After her mid-week eviction from Bigg Boss 20, Rhiti Tiwari has opened up about her much-discussed equation with Qazi Touqeer and the controversy that unfolded between them during the reality show.

Rhiti admitted that she was affected by Qazi’s presence and attention inside the house. What initially began as admiration and an artistic connection eventually turned into comparison, with the singer wondering why she was not receiving the same attention. The emotions came to a head during a rap task when personal remarks were exchanged.

Looking back, Rhiti acknowledged that her reaction was wrong. She described Salman Khan’s criticism during Weekend Ka Vaar as a life-changing moment that forced her to examine her behaviour.

“I had to sit and listen to the consequences of everything I had done,” Rhiti said, reflecting on the episode. She added that she later questioned why she had reacted the way she did.

Rhiti Says Her Bond With Qazi Was Genuine

Rhiti also addressed discussions around her alleged envy of Qazi. She said she was not afraid to acknowledge that such feelings may have existed, describing them as human emotions that people often discuss privately.

At the same time, she insisted that her connection with Qazi was genuine. After her exit, Qazi gave her a ring as a good-luck gesture, while Rhiti later shared a message expressing her support for him.

She rejected suggestions that her positive comments were an attempt to gain favour with Qazi’s fanbase, calling him an impactful person in her journey.

Family Reaction and Possible Bigg Boss Return

Rhiti said her mother remained proud of her but also advised her that not everything needed to be said on national television. She also reacted to her father Manoj Tiwari’s visible anxiety while watching the show.

The singer further addressed social media claims about her upbringing and financial background, saying legal action had been taken wherever necessary.

Despite the difficult experience, Rhiti said she would happily return to Bigg Boss if given another opportunity. She felt her journey had only just begun when she was eliminated and believes she still had more to show audiences.
