Bigg Boss 20: Manoj Tiwari's Daughter Criticized for Abusive Language on Show

0:00 / 0:00

Listen to the story

A fresh controversy has erupted on the reality show Bigg Boss 20 after contestant Rhiti Tiwari, daughter of actor-politician Manoj Tiwari, used abusive language against fellow contestant Qazi during a live segment.

The incident, captured on camera and widely circulated online, has sparked strong reactions from viewers as well as figures close to the show. A close friend of Salman Khan, who hosts Bigg Boss, expressed his disapproval after watching the clip, noting that he was surprised such behaviour came from someone belonging to a well-known family.

The comment has added another layer to the ongoing discussion about conduct inside the Bigg Boss house, a show already known for its dramatic confrontations between contestants.

Following the incident, several viewers stated that their respect for another housemate, Dolly Bindra, has grown, apparently in contrast to Rhiti's conduct on the show.

In a separate moment aired on the programme, Rhiti Tiwari opened up about her personal financial situation outside the Bigg Boss house. She described eating an inexpensive vada pav, priced at around ten rupees, while spending significantly more, roughly five hundred rupees, on fuel for her vehicle.

This candid admission drew a mixed response from the show's audience. While some viewers expressed sympathy for the financial pressures she described, others remained focused on the earlier controversy surrounding her language toward Qazi.

Bigg Boss, now in its 20th season, has consistently generated headlines due to conflicts and heated exchanges among its contestants living together under constant surveillance. This latest episode adds to a string of moments that have kept the show trending on social media platforms.

As of now, there has been no official statement from Manoj Tiwari or from the makers of Bigg Boss regarding the abusive language incident involving his daughter. It also remains unclear whether the show's producers will take any formal action in response to the backlash.

The episode underscores the intense scrutiny contestants face on reality television, where personal remarks and conduct are quickly amplified across social media, often resulting in swift public judgement.
