Exclusive – Nikki Tamboli on participating in ‘The 50’ despite health issues; says ‘This is definitely very risky for me because I’ve just recovered from dengue and eye infection’

Health-wise, this is definitely a big challenge for me, especially this year. The 50 is a task-based show that demands focus, alertness, and physical effort, which makes it even tougher. At the same time, I feel that a woman’s acting career has a limited window, so when a good opportunity comes your way, you shouldn’t let it go. I didn’t want to miss this reality show because if I hadn’t taken the chance, I would have felt like I gave up on myself. I believe I am capable, I can stand on my own feet, and challenges will always come in life. Health is important, but success or failure can only be known after you try. If you don’t even make the effort, then I feel life loses its meaning. I’m not so unwell that I need complete bed rest. I can walk, see, think, and understand. That’s why I truly believe the decision I’ve made is the right one. (Photo: Instagram)
