In a recent chat, Palak Tiwari reflected on the journey she had while making her acting debut with superstar Salman Khan.
Actress Shweta Tiwari's daughter, Palak Tiwari, made her acting debut with Salman Khan's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan in 2023. Along with the memorable experience of working alongside the superstar, the 24-year-old also learned valuable lessons about balancing her professional and personal life. Recently, in a candid conversation, Palak reflected on her journey and shared insights about her growth and learnings.
In a conversation with the Bombay Times, Palak Tiwari talked about her acting debut opposite Salman Khan. Calling the experience 'daunting", she mentioned, 'In a room full of legends, I wondered—what's my point here?"
However, she also had a quick realisation. 'But I realised I was there to learn. I think it's shaped me as an actor permanently, whatever I learnt and my experience from that set for which I am always and eternally grateful for that experience," she elaborated.
Tiwari continued discussing the valuable lessons she got from her Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan co-star Salman Khan during the filming of their movie. The actress mentioned how the superstar taught her to balance work with youth. 'Party till 5 am, shoot at 7 am," she said.

In addition to this, Palak also revealed that her mother, Shweta, keeps being her biggest critic and compass. She said, 'She's my filter. When I feel something about a performance but can't explain it, she puts it into words." adding, 'I feel like speaking to her is sometimes speaking to a future version of myself, so that also feels good because I think she and I were very similar at our ages, though I am more vain and perhaps more materialistic. My mom was always very family-focused. But there are times when I am just like, how should I do this, and because she has had exactly those thoughts in exactly that age, she knows exactly how to explain it to me, and I think that is invaluable to me."
Speaking about Palak and Salman's bond, the duo has known each other since Palak's childhood. Their connection dates back to when Shweta Tiwari participated in Bigg Boss 4, and a young Palak had visited the sets to support her mother. During the trailer launch of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Salman fondly recalled the moment, saying, 'I worked with her mother in Bigg Boss. She had come to drop her off at the house. [That season] had Dolly (Bindra) too (laughs). But her mother had a great time in the house. I remember Palak was eight years old then. That was the first time I met her."
Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan also stars Venkatesh Daggubati, Pooja Hegde, Jagapathi Babu, Bhumika Chawla, Vijender Singh, Abhimanyu Singh, Raghav Juyal, Siddharth Nigam, Jassie Gill, Shehnaaz Gill, and Vinali Bhatnagar in key roles.
