Palak Tiwari Calls Mom Shweta ‘Frugal': ‘Was Tired Of Jholi, Got Her First Designer Bag'

Last Updated:
Palak Tiwari hopes for mom Shweta Tiwari to 'reward' herself more often and carry bags that represent the name and brand that she has created for herself.
Shweta Tiwari raised her children – Palak Tiwari and Reyansh Kohli – as a single mother after going through two troubled marriages. After becoming a household name with Kasautii Zindagii Kay in the early 2000s, she emerged as one of the highest paid female actors of Indian television. And yet, when it comes to money, she doesn't share the greatest relationship with it. A while back, while speaking to us, she had said that she only knows how to save money and that it's her daughter who's a spendthrift.
Now, in an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Palak refers to her mother as 'frugal' and says that she doesn't know how to reward herself. 'My mom has worked too hard and too much in life. And that's why she's so simple and frugal all the time. It's not about being materialistic so much so as it's about rewarding yourself," she tells us. And that's why Palak doesn't think twice before pampering her by buying her expensive, branded items.
'She's a girl at the end of the day. She's still a girl at heart and every girl loves her bags. If you know that you can afford it and you deserve it, you should go for it. How much will she run behind me, nani and Reyansh? She doesn't give herself any luxury in life, which is why I ask her to prioritise herself once in a while. I tell her to stop buying my brother a new pair of shorts every two days. She can buy herself a nice bag with that money. She deserves it," says Palak.
In fact, the first ever branded bag that Shweta ever carried was a gift to her from Palak. 'With the kind of name that she has earned for herself, she should carry a bag that represents that. Why shouldn't she? But she doesn't listen to me. Eventually, I get fed up and buy her stuff. The first designer bag that she owned was bought by me for her because I got tired of that one jholi she kept carrying. I couldn't see her carrying that jholi anymore," shares Palak.
Offering us a glimpse into Shweta's habits and lifestyle, the Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and The Bhootnii actor says, 'But I understand. She's obviously a mother and for her, my money and her money is ghar ka paisa and she doesn't want that paisa to go to Louis Vuitton (laughs). But I love spoiling her."
On the work front, Palak is gearing up for the release of her film, Romeo S3, which happens to be the first film that she signed and shot for. Speaking about how Shweta accompanied her to the set momentarily, she remarks, 'She did come to the set on the first day of shoot. She said to my director, 'Sambhal lena meri lallu ko. Meri gadhi abhi tumhaari hui. Please dekh lena usse.' I think any mother would behave that way. But a few moments later, she left because she couldn't watch the shoot anymore (laughs)."

Wrestler, U23 Asian Wrestling Championships gold medallist Priya Malik: Yeh shuruat hai, mera sapna bahut bada hai

All of 20, Priya Malik is well on her way to becoming the next big thing in Indian wrestling. On Friday, the Haryana native clinched the gold medal at the U23 Asian Wrestling Championships in Vung Tau, Vietnam. Priya Malik won all three bouts by technical precision on her way to a gold in the women's 76kg category. Competing in the women's 76kg category, Priya won all three bouts with technical precision, leaving no room for doubt that she's one to watch. Following her win, the wrestler is ecstatic, but she knows the work isn't quite done yet. 'I am extremely happy right now, but this win will not stay with me for too long,' she says and elaborates, 'Yeh bas shuruat hai. Mera sapna hai ki pehle Asian Games mein aur fir 2028 mein Olympics mein India ke liye gold lana hai.' Ask if there was any nervousness when she stepped up to the mat for the final match and Priya dismisses the thought. 'Bahut confidence milta hai jab aap mat pe hote hain aur aapko pata hai ki koi aapke against uss time pe point score nahin kar sakta,' she replies, noting that this comes from a conviction in her own strong mindset. The rising star from a village in Jind also credits one man for pushing her forward — her dadda (grandfather) Prithvi Singh. Talking about her first coach and biggest cheerleader, Priya reminisces, 'Dadda mere pehle inspiration the. Agar bachpan mein woh na hote, toh main wrestler nahin hoti. He got me interested in the sport and never left my side till his passing in 2020. I miss him on days like these but I know he is watching from above and smiling.' While she's had a strong support system in her family, the wrestler acknowledges that several other girls with the same dreams and aspirations as her aren't as fortunate. 'Main khush kismat hoon, lekin bahut si ladkiyan apna sapna nahin jee pati,' she muses. 'I would like to tell those girls, agar tumne apne liye sapna dekh liya hai, toh kaun kya bol raha hai kabhi mat suno. Jis din tum apne mukaam ko haasil kar logi, uss din wahi sab tumhare peeche khade honge,' she signs off. For more, follow HT City Delhi Junction

She said that work in her home is currently under progress, and her renovated house should come around in the next one year.
