Raising a child in the spotlight is no easy task, but
Shweta Tiwari
has done it with grit, grace, and grounded parenting. Shweta opened up in a recent interview about how she raised her daughter, actor
Palak Tiwari
, with firm rules and financial discipline.
Firm House Rules and Curfew Protocol
In a conversation on Bharti TV's YouTube channel, the actress shared that while she wasn't overly strict, she maintained clear rules at home. Palak Tiwari followed a firm curfew and was expected to be home at the promised time. Shweta ensured she had contact details of Palak's friends and their mothers, ready to reach out if her daughter's phone was unreachable. She also kept track of Palak's location, making sure she was safe and accountable while stepping out.
No Phone or Makeup Until the Right Age
Shweta admitted she was always a bit concerned for Palak's safety, especially because of societal challenges. Despite Palak not drinking alcohol, Shweta was aware that people around her did. To maintain control and protect her daughter, she didn't allow Palak to use makeup until the age of 16 and withheld giving her a phone until she completed her schooling.
Chores for Extra Cash

Palak was given a set monthly budget—if she exceeded it, she had to earn the difference by helping around the house. There was even a fixed rate for each chore: ₹1000 for cleaning the bathroom, ₹500 for making the bed, and ₹1000 for doing the dishes. Knowing the system, Palak would often complete extra chores in advance if she anticipated going over budget.
Tiwari revealed that ever since Palak started earning, she has been managing and investing her daughter's income. She ensures only a limited amount stays in Palak's account, while the rest is directed into savings and investments. Shweta also involves Palak in the process by making her sign cheques and banking documents, teaching her financial responsibility and the importance of long-term planning.

Ranveer Allahbadia clears the air on fake rejection claims, reflects on controversy, and returns with new podcast episodes
After India's Got Latent controversy earlier this year, some Bollywood stars claimed they had turned down invites to be on Ranveer Allahbadia 's show. But now, Ranveer—popularly known as The Beer Biceps , has cleared the air. In a recent interview, he said many of those celebrities were never actually invited by his team. He admitted that these false claims left him feeling "upset and angry." Ranveer Allahbadia addresses fake rejection claims Ranveer told Prafful Garg, 'It was a feeding frenzy. Some celebrities claimed that they'd even rejected an invite to the show. The truth is that we never invited them in the first place. In such situations, I felt angry at human beings in general. But I realised that the predicament that I was in was a result of my own actions." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I Saw Two Bikers Mocking A Fat Truck Driver, But They Regretted It When They Discovered Who He Really Was Plays Star Undo The podcaster added, 'I couldn't change the past, but I could change the future. I got a forced break after a crazy, intense six-year podcasting journey. I'm just trying to move on; I've tried to forgive a lot of people, even myself, and to a degree, I've been successful." India's Got Latent row Earlier this year, Ranveer Allahbadia faced major backlash over an episode of India's Got Latent. During the show, he asked a contestant a highly inappropriate question. Although the panelists, including Apoorva Mukhija and Ashish Chanchlani , laughed at the comment, it didn't sit well with the audience. The clip went viral and sparked outrage online, leading to multiple FIRs being filed against Ranveer and the show's creators. Returns with new podcast episodes The controversy grew bigger when the National Commission for Women (NCW) got involved, and Ranveer Allahbadia had to issue a written apology. The Supreme Court later gave him temporary protection from arrest but strongly criticized his comments, calling them 'vulgar' and saying he had a 'dirty mind' that brought shame to society. Despite the backlash, Ranveer has recently made a comeback and resumed his podcast. Celebrities like Boman Irani , Shruti Haasan , and Tara Sutaria have already appeared as guests on the show.

That reel is not going to put food on your plate: Indian model slams fashion shows for unfair pay
Indian model Roshni Sharma ignited a debate by exposing the fashion industry's exploitation, citing low pay and emotional manipulation. Veteran Sonalika Sahay and other models supported her, highlighting issues like bloggers earning more and backlash for demanding fair wages. They emphasized the need for collective action to address the industry's broken economics and ensure models receive fair compensation and respect. For an industry built on glamour, the Indian fashion world has a dark, hushed reality, one that many models have lived through, but few have dared to voice. That is, until now. Earlier this week, model Roshni Sharma took to Instagram with a candid, no-holds-barred post that pulled the veil off the deeply ingrained exploitation models face on the runway. Her words were raw, pointed, and painfully honest, a mirror held up to an industry that often celebrates beauty while quietly underpaying the very women who walk for it. 'The rates for a fashion week especially for a pool model should be around 40k minimum per day and the stay and travel should included - if you are someone with experience and have walked a lot, please don't feel insecure and ask for a better budget, if you think you deserve it. If you're with an agency, always ask your agent to pay you at higher rates than the previous season,' she wrote. Roshni didn't stop there. She called out how models are often emotionally manipulated with promises of going viral or being 'seen,' especially when walking for high-profile events like leading fashion weeks. 'That reel is not going to put food on your plate neither on anybody's plate,' she added. She also highlighted the physical toll of the job. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play this game for 1 minute and see why everyone is addicted. Undo 'When you walk as a model, you are basically putting in efforts of being in measurements that is very very difficult to maintain with the right kind of food and the right kind of wellness routine. The brand that you walk for are making hundred times the amount you get paid when you walk for them. Please be smart before it's too late.' The response was instant and intense. Fashion veteran Sonalika Sahay echoed Sharma's sentiment, shedding light on a bigger, systemic problem. 'Good point, Roshni. Rates have hit rock bottom, largely because agencies are offering models to these fashion weeks simply for mileage. Add to that the internal undercutting cartel, and it's become a deeply unhealthy ecosystem,' she commented. 'We've now reached a stage where, on some occasions, bloggers are paid more than the models on the ramp. What's worse is that asking for your rightful show rate often invites backlash. The industry has become so fragmented that even our own people resist any attempt to raise standards. Fixing this would require a collective effort. We have tried for years but it feels like trying to rein in a mammoth,' added Sahay. Other models chimed in, validating the growing frustration. Model Teajay Gill didn't mince his words: 'Models taking up campaign shoots and big TVCs for 30–40k and shows for 5–10k have ruined the market.' Model Mannat Khanna simply added: 'Someone had to say it. Thank you.' The modelling industry in India has always had two faces, one that shines under the runway lights and another that quietly absorbs the exploitation. What these voices are doing is bringing both into focus. It's not just about low rates. It's about dignity. Fairness. Acknowledgement of the time, effort, and physical discipline it takes to maintain a sample-size body, be on call for castings, deal with last-minute fittings, and bring a designer's vision to life, only to be told that exposure should be enough of a reward. When models are penalised for asking for a decent paycheque, when bloggers and influencers, no shade to them, are paid higher simply for reach, and when fashion weeks continue to rake in profits while their core talent remains under-compensated, something is fundamentally broken. And for an industry that thrives on aesthetics and progressiveness, it's ironic how regressive its economics can be. If this post by Roshni Sharma sparks even a small shift in how models value themselves and how the industry values them, it will be a step forward. Because exposure doesn't pay rent. And reels, as she put it, don't put food on your plate. The Indian fashion industry may be watching, but the question is, will it listen?
