In a heartfelt conversation with Amrapali Dubey in Bigg Boss 20, Rhiti Tiwari opened up about her childhood and admitted that she did not get to spend much time with her father, Manoj Tiwari. Rhiti recalled that she was just eight years old when her parents “technically” separated, while their divorce was legally finalised when she was nine. She became emotional while remembering how her father fought for her custody during their separation.
When Amrapali asked Rhiti whether her father had fought for her custody, she said, “Yes.” She added, “I think mere dad ko bahut time tak umeed thi ki they will get back together.”
Recalling the emotional toll the separation took on both of them, Rhiti said that whenever she met her father, they would often end up crying. Breaking down, she said, “Usme hum kuch kar hi nahi sakte the.”
Rhiti also recalled how she would try to spend time with her father during their meetings, even teaching him English. She then spoke about the time when Surbhi Tiwari entered Manoj Tiwari’s life and said she was genuinely happy for them. Rhiti shared, “Jab unke life mein Surbhi aaye to mujhse zyada khush koi nahi tha.”
Explaining her feelings towards both her parents, Rhiti said, “Mujhe meri maa bahut pyaari hai par wo bhi to mere baap hain.”
