Inside the reality show house of Bigg Boss 20, Riti Tiwari, daughter of well-known actor and politician Manoj Tiwari, has been drawing significant attention. During a recent episode, Riti was seen revisiting the deeply emotional chapters of her childhood. In an intimate conversation with fellow housemate Aamrapali Dubey, she opened up about the emotional turmoil surrounding her parents' separation, the legal fight over her custody, and how those events shaped her growing years.
A Childhood Marked by Family Separation at Age Eight
While sitting alongside Aamrapali Dubey, Riti reflected on the pain of her early years. She shared that she was merely 8 years old when her parents decided to part ways, and approximately one year later, their divorce became legally final. Riti expressed profound regret over missing out on spending sufficient time with her father during those critical growing years, noting how difficult the circumstances were for a young child caught in the middle of a major family transition.
The Lengthy Legal Fight for Custody and Tearful Reunions
When Aamrapali asked whether her father had pursued her custody through legal channels, Riti confirmed that Manoj Tiwari fought hard in court to gain her custody. According to Riti, her father held on to hope for a considerable period that the differences between her parents might resolve and that the family could reunite. However, the legal battle concluded with custody being granted to her mother. Riti explained that whenever she and her father met after the separation, the emotional weight overwhelmed them both, often leading to tears. As she recounted these memories inside the house, Riti was unable to hold back her tears once again.
Cherishing Limited Moments and Teaching English to Her Father
Riti explained that given the legal boundaries, neither she nor her father could change the outcome, so she focused on making the most of every brief encounter they had. She recalled spending quality time together and even teaching her father English during those meetings. Aamrapali responded warmly to this revelation, remarking that Riti was responsible for his proficiency, noting that he now speaks English very well.
Embracing Her Father's Remarriage with Surabhi Tiwari
The conversation also touched upon Manoj Tiwari entering a new phase of life. Riti revealed that when Surabhi Tiwari entered her father's life, she felt genuinely thrilled. She explained that she wanted nothing more than to see happiness and peace restored in her father's world. Articulating her feelings toward both sides of her family, Riti stated that while she holds immense love for her mother, her father remains equally irreplaceable to her. Hearing this honest reflection, Aamrapali also became visibly moved.
