One of the most memorable and touching moments that Indian reality television has given us this year is the moment where Arbaz Patel proposed to his girlfriend, Nikki Tambol, ati The 50 house has made an impression on fans all over the country.
Considered to be an emotionally bold step, Patel proposed to Tamboli’s house contestant Nikki The 50 all of the competitors. Most people remember this reality show where 50 celebrities live in a house and compete against 50 people most people remember this reality show for the drama, and for the strategies and game play. However, this moment finally moved the focus away from the game and to reality.
As Arbaz Patel made his statement to fellow houseguests, he was most likely a little nervous. However, when Nikki said YES to the proposal, everyone was in a festive and celebratory mood. The house lit up with applause and cheers. The whole house was full of excitement and were very happy to be a part of the moment that was televised.
What made this proposal so emotional was the meaning behind it. Nikki was clearly touched as Arbaz was speaking, and she opened up about the tough times the couple has been through, including the disconsent of her father because of their religious differences. This was a big real-world problem compared to the made up ones on the screen.
Nikki’s yes to the proposal even showed family opposition, and commitment to their relationship. Fans from home celebrated, and took to social media, and praised the couple, Arbaz for his courage, and Nikki for her emotional answer.
Arbaz and Nikki’s love story started from Bigg Boss Marathi season 5, and their relationship became the talk of the town due to their chemistry. The journey continued from the show, and the proposal on The 50 is a milestone in their public journey.
Though most of The 50 is based in a competitive setting, with a lot of strategy and game play, this romantic moment was a nice contrast – helping show audiences that in spite of a game setting, true connections and feelings can be present.
The proposal has created a lot of buzz online, and a lot of fan speculation about whether this means a real life wedding is in the cards. Hashtags celebrating the couple began to trend almost immediately after the episode, making this one of the most discussed moments in mainstream Indian television.
With the ongoing season of The 50, fans aren’t just excited for the next competitive challenge, but also to see how Arbaz and Nikki’s love story develops, both inside the competition and after.
