In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Raja Chaudhary was asked whether he felt proud of Palak Tiwari for making a name for herself in the industry and working with Salman Khan.
Responding to the question, he said, "I don't know whether I am proud or not. I have no idea where she is, what she is eating, what she is doing, where she is living, who she is with or who she is working with. I don't even want to know unless she comes to me herself and says, 'Dad, this is what's happening.' If she ever needs me, I am available for her 24/7. She doesn't need me in her life at all."

Raja was also asked how he felt about the rumours linking Palak Tiwari with Ibrahim Ali Khan.
He replied, "What difference does it make whether they are together or not? It doesn't matter to me. She is not living alone in a jungle for it to be such a big issue. For a father, what matters is whether the daughter has maintained a relationship with him or not.”
Adding to it, he also talked about Shweta Tiwari and said, “Ask her mother how she feels. Why should it matter to me? I have only been told that I am her biological father. I have nothing to do with it. What do you expect me to feel?"

Raja Chaudhary married Shweta Tiwari in 1998, and their daughter was Palak born in 2000. In 2007, Shweta sought a divorce from Raja on the grounds that he was a domestic abuser because of his addiction to alcohol. Recently, however, Raja has denied these claims in an interview.
