Bigg Boss fame Nikki Tamboli was recently sighted outside a hospital in Mumbai, accompanied by her boyfriend Arbaz Patel. Viral videos and photos showed the actress with her right eye covered with a bandage, raising concerns among her fans. Responding to media queries, Tamboli confirmed that she underwent treatment for a 'cyst' in her eye, stating, 'Ek cyst aagaya tha usika treatment hua hai' (There was a cyst, that has been treated). Her boyfriend, Arbaz Patel, later provided further details, clarifying that Nikki had developed a chalazion, a condition caused by blocked oil glands in the eyelid, which required a minor surgical procedure. He assured fans that Nikki is now doing well and is in recovery. Hindustan Times reported exclusively that Tamboli has been advised to rest following the eye surgery. Nikki also revealed that this was not her first encounter with a chalazion, having previously undergone surgery for it in 2018. She attributed the recurrence, in part, to prolonged use of heavy makeup during shoots, particularly for shows like 'MasterChef', where extensive eye makeup was required for long hours. The news has been widely covered by several prominent Indian media houses, including Times of India, Hindustan Times, News18, and LatestLY, all corroborating the details of her eye surgery.
