Bigg Boss 20 contestant Rhiti Tiwari has spoken about the difficulties of living in the public spotlight as the daughter of actor-politician Manoj Tiwari. During a conversation on the reality show, Rhiti said her family name often becomes part of how people judge her opinions and actions. She also claimed that she has faced serious online abuse, including death and rape threats, because of her connection to her father.
Rhiti Describes the Pressure Around Her Identity
Speaking with Olympic boxer Mary Kom on the show, Rhiti explained that she has experienced what she described as “double pressure” throughout her life. According to her, statements she makes are frequently interpreted through the lens of her father’s public identity rather than being treated as her own views.
She said that whenever she expresses an opinion, people tend to frame it as a statement made by “Manoj Tiwari’s daughter”. Rhiti suggested that this association makes it difficult for her to establish a separate identity in the public eye.
Her comments highlighted the challenges that can come with having a parent who is already a familiar public figure. While Manoj Tiwari has established careers in entertainment and politics, Rhiti said the association can affect how her own words are received.
She Claims to Have Received Death and Rape Threats
Rhiti also discussed the more serious side of the online reactions she has encountered. She claimed that she has received both death threats and rape threats, which she attributed to her status as Manoj Tiwari’s daughter.
Explaining her experience, she said people sometimes assume that her opinions represent those of her father. According to Rhiti, that perception can lead to her being targeted by people who associate her directly with his views.
Her remarks on Bigg Boss 20 were presented as a personal account of the pressure she says she has faced. She did not suggest that every response to her public presence has been threatening, but described the abuse as part of the burden she has experienced because of her family background.
The discussion also touched on the broader difficulty of separating an individual’s identity from that of a well-known parent. For Rhiti, establishing that distinction appears to be an important part of navigating life in the public eye.
