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.
