Mumbai, September 28, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The team of Bigg Boss 20 contestant Rhiti Tiwari has responded to allegations made by her alleged former stepfather and Punjabi singer Ekam Bawa, who claimed that Rhiti and her mother, Rani Tiwari, “tortured” him while they were living together.
On Monday, Rhiti’s team shared a statement on her official Instagram Stories, describing the allegations made by Ekam as “false” and urging the media to verify facts before reporting them.
The team also stated that necessary legal action had been initiated against Bawa in connection with the allegations.
The statement read, “We are disappointed to see false claims made by #EkamBawa against Rhiti Tiwari and her family being carried across various media platforms. Rhiti is currently inside the #BiggBoss20 house and can’t respond to these allegations herself (sic).”
It further stated, “We request the media to please verify facts before amplifying such defamatory claims and give the family a fair chance to be heard. Necessary legal action has been initiated against #EkamBawa in relation to these allegations.”
Ekam recently shared a video on his social media account in which he alleged that Rhiti and Rani had “tortured” him during the period he lived with them.
Recounting an alleged incident, Ekam said in the video, “Bhai, Rhiti aayi mere room mein, mere almeera se hanger se jitne kapde the mere, isne pakad ke saare zameen pe phenk diye.” (Rhiti came into my room, took all my clothes from the hangers in my cupboard, and threw them on the floor.)
He claimed that Rhiti then told him, “Ekam Bawa, nikal.” (Ekam Bawa, get out.)
Ekam further said that he was shocked that Rhiti addressed him by his name and questioned her about their relationship. He recalled asking her, “Kya rishta hai mera tumhara, tumhe pata hai?” (Do you even know what relationship we have with each other?)
Earlier, Ekam had also disputed Rhiti’s claims about receiving a monthly allowance of Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000, describing them as false.
“You own handbags worth Rs 4 to 5 lakhs… and then there are the big cars you have. Just maintaining a Range Rover costs Rs 2.5 to 3 lakhs,” he said.
