Palak Tiwari made her debut in Bollywood industry by starring in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan in 2023. Prior to that, she appeared in a single by Harrdy Sandhu called Bijlee Bijlee in 2021. She returned to the big screens this year with a horror comedy film, The Bhootnii. Palak Tiwari’s mother is also an actress and comes from a solid TV background, which made her a star kid, but somewhere down the line, the actress is still unsure about her path and feels that her journey is more complicated than many assume.

Palak said, “I was somewhere in this middle ground. I was like, ‘oh these people are calling me a star kid, but I'm not really a star kid. But also, I'm not a normal person who's auditioning in Andheri’. So, there was this privilege but not enough of it; there was also normalcy, but not enough of it too. It was very tough to find my place. In many ways, it was a privilege, but in many ways, I was typecast instantly. I did struggle with that, but I'm still trying to find my place.”

Palak Tiwari has always been in the limelight as her mother, Shweta Tiwari, is a known face in the television industry. But the actress said that her entering Bollywood was seen differently. On being asked about her career choice being her mother’s continued dream, she said, “My mother got multiple chances to be on the big screen, but she was very content with television. It has given her and us so much. I have a house with a roof, and I have cars in my life due to it. My life is comfortable, my brother has lived a comfortable life, all because of television, so I will always respect and honour television. My mom was very happy there and aisa kabhi nahi tha unhe ki wo chod ke films mein jana hai. She really knows her roots, and she never was greedy in that sense.”

Bijlee Bijlee star never looked down on TV as a smaller industry. But her reason for choosing Bollywood was something else. She said, “But I felt that because of my mom's legacy in television, everything that there was to be explored, she had done that. So, there was nothing new for me to discover there.” With her recent project, The Bhootnii, Palak is still creating her path on her own in the industry.
