Last seen in the horror comedy The Bhootnii, Palak Tiwari shares that she's quite superstitious as a person. 'You know I am very superstitious in life in general. I like to keep the same team, same shoes. It is just all in my head,' said Palak who walked the ramp as a showstopper at Bombay Times Fashion Week .So, is there anything superstitious she follows before hitting the ramp? Or how would she react if she gets trolled for accidently tripping on the ramp? While she laughs off the first question, the latter she reacts saying, 'Maybe I will be sad. Cry a little bit. Eat an ice-cream and move on.' And does she take any tips from her actor, mother Shweta Tiwari and she says, 'When it comes to walking the ramp my mom feels very nervous about me. So, I don't know what tips she will give me (laughs).'In an earlier chat with us, Palak who is frequently seen as a showstopper, addressed the issue, calling out the undue pressure placed on celebrities at fashion events. She said, 'There's a lot of judgment and pressure on celebrity showstoppers these days. People need to understand that we are not claiming to be professional models, nor are we trying to take away their jobs. Actors won't ever say that they are better than models with their ramp walks.'The Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan actress further explained the role of celebrities in fashion shows, saying that they simply help bring a designer's vision to life. 'When a designer envisions an actor as a showstopper, we're there to support that vision. I think if they have envisioned you the least you can do is walk for them in a way that makes them proud. A fashion show is about the designer's vision coming to life and if they envisioned me in their design I would be grateful and humble to walk for them. That's all that celebrities add to a fashion show.'

What Salman Khan Told 18-Year Old Palak Tiwari When She Wanted To Be An Actor

Television actress Shweta Tiwari's daughter Palak Tiwari, who had made her debut with Salman Khan's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan in 2023, recently revealed what the Dabangg actor told her after learning her desire to be an actor. It's Salman Khan who pushed Palak to work behind the camera before facing the camera. What's Happening Palak Tiwari shared how Salman Khan groomed her before her acting debut in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Speaking on the latest episode of The Bombay Journey, by Mashable India, Palak Tiwari said she was only 18 when she wanted to be an actor. After learning upon it, Salman asked her to work behind the camera. "It was at some Bigg Boss reunion, where Salman sir told my mom how tall I had become. He then said, 'Kuch karna warna he life mein (Have you thought of anything with your life)?' I said, 'Yes sir I want to be an actor, sir.' I was 17-18. He said that before you become an actor you need to learn what happens behind the camera. He is such a cool guy. I said okay, because you know as an actor one can take things for granted very easily," recalled Palak. Palak had worked as an Assistant Director on Salman's Antim: The Final Truth. Salman Khan and Ayush Sharma headlined the film. Palak also said that she gets starstruck whenever she meets Salman Khan. "I've done a whole film with him, whenever I meet him till date, or even if I get a message from him, I get star-struck. I usually don't get star-struck, you can make anyone sit in front of me. But when he's in front of me, I stop speaking and start stuttering. He just changed my entire personality. Then he said, 'Aaram se bolo (speak without hesitation)," said Palak. Palak Tiwari's Career Palak Tiwari grabbed eyeballs much before her acting debut. She is a regular on Instagram. Palak Tiwari got noticed first with her stunning performance in the music video Bijlee Bijlee alongside Harrdy Sandhu (also sung by him).

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.
