Palak Tiwari, daughter of TV star Shweta Tiwari, used to clean washrooms, washed dishes for Rs 1000 due to...
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. Pocket money came with strings attached? 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. What were the house rules like? 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. What about her money now? 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.

"Not something my character future entails": Pedro Pascal on Reed Richards reportedly leading Avengers in 'Doomsday'
The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards, is not the new leader of the Avengers, according to actor Pedro Pascal, who played one of the lead roles in the recently released ' First Steps'. The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards, is not the new leader of the Avengers, according to actor Pedro Pascal , who played one of the lead roles in the recently released 'Fantastic Four: First Steps'. According to an interview given by the 'Fantastic Four' director Matt Shakman to Variety earlier this month, which went viral for seemingly revealing that Pascal's superhero would be going on to lead the Avengers. It wasn't a far-fetched possibility for fans, as Pascal and his 'Fantastic Four' co-stars Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are all returning for next year's 'Avengers: Doomsday.' But Shakman's comment was a bit of a misdirection, according to Pascal. Speaking to the Associated Press, as quoted by Variety, the 'Last of Us' and 'Mandalorian' actor believes that Matt Shakman was referencing a comic book storyline in which Reed Richards was asked to take the leadership position in the Avengers. However, he believes that the director's words were misinterpreted by MCU fans. "It's big news to me, that's for one. I think Matt Shakman was doing an interview, and when he was speaking about Reed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo There is something that happens in the comics where he is sort of drawn in by the Avengers family and asked to be put into a leadership position. That is something that happens in the comics. It isn't necessarily something that my character's future entails," said Pascal as quoted by Variety. Pascal then stressed, "I am being honest in that. I am not even trying to avoid spoilers. It's a little bit of a mislead," as quoted by Variety. Shakman and Pascal have known each other for years and had the same talent manager at the beginning of their careers. Pascal told Variety that "coming together for 'Fantastic Four' felt absolutely fated in the stars." None of the four actors who played the Fantastic Four had traditional auditions for the movie. Instead, they were all cast after a meeting with Shakman. There were no chemistry tests either, although the group had three weeks of rehearsals before filming started, as reported by Variety. "We approached the story dramaturgically as you would a play, before we got on our feet with anything. It was Matt setting up the circumstances to be together as a cast and flesh out a language that bonded each of us together as a family," said Pedro Pascal, as quoted by Variety. 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' is now playing in theatres nationwide.
