Raja Chaudhary Slams Shweta Tiwari, Calls Her ‘Unpadh’ and Takes Credit for Palak Tiwari’s Career

In yet another explosive statement that has sparked outrage and debate, actor Raja Chaudhary has taken a direct dig at his ex-wife Shweta Tiwari, calling her “unpadh” (uneducated) and audaciously claiming that he was the mastermind behind their daughter Palak Tiwari’s flourishing career. At a time when Shweta continues to be praised for single-handedly raising Palak, Raja’s statement has hit like a bolt of controversy.

Speaking to the media, Raja Chaudhary accused Shweta Tiwari of lacking education and parental vision. According to him, she had no concrete plan for Palak’s future and that it was he who had always seen the potential in Palak and designed her journey towards stardom. This statement comes across as a blatant attempt to snatch away the credit Shweta has rightfully earned over the years.

While Raja may want to be seen as a visionary father, the public isn't convinced. Many are pointing out that Raja Chaudhary was largely absent from Palak’s life, especially after his much-publicized split with Shweta Tiwari, which was riddled with allegations of domestic violence. Shweta, on the other hand, continued to work in television, raise her daughter with dignity, and shield her from the media frenzy as much as possible.

To call such a woman “unpadh” after she managed to build an empire for herself and provide a stable upbringing for her daughter is not only disrespectful but reeks of insecurity and misogyny. It’s no secret that Shweta had to face immense personal and professional struggles after her divorce. Yet she never used the media to degrade her ex-husband or gain sympathy — a stark contrast to Raja’s latest move.

What’s even more absurd is Raja’s claim that Palak is where she is today because of his foresight. The reality is that Palak’s career took off after Shweta introduced her to the world of acting and guided her through the rough terrain of Bollywood. From giving interviews to carefully crafting Palak’s public image, Shweta has been visibly active and involved in every step of her daughter’s journey.

Social media users have not taken kindly to Raja’s words. Hashtags like #RespectShwetaTiwari and #ShameOnRajaChaudhary are trending, with fans and fellow celebrities slamming him for trying to rewrite history. Netizens are calling it a classic case of an absentee parent suddenly wanting credit once the child achieves success.

This statement isn’t just controversial — it’s problematic. In a society where women constantly battle to be taken seriously as professionals and as single parents, Raja’s attempt to belittle Shweta’s hard work reflects poorly on him, not her.

While Raja Chaudhary may have intended to stir the pot and grab some headlines, he has instead exposed the deep-rooted patriarchal mindset that refuses to acknowledge a woman’s capability to succeed on her own terms — and raise a star while at it.

Shweta Tiwari, as always, maintains her silence. And honestly, she doesn’t need to respond — Palak Tiwari’s success is proof enough of who truly shaped her path.
