In Short

• Siwet Tomar evicted from Rise & Fall 2 after physical fight with Shehzad Poonawalla
• The Ultimate Ruler race sparked conflict between Siwet and Shehzad
• Siwet was named the weakest decision-maker, which led to the fight

Swara Bhasker threatened to quit Rise & Fall 2 after Siwet Tomar was evicted over a physical altercation with Shehzad Poonawalla during a high-stakes phase of the game. Karan Patel also said he would like to walk out with Siwet, saying Shehzad's provocation had contributed to the escalation.

The clash came after the announcement of the Ultimate Ruler race, a contest that would decide who held the most power inside the Tower. The Ultimate Ruler was to take the biggest decisions in the game and would also be safe from the fall that week, but before the race could begin, one contestant had to be removed from contention after the Rulers were asked to identify the weakest decision-maker.

As the vote began, multiple Rulers named Siwet as the weakest decision-maker, while Karan Patel identified Shehzad as his target. The vote also highlighted the shift in Siwet and Shehzad's equation. Reacting sharply, Siwet said, "A coward... he says behind my back that he wants to support me." He added, "A strong person is the one before whom you come with folded hands, asking for support when I am standing in front of Swara." His message to Shehzad and Tej Pratap Yadav was equally direct: "Your word should carry value."

With the votes against him, Siwet was removed from the Ultimate Ruler race. He was then given one last chance to name the Ruler he believed was the weakest decision-maker, and he chose Shehzad. Shehzad then named Karan, Karan chose Swara and Swara picked Raj. That left Priyanka, Tej Pratap Yadav and Irina as the first three contenders for the Ultimate Ruler crown.

Heated exchange turns physical

Just as the power equation appeared to be settling, Siwet, who had said he would never speak to Swara again, was seen sitting with her. Shehzad questioned the sudden shift and the equation forming with Swara, calling out what he saw as double standards. The argument escalated, and Siwet grabbed Shehzad by the neck and pushed him down. Shehzad was left injured and his clothes were torn in the process.

As physical violence is strictly prohibited inside the Tower, the disciplinary action was immediate, and Siwet's journey in the game came to an abrupt end. The fallout continued, with Swara and Karan Patel refusing to accept the decision and saying Shehzad's provocation had played a part in the escalation. Both chose to walk out alongside Siwet.

Where the game stood by the end

By the end of the game, the Tower line-up had Karan Patel, Tej Pratap Yadav, Shehzad Poonawalla, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Swara Bhasker, Siwet Tomar, Irina Rudakova and Raj Grover in the Penthouse, while Niharika Tiwari, Kaira Anu, Anish Bhagat, Sara Gurpal, Manish Kashyap, Gautam Gulati and Kajal Raghwani remained in the Basement.

Produced by Banijay Asia and hosted by Virender Sehwag, Rise & Fall Season 2 airs every day on Prime Video at 12 noon.
