New Delhi. The tension between actress Swara Bhasker and Shehzad Poonawalla, which initially played out on social media, has now spilled inside the Rise and Fall 2 house. A heated argument broke out between the two contestants inside the show. The controversy began when show host Virender Sehwag questioned Shehzad about why he was avoiding Swara and refusing to speak to her inside the house.
Virender Sehwag Brings Up Past Social Media Clashes
Addressing the past statements exchanged between the two on social media, Virender Sehwag pointed out that Shehzad had frequently spoken about Swara, responded to her, and even provoked her outside the show. However, when Swara entered the house and came face to face with him, Shehzad chose not to communicate with her at all. In a lighthearted manner, Sehwag asked Shehzad if he had lost his voice or was keeping quiet intentionally.
Shehzad Poonawalla Defends His Stance
Responding to Virender Sehwag, Shehzad stated that no one on earth has the power to suppress his voice. He added that he chooses not to engage with negativity, remarking that if someone asks for milk they will get kheer, but if someone interferes, they will be countered sharply with words. Shehzad maintained that he was simply choosing to ignore Swara inside the house.
Swara Bhasker Hits Back at the Ignoring Claim
When Shehzad claimed he was merely ignoring her, Swara Bhasker immediately counterattacked. The actress argued that ignoring someone genuinely means giving them zero attention, which was far from what Shehzad was doing. Swara pointed out that ever since the show was announced, Shehzad had posted 36 tweets, created three to four videos, and sent countless messages about her. She noted that instead of campaigning for votes for himself, his team was busy focusing on her, which certainly did not count as ignoring someone.
Arguments Over Nationalism and Political Careers
The verbal duel intensified further when Shehzad stated that he will always speak against anyone who speaks against the country, regardless of the circumstances. Reacting to this, Swara remarked that the platform is a game show and not an election, adding that a sinking political career cannot be revived here. Hitting back at her comment, Shehzad told her not to worry about his political career and instead focus on helping her husband win.
Streaming Details on Prime Video
Notably, the video of this intense verbal spat between Swara and Shehzad has been going viral rapidly across social media platforms. Viewers and fans have been sharing their diverse reactions online regarding the ongoing tension between the two. Rise and Fall Season 2 has been produced in collaboration with Banijay Asia. The show is currently streaming on Prime Video, with new episodes releasing every day at 12 PM.
