Rhiti Tiwari, a contestant on Bigg Boss 20 and the daughter of BJP leader Manoj Tiwari, says she has received death and rape threats. In interviews, she describes the harassment as a serious consequence of how her comments are interpreted publicly while she appears on the show.
Both outlets report that Tiwari links the targeting to her family name. She says people treat her views as reflecting her father’s opinions, so her statements are scrutinized through that association. She adds that this dynamic makes her a more frequent target, according to her account. NDTV and Times of India broadly align on her claims about threats and the role of her surname in shaping public reaction, though they emphasize different phrasings about how others attribute her views.
The reports focus on Tiwari’s personal statements about threats and public perception rather than providing independent details about who makes the threats or any official action taken. The core points across sources are her claims of extreme threats and her explanation that her father’s prominence leads to intensified scrutiny.
