While the drama inside the Bigg Boss 20 house is reaching a boiling point, the controversies outside are proving to be equally explosive. Contestant Rhiti Tiwari, who has been grabbing headlines for her bold statements on the reality show, is currently at the center of a massive external controversy involving Punjabi singer and music producer Ekam Bawa.
Recently, Ekam Bawa took the internet by storm when he released a series of videos claiming to be the former husband of Rhiti’s mother, Rani Tiwari, thereby making him Rhiti’s former stepfather. In these viral videos, he launched a scathing attack on Rhiti’s public image, accusing the mother-daughter duo of severe mental torture and contradicting Rhiti’s claims of financial struggles.
However, Rhiti’s team and family have now officially hit back. Releasing a stern public statement, they have entirely dismissed Ekam’s claims as baseless and announced that strict legal action has been initiated against the singer.
Here is a complete breakdown of the allegations, Ekam Bawa’s viral videos, and the official legal response from Team Rhiti Tiwari!
Ekam Bawa’s Explosive Allegations: “Torture and Lies”
The controversy ignited when Ekam Bawa took to social media to call out Rhiti’s behavior on the reality show, specifically addressing her recent claims regarding her finances. On Bigg Boss 20, Rhiti mentioned surviving on a modest monthly allowance of ₹20,000 to ₹25,000.
Ekam sharply contradicted this narrative, alleging that Rhiti was feeding the audience a false “struggle” story. In his video, he claimed, “You own handbags worth ₹4 to ₹5 lakhs… and then there are the big cars you have. Just maintaining a Range Rover costs ₹2.5 to ₹3 lakhs. You own a sports company and huge apartments in Mumbai. And you’re talking about ₹25,000?”
The allegations took a much darker turn when Ekam accused Rhiti and her mother, Rani Tiwari, of subjecting him to intense mental and physical harassment. Recounting an alleged incident, Ekam claimed that during a late-night argument, Rhiti threw all his clothes out of the cupboard and disrespectfully yelled, “Ekam Bawa, nikal (get out)”. He further alleged that Rani Tiwari had slapped him, sharing visuals that he presented as evidence. The Punjabi singer shockingly claimed that the prolonged “torture” even drove him to attempt suicide, which led to a 12-day hospital stay.
Team Rhiti Tiwari Strikes Back: Legal Action Initiated
Following the rapid circulation of these highly damaging videos, Rhiti’s PR team and family broke their silence to aggressively defend the Bigg Boss 20 contestant. Releasing a formal statement across social media platforms, Team Rhiti expressed deep disappointment over the spread of unverified and defamatory content.
The official statement strongly denied all the allegations made by Ekam Bawa, including the claims of him being Rani Tiwari’s husband and Rhiti’s stepfather. Highlighting that Rhiti is currently locked inside the Bigg Boss house and is completely unaware of the character assassination happening outside, her team emphasized the need for a fair trial of facts in the public domain.
The statement read, “We request the media to please verify facts before amplifying such defamatory claims and give the family a fair chance to be heard.”
Most importantly, the team confirmed that they are not taking the harassment lightly. Concluding their response, they announced that “necessary legal action has been initiated against Ekam Bawa in relation to these allegations.”
While the exact nature of the legal proceedings remains undisclosed, the swift legal retaliation has certainly put a temporary halt to the viral rumors. As the legal battle brews on the outside, fans are left wondering how Rhiti will react when she eventually steps out of the Bigg Boss house and discovers the massive storm that erupted during her absence.
