Recently, Nikki was given crabs in the pressure tests and looking at it she broke down in tears as it reminded her of her grandfather. In a heartwrenching anecdote, she said, “We don’t make crab in our household. My nanaji was an army officer. He had sugar. In our house in Aurangabad, we have many pets. He got scratched on his thigh by one of the pets. If you are diabetic, any kind of injury gets septic very quickly. He got a pus there, and by not getting treated timely, his thigh had to get amputated. Since he was in the Army, we had to inform him that he was not going to live longer. My nani asked him his last wish, and his last wish was to eat crab. He ate the crab, and within one hour, he was no more. Since then, we have never cooked crab.”
