Palak Tiwari may be a known name today, but growing up under actress and single mom Shweta Tiwari meant earning her extra allowance, quite literally.
In a recent conversation on the Bharti TV YouTube channel, Shweta revealed the unconventional yet grounded way she brought up Palak. Despite the glamour that surrounded them, she maintained a tight grip on finances, screen time, and even curfews.
Every month, Palak was given a set budget of Rs 25,000, but if she overspent, she had to compensate with household chores. “If she spent Rs 30,000, she had to earn the extra Rs 5,000,” said Shweta. That included:
Rs 1,000 for cleaning the bathroom
Rs 1,000 for washing utensils
Rs 500 for making the bed
Palak adapted well to this system. “When she saw she was about to overshoot her budget, she would step up and do chores,” Shweta recalled.
Shweta admits she wasn’t a “strict mom” in the traditional sense but maintained non-negotiable boundaries:
Parties were fine, but she had to be back home by 1 AM
No makeup till the age of 16
No personal phone until after school was over
Also, Palak’s phone location was always tracked for safety, “till she turned 16,” Shweta added.
Interestingly, Shweta has taken a hands-on role in Palak’s finances even today. Most of Palak’s earnings were invested, with only a minimal balance kept in her account. “She used to say, ‘You’ve made me broke,’” laughed Shweta, adding that she always reminded Palak, “No one your age has savings like you do.”
All of Palak’s bank paperwork was signed by her to make her financially aware of where her money was and how much she had.
At its core, this isn’t just a story about a famous mom and daughter; it’s a rare glimpse into how grounded parenting can look even under Bollywood lights.
