Rhiti Tiwari Faces Backlash Over ₹25K Monthly Allowance Claim
Rhiti Tiwari talked about money and family support on Bigg Boss 20.
She said her father gave her ₹20,000 to ₹25,000 each month.
She said this was hard to manage and that she sometimes ate vada pav when she was hungry.
She also said her father did not help build her career because he wanted her to succeed independently.
Rhiti said she had his name and the respect it brought, but not his money or opportunities.
Many people online disagreed with her description of this as a struggle.
They said ₹25,000 would feel like a lot to many families, especially without rent or bills.
Some accused her of trying to gain sympathy from viewers.
Rhiti Tiwari said on Bigg Boss 20 that her father, Manoj Tiwari, gave her ₹20,000–₹25,000 monthly.
She said the allowance was difficult to manage and recalled eating ₹10 vada pav to fill her stomach.
Rhiti said Manoj would not support her career directly because he wanted her to become independent.
She also said she received his name and the respect associated with it, but not his wealth or opportunities.
Social-media users criticized her remarks, arguing that ₹25,000 without household bills does not represent financial struggle.
