Rhiti Gets Death, Rape Threats Because Of Being Manoj Tiwari’s Daughter

MUMBAI- Singer Rhiti Tiwari, daughter of Bhojpuri superstar and politician Manoj Tiwari, has opened up about the pressure of carrying her father’s surname, revealing that she has faced death and rape threats because people often assume her opinions represent those of her father.

In an episode of ‘Bigg Boss 20’, Rhiti spoke about the scrutiny she faces as the daughter of a prominent public figure. She said she has “always been under double pressure” because whatever she says is quickly linked to her father.

Rhiti’s comments come as she follows in her father’s footsteps by entering the ‘Bigg Boss’ house. Manoj Tiwari, a Bhojpuri actor, singer and politician, was a contestant on ‘Bigg Boss 4’ in 2010,

“I remember watching every episode as a kid. I would literally wait to see him on screen. I would miss him every day, but at the same time, there was something exciting about seeing my father live in this completely different world,” Rhiti had said.

She has described her own entry into the show as surreal, with the roles now reversed as she is inside the ‘Bigg Boss’ house while her father watches her from outside.

Manoj Tiwari entered the entertainment industry as a singer before establishing himself as a leading name in Bhojpuri cinema. He later expanded his career into television and politics and is currently a Member of Parliament. (IANS)
