Rhiti Tiwari got candid about keeping relationships on the back burner. She even shared how experiences from her personal life have shaped the way she looks at love and independence. Rhiti also discussed how her parents’ separation shaped her approach to her relationships. “I have seen my mother struggle as a single parent, and maybe that has stayed with me. I have met very controlling men, and I don’t want to reach a point where someone has that much power over my life. I want to work, earn for myself, and build my own identity. But I have loved someone. My best friend and I have known each other for 20 years, and I was in love with him. Unfortunately, it ended in heartbreak recently.”

On the show, Rhiti has also opened up about her dreams and said, “I was 2-3 years old; since then, I decided that I wanted to be a singer. I want to be so successful in life and make so much money that I can help others. Only if we dream big is when we can acheive them. My dream is to be a successful and love Rockstar in India, and then to become a global rockstar.” In another episode, Rhiti had also spoken about the pressure of being Manoj Tiwari’s daughter. She had said, “My father is very famous, so everyone saw me as Manoj Tiwari’s daughter, but I have my individuality too.”
