Shweta Tiwari admits being a tough critic of her daughter Palak Tiwari; says, “She takes her own decisions but my opinion also matters a lot to her”

Palak Tiwari made her acting debut with Salman Khan's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan after gaining attention with her appearance in the music video ‘Bijlee Bijlee’. While she may have landed the film on her own, her mother, television personality Shweta Tiwari, remains her trusted advisor in her career. “When Palak gets a script before an audition, she comes to me asking for tips on how to go about saying the lines. She performs scenes with me and understands from me,” Shweta told News18 Showsha exclusively.Shweta admitted to being a tough critic of her daughter’s work and said, “Palak’s very hardworking. She takes her own decisions, but my opinion also matters a lot to her. Sometimes, she makes five-six tapes and asks me to choose one so that she can send it ahead and I help her out. She knows that if she shows me something, main usme galti nikaalungi. And the day I don’t point anything out, she gets very happy.”She recalled the occasion when Palak was filming for Sanjay Dutt’s The Virgin Tree and stated, “She always requests her directors and casting directors to let her show me her shots so that I can point out her shortcomings. In fact, she was recently shooting for a film called The Virgin Tree. She shot a scene, and everyone clapped for her. But she told the director, ‘Please sir, ek baar record karke mummy ko bhej doon main?’”At home, however, the mother-daughter dynamic is much different. Shweta described how Palak pampers her and expressed, “She gifts me a lot of branded goods on my birthday and Mother's Day. She really pampers me! Every time she sees me carrying a standard bag, she says, 'Oh my god, what bag is this?' The next day, she delivers me a branded tote bag.”Palak spilled the beans on her spending habits. She said, “Thanks to my daughter, I don’t remember a single day when we don’t have parcels coming into our house. I’ve given her my credit cards with hotel and airline benefits. I told her that tumko itna kharcha karna hai aur woh bahot easily kharcha kar deti hai (laughs). But I was never a spendthrift.”“Back when I was shooting round the clock, I didn’t get the chance to spend my earnings. Tab mere pati the kharcha karne ke liye (laughs). But my daughter loves splurging on luxuries. She loves owning branded bags and clothes. She doesn’t like shopping from showrooms at malls. She shops from London,” said Shweta.She continued, “I’ve only put my money into properties, fixed deposits and other investments. My mother didn’t know anything about branded bags or parlours because she never went into one. She used to advise me to put my money into houses and buying gold. That was her thought process that got passed on to me. I’ve only made investments all my life.”Also Read : Shweta Tiwari opens up about daughter Palak Tiwari and Ibrahim Ali Khan dating; says, “It doesn’t even bother her”
