In a prolonged Instagram post, Shweta Tiwari's daughter Palak Tiwari broke silence on being a victim of abuse by her step-father Abhinav Kohli.
Shweta Tiwari's husband Abhinav Kohli was arrested after she complained against him on domestic violence. It was reported that he hit Shweta's daughter Palak Tiwari in a fit of rage and has been making obscene comments and showing vulgar photos on his mobile phone to her since October 2017. Abhinav was arrested under Sections 509, 354 (a), 323, 504, 506 of the IPC and 67-A of the IT Act on Sunday, and produced before the court yesterday.
Abhinav's mother denied all the allegations and told The Times of India, "Abhinav took care of Palak since she was a kid and Raja Chaudhary had left her. Even while she was in the Bigg Boss house and her mom had to travel to her native place, Abhinav was there to take care of Palak. From her school admission, attending parents meeting in school, to tying her school laces, he has done everything. They have conveniently forgotten everything and putting such false and dirty allegations against him just because they want to get rid of him. She wanted to divorce him. I don't want to talk about it further."
Now, Palak took to her Instagram page and wrote a prolonged post addressing the controversy. She started off by writing, "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:"

1. I was on multiple occasions a victim of domestic abuse NOT my mother
)
Palak wrote on Instagram, "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. As a reader of the news, it's often easy to forget that you do not know the truth of what goes on behind closed doors or how much fortitude my mother has shown in both her marriages. This is someone’s household you’re writing about, someone’s life you’re discussing. Many of you, fortunately, haven’t even dealt with something of such heinous proportions, and hence you have no right to comment, discuss or paint someone else’s image through your biased, misinformed views.
2. I’m the only person who’s witnessed my mom's struggle day in and day out
)
Shweta Tiwari's daughter went on to talk about her mom saying, "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."
3. On Abhinav Kohli
)
Palak further wrote, "Abhinav Kohli has never physically molested me, or touched me inappropriately. Before spreading something of this calibre or even believing it, it's imperative you as readers know the veracity of the facts that you’re blindly divulging endlessly. However, he did persistently make inappropriate and disturbing remarks the impact of which is only known to my mother and me, 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”."
4. My mother is the MOST self sufficient
)
The young girl concluded by writing, "Seeing our lives through social media, reading about us in the papers can only tell you so much about our struggles, but never enough to comment on them. Today as a proud daughter, I’m here to tell you that my mother is the most respectable individual that I’ve ever come across, the MOST self-sufficient, one who’s never required or even had a man provide for her and has always taken the social standing of a “man” in both the families that we’ve been a part of."
