Nikkhil, who underwent an appendicitis surgery on July 26, in his hometown Pune, revealed to Bombay Times, "It started out as a regular stomach ache, which I thought was a case of acidity and indigestion. But, it turned out to be a badly swollen appendix and became more complicated and painful because it ruptured and the pus spread inside my stomach. If I had delayed it a little more, anything could’ve happened. God is great."

Confirming that he was not COVID-19 positive but in the hospital because of his operation, Nikkhil told the daily, "The good news is that I am COVID negative for the time being, but my city Pune continues to bleed and deliver horrific numbers." Well, we wish Nikkhil a speedy recovery.
