Shweta Tiwari Reveals Palak Tiwari Did Chores For Pocket Money: 'Rs 1000 To Clean The Bathroom'
Shweta Tiwari reveals Palak Tiwari had to earn extra money by doing chores. She wasn't allowed makeup till 16 or a phone until school was over. Actress Shweta Tiwari, who became a household name with her iconic role in Kasautii Zindagii Kay, recently opened up about her parenting journey as a single mother to daughter Palak Tiwari. In a candid conversation on Bharti TV's YouTube channel, Shweta revealed how she instilled values of discipline, financial responsibility, and safety in Palak from a young age. 'I wasn't strict, but there were rules in our house," Shweta clarified, sharing that Palak had a firm curfew while growing up. 'If you've said you'll be back by 1 am, then 1 means walking in the door — not leaving the party at 1," she said. To ensure her daughter's safety, Shweta always kept the contact details of Palak's friends — and even their mothers. 'I'd tell her I won't call their moms unless your phone is off. But if I can't reach anyone, I'll start calling their mothers because they would have the driver's number." Explaining her vigilant approach, Shweta said, 'I was a little scared because she's a girl and society is weird." Although Palak doesn't consume alcohol, Shweta pointed out that the people around her might — and she wanted to make sure her daughter was always safe. As a precaution, she also tracked Palak's phone and didn't allow her to wear makeup until she turned 16. Additionally, Palak wasn't allowed to own a phone until after she finished school. Beyond discipline, Shweta emphasized the importance of teaching financial responsibility. 'She was given a budget — say, ₹25,000. If she spent ₹30,000, she'd have to compensate by doing household chores," she explained. Shweta had a detailed price list: 'Cleaning her bathroom earned ₹1000, cleaning the bed ₹500, and washing dishes ₹1000." Palak, aware of the system, would even do extra chores in advance if she knew she was going over budget. Shweta also shared how she handles Palak's earnings now that the young star has a flourishing career. 'I invest most of her money and only allow a certain amount to stay in her account. She jokes, 'Mujhe kangaal kar diya, mere paise nikal liye (You've made me poor, taken all my money).' But I tell her, the savings she has now, no one else does." Shweta ensures Palak signs all the banking paperwork, keeping her involved and aware of how her finances are managed. From setting curfews to assigning chores for extra spending, Shweta Tiwari's parenting style is rooted in love, protection, and practicality. With her daughter Palak now stepping into the limelight with films like The Bhootnii, Shweta's approach seems to have laid a grounded foundation for a rising star.

‘Rs 1000 to clean the bathroom': Shweta Tiwari says Palak Tiwari had to do household chores for pocket money, was given make-up when she was 16
Shweta Tiwari, who first rose to fame in the early 2000s with Kasautii Zindagi Kay, has raised her daughter Palak Tiwari as a single mother. In a recent interview, Shweta said that she was always very careful about implementing rules in the house so Palak is raised with some discipline. She shared that Palak was always given a certain amount for her spending and if she went above that, she was expected to do household chores so she could compensate for the extra money that she was spending. In a chat shared on Bharti TV's YouTube channel, 'I wasn't strict but there were some rules in our house.' Shweta said that Palak always had a strict curfew. 'If you have said that you will be back by 1 am, you should be at the door at 1. You can't say I am leaving at 1. 1 o'clock is to come back home, not leave the party,' she said and added that she would have the contact number of every friend who was accompanying her, and their mothers. 'I would say I won't call their mothers but if your phone is off, I will call the people who are with you. If I can't get through to them, then I will start calling their mothers because they would have the driver's contact details. Palak knew that if my mother was saying so, she would do it,' she said and added that she would track her daughter's phone. 'I was a little scared that she is a girl and the society is weird,' she added and said that even though Palak does not drink alcohol, people around her do. She also declared that she did not allow her daughter to use any make up till she was 16, and did not give her a phone till she was done with schooling.

'She was given a budget. For instance, I allowed her to spend Rs 25,000 and if she went from 25,000 to 30,000, she knew that she would be asked to do household chores to compensate for it. There was a full list of chores. For cleaning her bathroom, she would get Rs 1000, she would get Rs 500 to clean the bed, for dishes, she would get Rs 1000. So she would do all of these things, and when she knew she was going to go over budget, she would do extra chores beforehand,' she recalled. Shweta shared that she has been investing Palak's money ever since she started earning and till date, she only allows a certain amount of money in her account, as she invests the rest of the money. 'I don't let it stay in her account. And she keeps saying 'Mujhe kangaal kar dia, mere paise nikal liye (You have made me poor, taken my money)'. I keep telling her that the savings you have now, no one else has that. I ask her to sign the cheques, all the banking papers so I can save and invest her money,' she said. Palak was last seen in The Bhootnii.
