Palak Tiwari On Comparisons With Ananya Panday, Suhana, Ibrahim Ali Khan: 'People Will Talk…'
In a competitive industry where every newcomer is under the spotlight, Bhootnii star and TV actor Shweta Tiwari's daughter, Palak Tiwari, is determined to keep her focus on her own path. The young actor recently opened up about dealing with pressure, especially when comparisons are drawn between her and fellow star kids like Suhana Khan, Ananya Panday, and Ibrahim Ali Khan.
During a candid conversation with Mashable India, Palak reflected on how she manages the stress that comes with expectations. 'I try not to take any pressure because pressure acts as a hindrance when you are trying to do your best work. Also, I find acting, most therapeutic. It has been my childhood dream to be an actor. I am most happy when I am in front of the camera. I am content that I am able to fulfil my dreams, so why should I think about anyone else? People will talk, and it will come to me later, but that can all be handled. For now, I am happy that I am acting."
Acknowledging the shared journey of young actors in the industry, Palak also spoke about how they connect off-camera. 'Everyone is on their journey. Everyone is going through a challenging time because it is hard to make a name for yourself at such a young age. We are all finding ourselves as performers, even Bollywood is reshaping its future, but I am sure we will figure it out," she added.
Palak was last seen in Bhootnii, a supernatural film released earlier this month. The movie featured a star-studded ensemble including Sanjay Dutt, Mouni Roy, Sunny Singh, Aasif Khan, and Beyounick. Directed by Sidhaant Sachdev and produced by Deepak Mukut along with Sanjay Dutt, the film added another milestone to Palak's early career.

Palak Tiwari calls mom Shweta Tiwari a ‘strong woman'; says ‘I knew whatever I would do in life I will have her backing'
Palak Tiwari , who is steadily making her mark in Bollywood, recently opened up about the deep influence her mother Shweta Tiwari has had on her life and career. Coming from a family of strong women, Palak spoke to Mashable India about how their resilience shaped her outlook. "My mom being an overachiever takes the pressure off me. In my family, we have the heritage of strong women. My nani, then my mom, all the elder women in the family are overachievers," Palak said. She further recalled how her grandmother stood by her mother during her early career struggles. "My nani was a clerk at a law office. She was very intelligent. When my mom wanted to pursue acting, everyone was against her but my nani supported her. That reduces the pressure. My mother was raised by a strong woman and my mom is a strong woman. So, I knew no matter what I do, I will have my mother's backing." Sharing a light-hearted memory from her childhood, Palak added, 'My mom's eyes are enough to scare me. She only slapped me once. Main khane ke liye bahut natak karti thi. Main khana nahi khaati thi. We had a dog, Tobby, who's no more with us. He was young then. He would eat everything. Mom gave Bournvita, and she told me to drink it but instead Tobby licked it. My mom slapped me hard, but that was the first and last time. She was scared of her nail extension and Tobby also got stressed. ' Shweta Tiwari, known for her iconic role in Kasautii Zindagii Kay, has built a successful television career, navigating both professional highs and personal challenges with grace and strength. Meanwhile, Palak entered the industry with her Bollywood debut in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, starring opposite Salman Khan, and is now steadily establishing herself. Their beautiful bond is a perfect example of love, support, and strength between a mother and daughter.
