Dalljiet's tumultuous relationship with Nikhil began with a grand wedding in Mumbai in March 2023. She moved to Kenya with her son to live with Nikhil.

The situation escalated on August 2 when Nikhil arrived in Mumbai with Safeena. Photos of the couple engaging in PDA circulated online, prompting Dalljiet to share a heartfelt note on social media. She expressed her anguish, stating she could no longer hold back her tears. This public display and subsequent legal action have brought the ongoing conflict between Dalljiet and Nikhil into the spotlight, highlighting the emotional and legal struggles she faces.
