Rise and Fall 2: ‘Rise and Fall Season 2’ has kicked off, and the show has grabbed headlines right from the very first episode. Virender Sehwag appears as the host this season, while Swara Bhasker has entered the show as a contestant. Her entry was marked by a distinctive style statement that became a topic of conversation.
Swara Bhasker entered the show wearing a purple saree. Her blouse featured the word ‘Moti’ (Fat) written in large letters, instantly drawing everyone’s attention. Show host Virender Sehwag even asked her why she had chosen to have ‘Moti’ written on her blouse.
Reason given for writing ‘Moti’ on the blouse
Responding to Sehwag’s question, Swara explained that this was her way of hitting back at body-shaming. She shared that she had gained weight after the birth of her daughter and was subsequently subjected to constant trolling on social media regarding her body and weight.
Swara mentioned that social media users had called her ‘Moti’ and used various other offensive terms to address her. She stated that she chose to embrace the very word used against her by displaying it on her blouse. According to Swara, this serves as a response to the trolling she has endured over the past few years.
‘I now accept your words’
While discussing the trolling on the show, Swara noted that her daughter is now three years old. Ever since her daughter’s birth, she had faced constant comments on social media regarding her weight gain.
Swara said that when people called her by various names, she decided to simply embrace the term. According to her, writing ‘Moti’ on her blouse is her personal response to those comments. Heated Argument with Tehzaad Poonawalla
Apart from Swara Bhasker, several well-known faces—including Karan Patel, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Gautam Gulati, and Tehzaad Poonawalla—have joined ‘Rise and Fall 2’ as contestants. A heated argument broke out between Swara and Tehzaad Poonawalla in the very first episode of the show.
During the conversation, Tehzaad also mentioned Swara’s husband, Fahad Ahmad. Subsequently, the dispute between the two escalated to include personal matters and issues related to their political careers. This verbal clash in the premiere episode has generated significant buzz around the show.
