Social media influencer Niharika Tiwari has made a decisive move in Rise and Fall 2, eliminating Shehzad Poonawalla and Irina Rudakova from the race for the title after taking over as the Ultimate Ruler. The latest episode of the reality show, hosted by cricket icon Virender Sehwag, saw the power dynamics shift as the Workers were given a chance to influence the game.

Produced by Banijay Asia, Rise and Fall 2 released its 19th episode on October 14. After Shehzad’s stint as the Ultimate Ruler came to an end, the Workers chose Niharika as the new leader, handing her the authority to eliminate two contestants from contention. She acted on the power, naming Shehzad and Irina, with fellow contestants Priyanka Chahar Choudhary and Sara Gurpal supporting her decision.

The game also took another turn when the Workers were asked to select a contestant to replace one of the remaining Rulers. They chose Rishabh Jaiswal, leaving him with a decision that could further alter the competition.

As the race for the crown heats up, personal equations in the Tower continue to shift. Gautam Gulati and Sara Gurpal put their differences aside, while Gautam discussed Shehzad Poonawalla’s behaviour with the Workers, saying it borders on emotional blackmail. Amid the confrontations, Gautam and Sonam Malik shared a light-hearted moment as they broke into a dance, offering a brief breather before the next power play unfolded.

Viewers can stream Rise and Fall 2 for free on Amazon MX Player, also available through the MX Player app, with new episodes releasing daily at 12 noon. As alliances shift and contestants vie for control, the latest developments have added another layer of uncertainty to the race for the title.
