“Its Absolute Bullshit”: Swara Bhasker Refuses to Hold Back After Siwet Tomar Is Asked to Leave Rise and Fall Season 2

If the Tower had already seen its share of alliances and rivalries, Day 4 proved that the game could change in a matter of moments. Siwet Tomar’s journey came to an abrupt end after his physical altercation with Shehzad Poonawalla, leaving the Penthouse divided over the fallout. Swara Bhasker didn’t hold back, calling the decision “Its absolute bullshit”, while Karan Patel’s reaction was equally telling: “Chal koi nahi woh aayega pagal usko mein maarke phir tere saath join karunga”. Downstairs, Niharika Tiwari was left emotional as an old friendship that had once turned sour resurfaced once again.

With the three contenders for the Ultimate Ruler crown – Tej Pratap Yadav, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary and Irina Rudakova, in the running, the game quickly turned into a test of strategy and shifting loyalties. Tej’s choices raised eyebrows as he named Manish Kashyap and Kajal Raghwani as the contestants he wanted to see rise, but Priyanka’s question about Manish made him rethink the call,as he recalled Manish’s past comments against him and his brother in Bihar. Meanwhile, Shehzad’s return to the Penthouse kept the fallout from his clash with Siwet alive, with tensions still running high around him. His equation with Priyanka also took an unexpected turn when she confronted him over comments on sensitive topics that had upset her. What began as a disagreement soon escalated into a full-blown fight, adding another rivalry to an already complicated Tower. With old friendships, fresh clashes and personal grudges now colliding inside the game, every choice carried the potential to shift the power equation and put someone else’s rise in jeopardy.

The Basement, meanwhile, was preparing for a fight of its own. The Workers were given the chance to change their standing, but every rise had to be earned through a valuation game that put their worth under the spotlight. Kajal started at ₹75,000, Manish moved to ₹1 lakh, Anish Bhagat to ₹1.25 lakh, Kaira Anu to ₹1.5 lakh, Niharika to ₹2 lakh, Sara Gurpal to ₹2.5 lakh, and Gautam Gulati reached ₹3 lakh. But the numbers came with plenty of friction. Kajal found herself repeatedly named as the weakest, sparking a confrontation with Kaira that pulled Niharika into the fray. As the valuations climbed and contestants were forced to make their choices, the Basement’s power struggle became just as unpredictable as the one upstairs.

Then, just when the hierarchy seemed to be taking shape, the Red Room was activated and suddenly, power came with a price. Here, the Rulers had to decide which Workers would play for them, turning the very contestants fighting to rise into crucial pieces of the Penthouse’s strategy. Tej chose Kajal, while Irina chose Anish and lastly Priyanka chose Kaira, setting the stage for Asli Ya Nakli. The task unfolded in two decisive rounds, with the winner of the first earning the power to knock one contender out of the Ultimate Ruler race, before the winner of the second claimed the coveted title and all the power that came with it. But as the Workers stepped in to sabotage the game, it wasn’t just petrol tanks that were under threat, loyalties were suddenly being put to the test.

Priyanka was caught off guard when Gautam chose to sabotage her, especially as she believed the two were friends. When she questioned his decision, Gautam made it clear that the game had shifted his priorities, telling her, “So you need to understand your alliance as well little bit, so once you will get to know about it later then you will realise kaha game upar neeche ho gayi. Like aapke liye koi aur priority tha aur mein priority nahi tha”. Priyanka countered, “Gautam mein zyaada paise nahi de sakti thi, hum yehi baat kar rahe the”, leaving their equation hanging in the air. As the sabotage continued, Kaira broke down, feeling targeted in the game, before Priyanka stepped in to console her and reminded her to keep smiling, win or lose. But while emotions and alliances were colliding inside the Red Room, Tej was quietly turning the chaos to his advantage. Kajal’s performance handed him the crucial edge, making him the winner of the first round and giving him the power to decide which contender would be knocked out of the Ultimate Ruler race. With the first Ultimate Ruler crown now within touching distance, would Tej’s next move change the entire game?
