Tempers flared when Manish Kashyap threw his mic and kicked a storeroom door during a clash with Sonam Malik on Rise and Fall 2. Her taunt set him off, but he returned soon after and admitted he had lost control. Host Virender Sehwag then addressed the heated mood.
What set off the explosion
As reported by India Today, the row began as someone else’s fight. Sonam was arguing with Priyanka Chahar Choudhary. Priyanka turned to Manish and said he had not taken her side. Sonam then accused him of bad manners, and he asked her to mind her tone. She replied with “Poonch mat bano”, a jibe that tells someone not to trail behind others.
The friction had a longer history. Sonam had nominated Manish in the previous episode, so the two were already on edge. In a game built on power and nominations, that kind of move rarely goes unnoticed. A tense basement can turn a small remark into a big problem quickly, and this exchange followed that pattern.
Sonam is an actress with over 90,000 followers on Instagram. She entered in episode 17 as a wildcard and started in the basement, which already held Manish and several strong personalities. Her arrival came at almost the same time as Tej Pratap Yadav’s voluntary exit, so the house was still adjusting. Wildcards usually arrive with no history in the house, which can make them bolder than the others.
Manish Kashyap storms out of the set
Manish Kashyap hit back with the line “I have come here to earn respect, not lose it.” He said he was done. Before going, he pulled off his microphone and tossed it up. He then kicked the storeroom door on his way out of the Rise and Fall 2 set.
Inside the basement, opinions split quickly. Gautam Gulati reportedly linked the outburst to Manish’s pride, since a woman had challenged him. Priyanka disagreed and said few people could stay calm after such a remark. Meanwhile, Sonam found support from Gautam and Kajal Raghwani, who tried to calm her. The reactions showed how differently the housemates read the same incident.
A clip of the scene has since gone around online, and viewers have reacted strongly to it. In a format that runs on alliances and votes, walking out is a risky move. It can cost a contestant support just as easily as it wins sympathy.
Why Manish Kashyap is still in the game
The walkout did not last. Manish came back soon after and owned up on camera, “I made a mistake. I should have controlled my anger.” He promised not to repeat it. That quick apology may have softened the fallout. Many viewers had wondered whether he had really quit, but the episode confirmed that he remains a basement contestant.
Host Virender Sehwag used the Weekend Power Play to cool things down. He questioned the habit of turning small spats into big fights and urged the contestants to keep their language in check. Coming from a former cricketer used to heated contests, the advice carried some weight. His words seemed aimed at everyone, not only at the two contestants involved.
That message may be tested soon. The advice is simple, yet the format keeps pushing contestants towards conflict. Rivalries are still running hot, and the wildcards have only added fuel. Viewers of Rise and Fall 2 will now watch whether Manish Kashyap can keep his temper in check when the next argument arrives.
