A day after reports emerged of Kasautii Zindagii Kay actor Shweta Tiwari filing a case against husband Abhinav Kohli for domestic violence, daughter Palak Tiwari has come out in support of Shweta.
She took to Instagram to provide a better picture of the entire case and said that she has been a victim of domestic abuse and not her mother. She wrote, “Firstly, i would like to thank everyone who’s reached out to express their concern and support.
Secondly, i would like to address and clarify a few things out of my own rectitude:
The media does not have the facts and they never will. I, Palak Tiwari, was on multiple occasions a victim of domestic abuse NOT my mother, except for the day that the complaint was filed he hadn’t hit my mother.”
It’s beyond disgusting and its time that i stand up for my mother for she is the strongest person i know and since out of all of us I’m the only person who’s witnessed her struggle day in and day out, my opinion is the only one that matters.Palak Tiwari
There were also reports of Abhinav Kohli molesting Palak, and she has also cleared the air on the same.
Abhinav Kohli has never physically molested me, or touched me inappropriately. Before spreading something of this caliber or even believing it, its imperative you as readers know the veracity of the facts that you’re blindly divulging endlessly.Palak Tiwari
She continued, “He did persistently make inappropriate and disturbing remarks the impact of which is only known to my mother and I, and if any woman from any walk of life were to hear them she would be greatly embarrassed and provoked too. Words which would question the standing dignity of any woman, which you wouldn’t expect to hear from any man, especially not your “father”.”
On 12 August, Shweta Tiwari was reportedly seen at the local police station with her mother. She was in tears. Her daughter Palak was also with her. While registering the complaint, Shweta informed the police that Abhinav is often under the influence of alcohol.
