It was an emotional father-daughter moment for TV actress Shweta Tiwari’s ex-husband Raja Chaudhary and their daughter Palak Tiwari who is going to be an actress soon!


Raja who is a Bhojpuri actor/producer met his daughter Palak after a long gap of 13 years on Thursday in Mumbai. He later posted an adorable picture featuring the father-daughter duo on his social media page.


In the picture one can see Raja having an emotional moment with daughter Palak who is posing next to his father with all her smiles.



A report in TimesofIndia.com states that Raja got emotional on meeting his daughter as when he last saw Palak she was a little girl and now she is all grown-up.



Raja further added that, "Palak and he was in touch with each other through Whatsapp messages.


“Every day I used to message her Good Morning. But we hadn't met at all.I was staying in Meerut with my parents. But had some work in Mumbai, so I called Palak who was rehearsing for her film. She took time out and we met a hotel in Andheri in Mumbai for around one and a half hours. There were no grudges between us nor did we discuss our past. There were only pyaar bhari talks between us. I told her about my side of the family -- her dada-dadi, chacha-chachi, etc. She was excited to know about them and told me that she will soon come to visit us all. It is a new phase for both of us. I am still that ever caring and loving father for her,"said Raja while speaking to TOI.


Raja feels that life has given him a second chance to mend things with his daughter and he is making the most of it. He also thanked his ex-wife Shweta Tiwari for raising Palak so well and says his daughter has turned out to be a beautiful girl.


“ My love for Palak has not changed at all over these years, even though I wasn't allowed to meet her all these years. But now she is a grown up girl and can take her own decisions. I wish I would have met her all these years, but it is okay. I really missed all the things a father would want to enjoy with his daughter- her growing up, her school, her likes and dislikes, etc. But when I met her today, I realized my daughter Palak has turned out to be a beautiful girl, it's all thanks to my ex-wife Shweta Tiwari. I am really happy now," he says.




For the uninitiated, Palak who is now 20-year-old is daughter of Shweta and Raja who were married for seven years before getting divorced in 2007. When her parents got divorced Palak was just 7-year-old. Shweta later married Abhinav Kohli in 2013, and has a son together name Reyansh.



Last year, Shweta separated from her second husband Abhinav too and is now raising both her kids- Palak and Reyansh as single mother.
