Shweta Tiwari recently had an unwanted surprise with her online grocery order. The popular television actress ordered a Red Bull through Swiggy Instamart and found a cockroach crawling out of the delivery. She took to her Instagram Stories to share videos of the incident and tagged Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, asking him to look into the matter.
The Unwanted Guest That Came With the Order
Shweta Tiwari explained in her Instagram video that she had ordered Red Bull from Instamart. But along with the energy drink, she received an unexpected guest. In the clip, she showed the cockroach moving around her furniture and said:
“Humne Instamart se Red Bull mangaya. Iske saath hamare ghar mai cockroach bhi aaya. Ye dekhiye, cockroach pure ghar mai bhaag raha hai.”
She also mentioned that the cockroach was running all over the house. Someone tried to swat the insect, but the actress stopped them.
Shweta Tiwari Directly Questions FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe
In another Instagram Story, Shweta Tiwari directly addressed Maharashtra FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe. She asked:
“So, should we tag Tukaram Munde ji? Munde ji abhi ye Instamart se hamare ghar cockroach bhi aa rahe hain. Aap kaha hain? Dhyaan dijiye.”
Her friends could be heard laughing in the background as they dealt with the unexpected visitor. Later, stylist Victor Robinson shared a picture with Shweta and wrote, “With the women who hate cockroaches at home and otherwise .. OG @shweta.tiwari.”
Who Is Tukaram Mundhe and Why Is He in the News?
Tukaram Mundhe serves as the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner. He took charge of the position in May 2026. Under his leadership, the FDA has been conducting inspections of restaurants, sweet shops, dairies, food manufacturers, and quick-commerce warehouses.
His strict actions against establishments found violating food safety and hygiene rules have earned him praise online. Many social media users have started calling him ‘Asli Singham’.
Just this week, the Maharashtra FDA seized banned items and milk and dairy products worth ₹25 lakh and suspended the licences of five hotels and restaurants for violations.
Shweta Tiwari’s complaint comes at a time when Mundhe has been receiving considerable attention for his food safety crackdown.
