Bigg Boss 20 contestant Rhiti Tiwari has opened up about her experience inside the reality-show house following her recent eviction. In an exclusive conversation with IANS, Rhiti revealed how her father, actor-politician Manoj Tiwari, reacted after watching her journey and said he was proud of the transformation he saw in her.
Rhiti also reflected on the mistakes she made during her time on the show, saying the experience helped her identify areas of her personality that she wants to work on.
Manoj Tiwari tells daughter Rhiti he is proud of her
After her eviction, Rhiti said she spoke to her father about her Bigg Boss 20 journey. According to her, Manoj Tiwari’s reaction was supportive and focused on the personal growth he noticed in her.
“I talked to him, and his reaction was just like any father’s reaction. He said, ‘I am proud of you. You brought out such a transformation in yourself, which was probably inside you for a long time,’” Rhiti recalled.
She said her father also felt that she had entered the Bigg Boss house determined to experience everything the show had to offer.
“He also felt that I had gone there and done whatever I wanted in that house,” she said.
For Rhiti, however, the experience was not simply about what happened during the tasks or interactions with other contestants. It also gave her an opportunity to examine her own behaviour.
Rhiti Tiwari says Bigg Boss helped her identify her shortcomings
Rhiti acknowledged that everyone has areas in their personality that can be improved, and said her time in the reality show helped her recognise some of her own.
“I think every person has certain things they want to change or areas where they can do better. Going there, I realised what I can do better and what I don’t want inside me,” she said.
The actor said she now intends to work on those shortcomings rather than simply treating her eviction as the end of her Bigg Boss experience.
“I went there with certain shortcomings, and I will change. I will improve,” Rhiti said.
She added that she believes she will be able to demonstrate that growth going forward.
Rhiti recalls her mother’s advice
Rhiti also spoke about the advice she has received from her mother over the years.
“My mom has always told me, ‘Don’t let your emotions control your mind,’” she said.
The advice has taken on particular significance after her experience on Bigg Boss, where contestants are placed in an environment involving constant interaction, competition and emotional pressure.
Rhiti said she recognises that she entered the house with certain shortcomings and now wants to address them.
Her comments suggest that she views the experience as an opportunity for personal reflection rather than focusing only on the controversies surrounding her stint.
Rhiti Tiwari’s controversial Bigg Boss 20 stint
Rhiti’s journey was not without controversy. During her time on the show, she became involved in a confrontation following a diss task.
Her comments and choice of language towards fellow contestants Qazi and Uditi Singh became a point of contention inside the house. The incident escalated when Qazi objected to the way Uditi was addressed and confronted Rhiti over her behaviour.
The matter was subsequently addressed on the show, with host Salman Khan reprimanding Rhiti and discussing the boundaries that contestants are expected to maintain during competitive tasks.
Rhiti was also reminded of her father Manoj Tiwari’s earlier participation in Bigg Boss and the manner in which he conducted himself during his stint on the show.
Rather than denying that the incident was a mistake, Rhiti’s comments after her eviction suggest that she has taken some of the criticism on board.
Rhiti wants to improve after Bigg Boss 20
Reality television can place contestants in situations that test their emotional responses, and Rhiti now says she has a clearer understanding of the areas she wants to improve.
Her father’s reaction has also given her encouragement. According to Rhiti, Manoj Tiwari saw a transformation in her that had perhaps been present beneath the surface for some time.
At the same time, her mother’s advice about keeping emotions from controlling the mind has become part of the way she is reflecting on the experience.
With her Bigg Boss 20 journey now over, Rhiti says she wants the next phase to demonstrate the lessons she has taken from the show.
“I will change. I will improve,” she said, making it clear that she sees the reality show as a chapter that can continue to influence her beyond the Bigg Boss house.
