Manoj Tiwari's daughter Rhiti Tiwari has opened up about her childhood, equation with her father and the financial challenges she claims to have faced while growing up. Appearing on Bigg Boss 20, Rhiti spoke candidly about her parents' divorce and revealed that she would meet her father only once a year during her childhood.

Rhiti Tiwari talks about her strained relationship with father

In the episode, Rhiti recalled that her parents' relationship was strained after their divorce, which affected her communication with her father. "When my mother and father got divorced, my father left. He would call, but I could not speak to him because my parents used to fight a lot at that time. I would meet him only once a year," she said.

Rhiti said that as she grew older, she became increasingly curious about her father and wanted to understand him beyond his public image. At 18, she decided that she wanted to live with him and get to know him better. "When I turned 18, I decided that I wanted to stay with my father. I wanted to know what kind of person he was," she shared.

While Manoj Tiwari's name and success have given Rhiti recognition, she said she did not inherit his wealth or professional advantages. According to her, her father also made it clear that he would not use his influence to build her career. "He made it very clear that he would not help me in my career. He told me that I would have to make my own name," she said.

Rhiti reveals father Manoj Tiwari gives her Rs 25k as allowance

Rhiti also spoke about the financial support she receives from her father. She clarified that while he does give her money for monthly expenses, it is not an unlimited allowance. She said the amount is around Rs 20,000-25,000 a month and claimed that managing her expenses within that amount can be difficult.

Describing how she manages her daily needs, Rhiti said there have been occasions when she has cut back on food and other expenses. She claimed that she sometimes eats a Rs 10 vada pav twice a day to save money and said she fills Rs 500 worth of diesel depending on her requirements.

Addressing assumptions about being a celebrity's daughter, Rhiti said people often presume she has grown up with every luxury. "Everyone thinks I came with a silver spoon. No, I am also a normal person, and this is very difficult," she said.

Her revelations offered viewers a glimpse into a lesser-known side of her life and her efforts to establish an identity independent of her father's fame.
