Palak Tiwari opens up on not being a ‘typical' star kid: There is privilege but not enough of it
Two years after her debut in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Palak Tiwari returned to the big screen this May with the horror-comedy The Bhootnii. But the actor insists that her journey hasn't been like any other industry kid. Being the daughter of actor Shweta Tiwari, Palak Tiwari is a star kid, but with her mum's stronger background being in TV, she wasn't seen as any other star kid in the Hindi film industry. 'I was somewhere in this middle ground. I was like, 'oh these people are calling me a star kid, but I'm not really a star kid. But also, I'm not a normal person who's auditioning in Andheri'. So, there was this privilege but not enough of it; there was also normalcy, but not enough of it too. It was very tough to find my place. In many ways, it was a privilege, but in many ways, I was typecast instantly. I did struggle with that, but I'm still trying to find my place,' she says. Ask Palak if she feels she is somewhere living her mum's dream of being on the big screen too with her journey, and she shares, 'My mother got multiple chances to be on the big screen, but she was very content with television. It has given her and us so much. I have a house with a roof, and I have cars in my life due to it. My life is comfortable, my brother has lived a comfortable life, all because of television, so I will always respect and honour television. My mom was very happy there and aisa kabhi nahi tha unhe ki wo chod ke films mein jana hai. She really knows her roots, and she never was greedy in that sense.' So, with a legacy of her mother behind her name, why did she decide to venture into films and not TV? 'It wasn't like I didn't want to do television because it's a smaller medium, not at all. TV has given our industry such brilliant, versatile and phenomenal actors. But I felt that because of my mom's legacy in television, everything that there was to be explored, she had done that. So, there was nothing new for me to discover there,' she responds.

Shweta Tiwari's weight loss story: Simple daily changes that helped her lose 10kgs in her 40s
Shweta Tiwari, one of the most popular faces of the telly world, graced Bigg Boss 4, capturing immense fame and winning over the trophy. Her strong and authentic personality is what fans enjoyed the most in the show. Till date she remains to be one of the most popular Bigg Boss winners of all time. Shweta Tiwari, a well-known face of Indian television, has always been admired for her charm and screen presence. But what truly caught everyone's attention was her stunning transformation post her second pregnancy. She dropped over 10 kilos in her 40s, a stage in life when weight loss feels like climbing a steep hill, especially for mothers juggling personal and professional lives. Her journey wasn't a quick-fix plan or a celebrity-only regime. It was grounded in simple, mindful changes that any regular person battling post-pregnancy weight could relate to. Here's what we need to know about her journey, separate the buzz from the facts, and see what really worked for her. A real mother's struggle, not a glamorous beginning After giving birth to her second child, Shweta's weight touched 73 kg. And just like many mothers, she found herself caught in the whirlpool of responsibilities—with a demanding career, raising two children, and managing her home life. It wasn't just about looking good on screen; it was about feeling healthy, strong, and present. There's a common misconception that celebrities bounce back effortlessly. But in truth, Shweta was open about the emotional and physical toll. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 21st Century Skills Start with Confident Communication Planet Spark Learn More Undo The journey began not from vanity, but from the need to feel alive and energised again. The real diet: Homemade, honest, and hugely effective Shweta didn't starve or follow a fancy 'detox' plan. Under the guidance of celebrity nutritionist Kinita Kadakia Patel, her diet stayed rooted in Indian kitchen staples. It included dals, brown rice, seasonal fruits, lean meats, oats, and nuts. Nothing too exotic. No juice cleanses. No meal skipping. The truth behind her food plan? Simplicity. Meals were planned to match her lifestyle and schedule. She avoided sugar, processed snacks, and late-night indulgences. Her nutritionist made sure the meals were not just healthy, but enjoyable enough to stick with for months. Shweta even credited her team for constantly following up, making sure every small habit change was sustainable, not just a short-term fix. Exercise: Not extreme, just smartly consistent Scroll through her social media, and it's clear—Shweta didn't transform overnight with intense, back-breaking workouts. Her fitness schedule included mixed strength training, cardio, and yoga. The strength training helped her build muscle and burn fat more effectively. Cardio, like jogging and brisk walks, kept her energy levels high. And yoga gave her the flexibility and calm she needed, especially while preparing for shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi 11. Her trainer didn't just throw in new routines every week. They tailored every session to her goals, injuries, and lifestyle. That's what made the transformation consistent—and more importantly, safe. Shweta Tiwari and Palak Tiwari Mental fitness: The most underestimated part of her journey One part of her story often left unspoken in such transformations is how mentally challenging the process is. Shweta didn't just train her body—she trained her mind. She practised mindfulness and meditation, which helped her stay grounded and calm. She didn't wake up every day full of motivation. There were hard days, slow days, and days of self-doubt. But small wins—like fitting into old jeans or feeling stronger during a workout—kept her going. Weight loss wasn't just about dropping kilos. It was about finding mental clarity in a life full of noise. Family, support, and showing up for herself Shweta's journey was also shaped by her environment. With her daughter Palak Tiwari cheering her on and her son Reyansh lighting up her daily routines, she had little choice but to show up strong, not just for her fans, but for her children. She often shared how her family became her anchor. And in many ways, her transformation became a celebration of single motherhood—proof that one can rediscover oneself without letting go of everything else. 5 Exercises for quick weight loss There's something universal about Shweta Tiwari's journey. It wasn't about achieving a perfect figure or chasing youth. It was about reclaiming health after childbirth, rising above the fatigue of everyday life, and pushing through the mental fog. Her story isn't just inspiration. It's a reminder that weight loss isn't always about willpower—it's about structure, support, and showing up every day, even when no one's watching.

When Shweta Tiwari Lost Rs 93 Lakh Malad Flat To Raja Chaudhary As Per Divorce Settlement
New Delhi: Popular television actress Shweta Tiwari has always opened up about her emotionally draining divorce from first husband Raja Chaudhary. The divorce was also financially challenging for the actress, according to an old report by Hindustan Times. As part of the settlement, she agreed to hand over a one-bedroom flat in Malad, priced at Rs 93 lakh, which she and Raja jointly owned, the report claimed. Her legal team had initially proposed shared ownership between Raja and their daughter Palak, but he demanded sole ownership instead. His claim of the property deeply unsettled Shweta, as he prioritised property over daughter. Last year, in an interview with Galatta India, Shweta Tiwari said why she took nine years to come out of her troubled marriage. When asked about what stopped her (initially) to come out of the troubled relationship, Shweta said, "In my entire family, nobody had ever done a love marriage, I had. There was also caste problems that existed in our family, yet I had an inter-caste marriage. "People had already started to taunt my mother and judging my marriage. On top of that, if I filed for a divorce, it would have been a whole different thing. At that point in time, it wasn't that I was not financially independent, but it was more of an emotional thing." Shweta continued, "I was worried for my daughter not having a father while growing up. It was later that I realised that you can have a happy family only when you are mentally happy. "It's not a good upbringing for your child to be in a dysfunctional family. If two people can't co-exist, it is better to part ways." Raja Chaudhary and Shweta Tiwari got married in 1998. Shweta filed for divorce in 2007 on the ground of domestic violence and Raja's drinking problem. They share a daughter Palak Tiwari, who made her debut with Salman Khan's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.
