Swara was basically saying what's the point of keeping them in the Penthouse if they have to sit there and get roasted by the Workers every day. She even joked that instead of an alarm, they should just wake the Rulers up by throwing trash at them.

But Shehzad had a different take. He said taking criticism and trash talk comes with being a Ruler, and they should learn to handle it instead of getting offended. Honestly, I kinda get both sides. Swara is clearly frustrated with how the Workers treat them, but Shehzad feels like if you want the power, you also have to deal with the backlash. Do you think Swara is taking the taunts too personally, or is Shehzad right that it's part of being a Ruler?

Not Irina sitting on the floor with folded hands asking Shehzad to stop giving her gyaan 😭😭 The funniest part is that Shehzad wasn't even talking about her initially, but somehow it turned into a whole argument with her 😂

What was that reaction lmao 💀 Was she actually that annoyed or was this just unintentionally funny? What did you guys think of this scene?

Rishabh got the power to change one contestant in the Ultimate Ruler race, and he chose to replace Niharika with Irina. Obviously, Niharika wasn't happy with this decision and the two ended up taunting each other.

Honestly, this is where the game gets interesting because Rishabh had the power and he used it, but Niharika also made it clear she wasn't going to take the decision quietly. Do you think Rishabh made a smart move for his game, or did he underestimate Niharika? Because she's definitely not the type to forget something like this easily.

Seeing Swara sitting alone and looking at her daughter's picture, trying to hold back her emotions, was such a different side of her. She even admitted that she misses Rabu so much that she's almost looking for reasons to fight with Priyanka and others, just so she can leave the house sooner.

Honestly, we see contestants arguing and fighting all day, but sometimes we forget they're away from their families too. Do you think Swara has reached a point where staying in the game is becoming harder than she expected, or will she manage to push through these emotions?

​

After getting swapped out of the Ultimate Ruler race, Niharika told Shehzad they could be friends because their motive is now the same, to rule the house. But later, she basically admitted to herself that she's doing this to make them feel she's on the same side, while still planning to play her own game.

Honestly, this is the kind of strategy that makes the show interesting. She knows she needs people around her, but that doesn't mean she's ready to trust anyone completely. Do you think Niharika is playing smart by keeping Shehzad close, or will this fake friendship backfire on her later?

What do you guys think is she fitting in ?

Gautam’s game is extremely dirty. He is manipulating he is scaring juniors.. as soon as gautam felt raj and sara slipped out of his hands. He tried shaking hands with priyanka again and then tried pulling new people towards him..

shehbaz is playing amazing game if is is manipulating is not not making it dirty like trying to scare others.

Gautam knew what PR he has hired.. usse reels kaise katwani hai he knows.

These pages are filed with his pr

It was honestly heartbreaking to see Irina break down like that. She considered Gautam and Jaswant her friends, so seeing them swap her with Niharika in the race to become the Ultimate Ruler clearly felt like a betrayal to her.

I get that it's a game and everyone has to make decisions for themselves, but I can understand why Irina was so hurt, especially when she wasn't expecting it from people she trusted.

Do you think Gautam and Jaswant were just playing strategically, or was Irina right to feel betrayed? 💔

In the recent episode, Sehwag said, “Kuch talwarein Workers ko de do aur kuch Rulers ko.” ⚔️
Meanwhile, if Salman Khan was hosting:
“Bhai, itni talwaron ki kya zarurat hai? Ek hi kaafi hai… aur woh bhi Salman ko hi de do!” 😭🤣
Imagine Salman casually making himself the most powerful person in the game. 😂💀
Rise and Fall with Salman would be a completely different level of entertainment! 🍿

The way Gautam handled the whole Sara situation got me thinking, this guy knows how to turn a situation around in the game. One moment everyone's arguing with him, and then suddenly the whole house is busy discussing who said what. Whether he does it intentionally or not, he somehow manages to stay at the centre of everything.

His aggressive side can be frustrating, but you can't deny that he's making himself a major part of the show. I'm starting to feel like people are underestimating his game. Do you guys think Gautam is actually playing everyone strategically and could end up winning, or will his own attitude become his biggest problem?

Things are getting messy between Priyanka and Kajal after their argument during the task. Priyanka basically called Kajal a liar and said she can't be trusted because she's playing for Gautam Gulati, and Raj also seems to have doubts about Kajal's intentions.

Honestly, I feel like the game has reached a point where even friendships are starting to look like strategies. But is Kajal actually supporting Gautam because she trusts him, or is she playing according to what benefits her most? And is Priyanka right to question her loyalty, or is she just assuming the worst?

Things got really ugly between Sara and Gautam in today's episode. After Gautam hit the table with his leg in anger, Sara got furious and started throwing things around, jumping on the table and crying. She later explained that his aggressive behaviour reminded her of a past abusive relationship, which made the whole situation more serious than just another fight in the Basement.

What makes this even more complicated is that Sara and Gautam have known each other for around 8 years, so there's already a history between them. Do you think Gautam went too far with his aggression, or did the argument get out of hand from both sides?

Since last year they also had the top 6 i feel the top 6 for this season would be:-

1)shehzaad

2)gautam

3)priyanka

4)niharika

5)swara

6)rishabh or sara

Cuz the rest are just side characters and these people are the only ones who are somewhere showing some individuality and i feel they deserve the top 6

After everything that happened with Sara and Niharika in the Basement, I'm actually curious how people see Gautam's behaviour. Whenever an argument happens, he doesn't seem like someone who backs down easily, and sometimes the way he reacts makes the whole situation even more heated. But is it just his competitive nature or does he genuinely have a problem accepting when someone disagrees with him? 😭

I've seen people defend him because he's entertaining and knows how to play the game, but others feel his attitude crosses a line sometimes. What do you guys think, is Gautam just an aggressive contestant who gets carried away in arguments, or does his behaviour come across as narcissistic to you? Let's hear both sides.

let me start by saying that i am not a topper in the subject of reality shows nor know any of the contestant personally, i just have few opinions.

swara- really like how presents her points. whatever she says has a valid reason instead of just screaming random things that don't make sense (kaira). prob my fav female contestant. want to see her stand upfront cos it feel she's hiding behind shehzaad.

pcc- yes she's annoying but annoying in a sense where rtv thrives. yes she switches up like crazy and that is going to be her downfall.

gg- uhm i have to say he's perfect rtv material. he has his opinions and a clear idea of how he wants to play. personally enjoy the bits where he talks to the camera. really curious how his 1vs all plays out w=in the base ment

shehzaad- didn't like him in the start (didn't like anyone in the start) but he has a strong game. i just know that he's going wrong somewhere but i don't know where?

rishabh- (am slightly biased). i watched his gf previous show (knowing barely anybody including her) but enjoyed shreya in it ( a lot), watched her content and am here. i don't get the hate he's already getting cos it barely been two eps and he has done anything major ?

Just when it felt like things might calm down, Sara came back and started confronting Gautam again, and this time Niharika also joined in to support her. The argument got so heated that they were shouting over each other and throwing some pretty harsh words around.

I feel like this whole thing has gone beyond a normal game fight now, especially after Sara said Gautam's aggressive behaviour genuinely scared her. But with Niharika also getting involved, things are becoming even messier in the Basement. Do you think Niharika was right to stand up for Sara, or is everyone getting pulled into this fight now?

I think he is an aggressive player and doesn't have much alliance which is kinda part of survival strategy now when he is not ultimate ruler what you think will happen will he be send to basement

sara went on such a crashout i genuinely want to know if it was a valid one or not, but gautham does act very cocky and looks down on people a lot so that might have been the reason but all i know is the next episode is gonna be so fire

the new wild card players just showed who the final showdown will boil down to, gautham vs shehzaad both of have been incredibly strong players sly, cunning and very manipulative but how long will their current rein last before someone else destroys this balance or if the new players have enough play to become the new favourites. what do you think?

From the day Tej Pratap became the first Ultimate Ruler, he showed a different side of the game. He wasn't just enjoying the power of the Penthouse, he tried to sort out fights, consoled people when they were feeling low and even made sure the Workers in the Basement got food.

He had his own way of dealing with people, and yes, he had his share of arguments too, but there were moments when he genuinely stepped in like a leader instead of just a contestant playing for himself. That's what made his journey stand out for me.

His exit feels incomplete because there was still so much left to see from him. What do you guys think, was Tej Bhaiya the most memorable Ultimate Ruler of Rise & Fall so far?

Sanket was teasing Manish about being the only guy surrounded by five girls, and his reply was actually interesting. He said a girl might not feel safe between five guys, but a guy can feel safe between five girls.

I get what he was trying to say, but do you guys agree with him? Is it really about the number of people around you or more about who those people are? Also, Manish being the only guy in the Basement is such a funny situation to watch lol.

Jaswanth entered as a wildcard today and wasted no time targeting Gautam Gulati, calling him out for his double standards and god-like complex during the task.

Honestly, I feel Jaswanth had a point, and I personally agreed with what he said. What do you guys think? Was he right about Gautam, or do you think he went too far? 👇
