Shweta Tiwari Opens Up about How Palak's Link-Up Rumours and Trolls Impact Her as a Mother

Shweta Tiwari Opens Up About Daughter Palak Tiwari Facing Trolling Over Dating Rumours

Television actor Shweta Tiwari recently addressed rumors surrounding her daughter Palak Tiwari's personal life and how trolling on social media impacts her as a mother. Palak, who has been linked to Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim Ali Khan following their frequent appearances together, has often been the target of speculation. In a candid interview with SCREEN, Shweta discussed her perspective on the issue and the challenges posed by online negativity.

On Rumours About Palak’s Dating Life

Responding to questions about the ongoing dating rumors involving Palak, Shweta said, “Rumours don’t bother me anymore, in all these years I have realized people’s memory only last for 4 hours. They will forget the news after that, so why bother? As per rumours, my daughter is dating every third guy, and I am getting married every year. As per the internet, I am already married thrice. These things don’t affect me now, earlier they did when social media was not there and when some journalist never liked writing good things about you. Negativity about actors sell. After dealing with that era, this doesn’t affect me.”

On Palak Being Trolled Online

Shweta admitted that while she has grown immune to rumors, trolling remains a concern. Reflecting on the growing hostility on social media, she said, “It does scare me at times. No matter how Palak looks, she is very innocent, she can never give it back to people. This era of trolling has gotten so ugly, even though she is strong, I wonder what if it affects her, if she gets underconfident, then what? That scares me. People have tried to pull her down, but she doesn’t read comments. But you never know what can be hurtful. When she gets trolled, it affects me a lot.”

Shweta further highlighted the shift in audience behavior, explaining how public perception has evolved over the years. She noted that her daughter Palak has taught her strategies to handle trolls effectively.

Palak’s Bollywood Journey

Shweta Tiwari, best known for her roles in iconic television series such as Kasautii Zindagii Kay and Parvarrish, has successfully built a legacy in the entertainment industry. Her daughter Palak ventured into Bollywood with her debut in Salman Khan’s film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Despite a star-studded cast, the film, also featuring Shehnaaz Gill, Raghav Juyal, Pooja Hegde, and Siddharth Nigam, failed to make a mark at the box office.

Palak will next appear in the horror-comedy The Virgin Tree, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Mouni Roy, and Sunny Singh. The film, helmed by a promising cast, is slated for release in 2025.

Through her remarks, Shweta Tiwari shed light on the challenges of navigating fame in the age of social media, balancing personal and professional dynamics, and supporting her daughter through the highs and lows of public scrutiny.
