Actor Swara Bhasker reportedly offered to quit Rise & Fall 2 after fellow contestant Siwet Tomar was evicted following a physical confrontation with political analyst Shehzad Poonawalla.
Karan Patel, another contestant on the reality show, also reportedly expressed his desire to walk out alongside Siwet, arguing that Shehzad’s provocation had contributed to the escalation.
Clash During Ultimate Ruler Race
The confrontation unfolded during the Ultimate Ruler race, a high-stakes phase of the game that would determine who held the most power inside the Tower.
Before the race could begin, the contestants were asked to identify the weakest decision-maker. Multiple Rulers named Siwet, while Karan Patel selected Shehzad.
Siwet was subsequently removed from contention for the Ultimate Ruler race. He was then given an opportunity to name the contestant he considered the weakest decision-maker and chose Shehzad.
The nominations continued, with Shehzad choosing Karan, Karan selecting Swara and Swara choosing Raj. Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Tej Pratap Yadav and Irina Rudakova consequently emerged as the first three contenders for the Ultimate Ruler position.
Siwet, Shehzad Clash Turns Physical
The situation escalated after Shehzad questioned Siwet’s changing equation with Swara and raised what he described as double standards.
The argument eventually turned physical, with Siwet grabbing Shehzad and pushing him down. Shehzad was reportedly injured and his clothes were torn during the confrontation.
Physical violence is prohibited on the show, leading to disciplinary action against Siwet and his subsequent eviction.
Swara, Karan Object to Eviction
Following Siwet’s eviction, Swara and Karan reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the decision.
Both were shown choosing to walk out alongside Siwet, while arguing that Shehzad’s actions had contributed to the confrontation.
The incident has added another layer of tension to Rise & Fall 2, where contestants are divided between the Tower’s Penthouse and Basement as they compete for power and survival.
Who Remains in the Game?
Following the developments, the Penthouse line-up included Karan Patel, Tej Pratap Yadav, Shehzad Poonawalla, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Swara Bhasker, Siwet Tomar, Irina Rudakova and Raj Grover, while Niharika Tiwari, Kaira Anu, Anish Bhagat, Sara Gurpal, Manish Kashyap, Gautam Gulati and Kajal Raghwani were in the Basement.
Siwet’s eviction and the reactions from Swara and Karan are expected to shape the show’s next phase.
