
Arbaaz Patel's Instagram Announcement
Arbaaz Patel, too, addressed the rumors in his own way, taking to his Instagram channel to say, "Kal main 12 baje video dalunga, story pe. Aaplog dekh lena, sab clear ho jayega" (I will post a video at 12; you'll all see and everything will be clear). The announcement left fans and followers puzzled about what to expect, with many speculating about the contents of the upcoming video.
Social Media Activity Points to Possible Split
The speculation was further fueled by reports that the couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram. Additionally, Nikki shared a selfie video on her Instagram Story featuring the song "Chhod Chhad Ke Apne Salim Ki Gali…," and reposted a post that read, "My relationship status: I'm single, but there's a man who's not my man, but because of him, there's no other man." Arbaaz also posted a message on his Instagram story that read, "Cheating on your partner, then coming home to them and looking them in their eyes, telling them you love them is a whole different level of disrespect."
Netizens Speculate About Bigg Boss 20 Tie-in
Some netizens have speculated that the cryptic posts and statements are nothing more than promotional tactics. With Bigg Boss 20 set to premiere on September 6, fans have been quick to draw connections. One user wrote, "I have a feeling they will get few old contestants.. one of them is nikki tamboli #BiggBoss20." Nikki, who was the second runner-up on Bigg Boss 14, is a familiar face on the show, but Arbaaz has yet to participate in the reality series.
No Official Confirmation
As of now, neither Nikki Tamboli nor Arbaaz Patel has officially confirmed their breakup. The couple, who fell in love while on Bigg Boss Marathi 5, have remained tight-lipped about the rumours, leaving their fans and the media in a state of anticipation for the promised video and clarity.
