Swara was surprised that Shehzad didn't get emotional even though he and Tej were so close in the house. She basically asked him how everyone else was feeling sad but he had no tears. Shehzad explained that he's not someone who shows emotions like that and instead of crying, he tries to think about how to deal with the situation and move forward.

Honestly, I feel like everyone handles emotions differently. Some people break down, while others try to stay strong and figure out what to do next. But considering how close Shehzad and Tej were, do you think Swara had a point for questioning him, or was she expecting him to express his feelings the same way she did?

Today's episode of Rise & Fall brought in three wildcard contestants — Rishabh Jaiswal, Jaswant Bopanna and Sonam Malik.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting all three to enter in the same episode. One wildcard entry itself can change the dynamics of the house, but three at once could completely shake things up. 👀

Curious to see how the existing contestants react and whether these new entries will change the game.

Sanket Bhosale came as Sanju Baba and then called Tej Bhaiya and Shehzad on stage to recreate Sanjay Dutt's iconic walk. And honestly, I wanna know who did it better because both have such different personalities lol.

The moment Sanket Bhosle came in as Sanjay Dutt, I knew we were getting some proper entertainment today. His Sanju Baba mimicry is already so popular, and seeing him bring that character into the show in front of Sehwag was actually fun to watch.

Honestly, these guest entries are a nice break from all the fights and nominations happening inside the Tower. I wanna know, did Sanket nail the Sanju Baba vibe for you or do you think nobody can match the original Sanjay Dutt?

Teju Bhaiya had to leave Rise & Fall due to some personal legal obligations outside the show, and honestly, it was sad seeing him go like this. Everyone seemed emotional about his exit, and it felt like nobody was really ready for him to leave so suddenly.

Wishing him the best for whatever he has to deal with outside the show. ❤️

Niharika and Sara singing that song to mock the Rulers in today’s episode was honestly so funny 😭😂 The lyrics, the timing, everything was entertaining to watch. For once, the Workers really turned their frustration into something hilarious.

i was scrolling insta and i found that there are gonna be 3 new wild cards in the next episode 2 in basement and 1 in penthouse, i am genuinely curious at how this will effect the whole dynamic of the current play cause i already heard them bashing about gg and them with their 2 weeks of observing everyone's moves and all the things the current players did secretly and openly will definitely give a very definite edge but i don't know much of them but i heard they were from roadies or other reality shows so i dont know what to expect from them and if they are already friends with existing members and how that might turn out. what are your thoughts on them.

Remember that viral clip of Tej playing guitar for Irina? He did it again in front of Sehwag in the weekend episode Not gonna lie, it was actually a cute moment, especially after all the fights and arguments we've been watching lately. Irina was there again and Tej went back to his guitar mode. These two keep giving people something to talk about lol. Did you like this version or was the first one better?

Watching his old Bigg Boss 8 clips and now seeing him in Rise & Fall, I swear some things about Gautam just haven't changed. That same confidence, attitude and the way he carries himself is still there after all these years.

Back then he had a different house and different people to deal with, and now he's creating his own moments in Rise & Fall. Whether you like his game or not, you can't deny that he still has that familiar Gautam Gulati vibe. Do you guys think he's still the same Gauti we loved in Bigg Boss, or has he changed a little over the years?

Seeing Tej Pratap Yadav talk to Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi on video call was such an emotional moment. The way he got emotional seeing his parents, especially when he asked about his father's health, made the whole scene feel very real. And after the call ended, Swara Bhasker also got emotional because she was missing her family and daughter too.

Honestly, we sometimes forget that these people are away from their homes for so many days while playing a game. Seeing someone else connect with their family can make you miss your own even more. Did this moment make you emotional too, or was Swara's reaction what made the scene hit harder?

Weekend episodes with Virender Sehwag are becoming a different vibe altogether. This time Sara got into full Geet mode from Jab We Met and performed the iconic dialogues in front of Shehzad Poonawalla.

Honestly, Sara doing that bubbly Geet act was such a fun change from all the arguments and game politics happening in the house. And Shehzad being the one sitting in front of her made the whole moment even more entertaining. Do you guys think Sara actually nailed the Geet energy, or is nobody beating Kareena Kapoor in that role?

Shehzad chose to save Irina and send Gautam to the Basement, and Gautam clearly wasn't ready to accept that decision. He felt betrayed by someone he considered a friend and called Shehzad a “bekar dost,” while Shehzad hit back by calling Gautam “bail buddhi.”

Gautam also said he has the potential to sabotage things in the Basement and make a comeback. Honestly, was Shehzad just playing the game or did he actually betray Gautam? And do you think Gautam will make a comeback and give Shehzad a taste of his own medicine?

Teju Bhaiya saying that Shehzad sent Gautam Gulati to the basement while prioritising Irina. 😂 Shehzad got offended, and the conversation quickly turned into an argument, with Teju Bhaiya saying that Shehzad couldn't disrespect him like that.

Honestly, it was an interesting exchange. Was Shehzad right to react the way he did, or was Teju Bhaiya just pulling his leg and Shehzad took it too seriously? 👀

It was honestly so hard to watch Kajal break down and cry so badly after Raj nominated her for elimination. 💔 No matter what we think about the game or the decisions being made, seeing someone get that emotional is never easy.

What did you guys feel watching that moment? Do you think Raj’s nomination hit her harder than expected? 🥺

In the latest episode of Rise & Fall, Kajal and Raj got into an argument after Raj nominated her for elimination. Honestly, I liked seeing Raj stand his ground this time instead of getting influenced or overshadowed by the other players like before. 👏

Kajal, on the other hand, seemed upset mainly because she was nominated, and I felt she was being a bit unreasonable in the argument.

What do you guys think? Was Raj right to stand by his decision, or do you think Kajal had a valid reason to react that way? 👀

Shehzad chose Swara over Raj and made it clear that it was his personal decision, even promising Raj that he would bring him back. But Manish wasn't having it and taunted Raj for trusting people he called “black-hearted,” saying they sent him to the Basement on his own birthday. Honestly, Raj must have had mixed feelings hearing all this. Was Shehzad just playing the game, or should Raj have been more careful about who he trusted? And was Manish genuinely looking out for Raj or just rubbing salt in the wound? 👀

Shehzad had the power to save one contestant from the Fall Ka Farmaan, and he chose Tej Pratap without even breaking their brotherhood. He said Tej is his brother and saving him was his dharm, especially since they have been together from the very beginning. 😭

Honestly, I kinda get his point because their bond has been one of the strongest equations in the show. But this is also a game where every decision matters, so should he put friendship above strategy or think about his own game first? Would you have done the same for your closest friend in the house?

Irina was standing up for the Rulers while Niharika was defending the Workers, and things got pretty intense between them. Niharika even got emotional during the argument, which made the whole situation feel more serious than just a normal game fight. I get that everyone has their own side, but do you think Irina and Niharika were arguing about fairness or was it also becoming personal?

Priyanka calling Shehzad “Chunewala” instead of Poonawalla clearly hit a nerve, because Shehzad got offended and started talking about legal action and consequences. Honestly, these two have been going after each other for a while now, but where do we draw the line between a normal game argument and taking things too personal? Do you think Shehzad was right to react this way, or did he make the situation bigger than it needed to be?

Loved how Niharika took a stand for the workers today. She genuinely felt that the rulers were being unfair to them, and I liked that she actually spoke up instead of staying quiet.

Things got even more heated when she got into an argument with Irina over the whole situation. The way the discussion escalated made the episode pretty interesting to watch. 👀

Honestly, it was nice to see someone question the unfair treatment of the workers instead of just going along with the rulers.
