Rhiti Tiwari, a contestant on Bigg Boss 20, breaks down while discussing her parents’ separation, divorce, and custody dispute. In conversations during the show, she says her parents “technically” separated when she was eight, and their divorce was legally finalised when she was nine. She recounts that she did not get to spend much time with her father, Manoj Tiwari, and describes how emotional their meetings often were.

Rhiti adds that her father fought for her custody during the separation. She also recalls both parents’ emotional strain, saying they would often end up crying during visits and that “they couldn’t do anything” about it. When asked about her father’s custody efforts, she confirms he did fight for it. She further explains her feelings as she tells the audience she misses time with her father, while also saying she loves both parents.

On her father’s later life, Rhiti says she was genuinely happy when Surbhi Tiwari entered Manoj Tiwari’s life and portrays her acceptance of the change in her family situation.
