The content creator, who lived with her mother and sister, had amassed a huge following across Facebook and Instagram.
She regularly shared lifestyle content and dance videos and had also competed in local beauty pageants.
Tiwari was named Miss Pretty India in January 2024, as reported by Need To Know.
In the hours before her death, she shared several posts on Facebook.
One of her final messages reflected on love and finding fulfilment within yourself.
Translated from Hindi, she wrote: “No one has fulfilled this incomplete heart, I have completed it with myself, that is why it is said to love yourself, not someone else, search yourself in yourself, someone else, how long will you search for yourself?”
Local reports claim Tiwari had an argument with someone over the phone at around 8pm on Saturday.
Her mother reportedly told police that Tiwari then went into her bedroom, locked the door and refused to eat.
She is said to have asked her family to leave her alone.
When Tiwari failed to respond to her family the following morning, relatives alerted police.
Officers attended the property and discovered her dead inside.
Morwa Police have opened an investigation into her death.
The investigation is expected to include a post-mortem examination and a review of activity on her mobile phone.
Police have not released further details surrounding the circumstances of her death.
