Manoj Tiwari’s daughter Rhiti Tiwari has been evicted from Bigg Boss 20 following a mid-week twist that put the contestants in control of another housemate’s fate.
The aspiring singer’s journey came to an end after a captaincy-related task required the contenders to collectively choose one contestant whose remaining lifeline would be compromised. Rhiti was selected, leaving her without the protection she needed to continue in the house.
Rhiti Tiwari Eliminated After Contestants Choose Her
The captaincy task contenders this week included Mahhi Vij, Uditi Singh, Yung DSA and Kushal Tanwar, also known as Gullu.
As part of the task, Bigg Boss asked the contenders to reach a consensus and choose one housemate whose lifeline would be taken away. After discussing their options, they selected Rhiti.
The decision proved decisive because Rhiti had already lost her first lifeline during the previous week. With her final lifeline also gone, she was required to leave the Bigg Boss 20 house in the middle of the week.
The eviction came at a point when Rhiti had been attempting to rebuild her position in the game. She had faced criticism during the previous week following confrontations with other contestants and had subsequently apologised.
Rhiti Tiwari’s Bigg Boss Journey
Rhiti entered Bigg Boss 20 with an ambition to establish herself as a singer and performer. During her introduction, she spoke about wanting to become a “rockstar” with a global audience.
Her time on the show also saw her discuss her childhood and her parents’ separation. Rhiti revealed that she was eight years old when her parents separated and nine when their divorce was finalised.
“I didn’t get to spend much time with my father. I was 8 when he left the house; I was 9 when the divorce was finalised. Mom got my custody. Dad did fight for my custody; he was hopeful that they would get back together. We would cry whenever we met,” she recalled.
In another conversation on the show, Rhiti spoke about reconnecting with her father as she grew older.
“I would meet him once a year. Then, when I turned 18 or 19 years old, I decided that I wanted to spend time with my father and get to know him as a person. But by then, it was too late,” she said.
Rhiti also discussed the complicated relationship between her identity as Manoj Tiwari’s daughter and her own career ambitions. According to her account, her father had told her that he would not directly help her establish herself professionally.
“He very clearly told me that he would not help me in my career. He didn’t mean it in a bad way. He said, ‘If you are talented, then you will do it yourself, but I won’t help you,’” she recalled.
Salman Khan Criticises Rhiti During Weekend Episode
Rhiti’s eviction follows a week in which she came under scrutiny from Bigg Boss 20 host Salman Khan.
During a previous task, Rhiti had a confrontation with Uditi Singh and also threatened Qazi Touqeer. Addressing the situation, Salman questioned Rhiti’s self-description as a singer, composer, songwriter and music producer.
“Rhiti, the problem is that only you are calling yourself a rockstar; no one else is,” Salman said during the episode.
He also criticised what he described as her language and behaviour inside the house, while pointing out that her actions could affect how viewers perceive her father.
Salman further addressed Rhiti’s confrontation with Qazi and compared aspects of her behaviour to the kind of confrontational television associated with former Bigg Boss contestant Dolly Bindra.
“You reacted and became the Dolly Bindra of the house,” Salman told her.
Salman Addresses Rhiti’s Allegations About Feeling Unsafe
Salman also discussed Rhiti’s earlier claims concerning Qazi. He said that the show’s team had reviewed footage of the incident and disputed Rhiti’s interpretation of what happened.
“You all are my responsibility, and you accused him of coming on to you and said that you didn’t feel safe. But we saw the clips in slow motion, and he was never around you. We have watched everything,” Salman said.
He also referred to a diss track in which he said similar allegations were repeated and questioned Rhiti about whether she continued to stand by those claims.
These remarks formed part of a wider confrontation between the host and contestant before Rhiti’s eventual eviction.
Rhiti Leaves Bigg Boss 20 After a Turbulent Stint
Rhiti’s departure comes just as she appeared to be trying to change the direction of her game following Salman’s criticism.
After being reprimanded, she had apologised and attempted to improve her equation with the other contestants. However, the captaincy task ultimately ended her run before she had the opportunity to establish a new position in the house.
Her Bigg Boss 20 stint therefore ended with a mix of personal revelations, clashes with fellow contestants and an ongoing effort to establish herself independently of her father’s public identity.
