SEPARATE STORIES
 
A CTRESS Palak Tiwari recently opened up about how she and her mother Shweta Tiwari come from completely different life experiences, which ultimately shapes the kind of stories they connect with as performers. Speaking about the guidance she receives from her mother, Palak, in a conversation with IANS, revealed that despite Shweta being one of television’s most celebrated actresses, she has never interfered in her career decisions. Talking about her mother’s influence on her choice of projects, Palak shared, “I think what made her decisions so evergreen was the fact that she was completely uninfluenced when she made them.
 
As an actor, your gut is your most indispensable gift. And my mother, the best thing that she does for me is that she doesn’t interfere at all.” She further added, “Never has she ever tried to influence me. In fact, my mom always asks me, ‘You like this a lot, but do you really want to do it?’ Because our journeys are very different. With whatever she has seen in life, and the phase of life she is in compared to where I am and how my upbringing has been, we both have very different stories to tell.” Palak concluded by saying, “She understands that. She just asks me if something truly resonates with me. If it does, she tells me to do it. The only key has been that it should connect with you on some level. It should be a story that you are willing to tell.”
