Rise and Fall 2 has produced a first for the franchise. Gautam Gulati, as Ultimate Ruler, made a call that flipped the Tower for the second time this season. Because of it, the Workers now hold the Penthouse, while the former Rulers head to the Basement.
Nectar Dispute Shakes Rise and Fall 2 Tower
As reported by India Today, the trouble began with a task that ended in a row over the nectar count. Jashwanth Bopanna supervised the round, and the Rulers questioned his calls almost from the start. Soon, the argument outgrew the task itself, since every ruling seemed to favour one side.
The gap in numbers was stark. Jashwanth’s tally stopped at 48 after he ruled out 20 drops, while Shehzad Poonawalla stood firmly by 68. With neither willing to give way, the decision fell to Gautam.
Gautam sided with the figure of 68, which handed the task to the Workers. That single ruling gave Rise and Fall 2 a second Takhta Palat in one season. The show had never seen that before. Overall, a format built on shifting power has become even harder to predict.
Immunity Claims and Apologies After the Power Shift
Priyanka Chahar Choudhary was among the loudest voices, challenging Gautam over the immunity he held and the edge it gave him. In the heat of the moment, she told him, “You were riding high on your immunity!” Elsewhere, Swara Bhasker urged Karan Patel to get moving and drew a curt reply.
The mood stayed tense as others joined in. Gautam’s role as Ultimate Ruler drew most of the anger, because the Rulers felt he had leaned toward the Workers. At one point Karan spoke warmly of Jashwanth’s sporting ability, which Priyanka was quick to answer, and Niharika Tiwari soon added her voice. Immunity had already made Gautam a target, so any big call would be read through that lens.
Still, the aftermath was not entirely hostile. Manish Kashyap’s thanks to Gautam caught many in the Tower off guard. Karan also made peace with Niharika and Priyanka, telling them there was nothing personal, while Shehzad offered Gautam an apology. These gestures hint at a thaw, though in a game like this, peace rarely survives the next task.
What Comes Next in Rise and Fall 2
The power shift also changed the money on the table. Rise and Fall 2 has always tied cash to position, and this swing shows it clearly. The group that took the Penthouse saw its prize pot rise to Rs 22.4 lakh. The new Workers in the Basement now have Rs 12.55 lakh. That gap makes the Penthouse even more valuable and gives everyone fresh reasons to rethink strategy.
This was not the season’s first reversal. The Workers had already taken the Penthouse once before, after winning the Printing Press Challenge with 66 approved pamphlets. Gautam then won a hockey challenge and became Ultimate Ruler. His rise shows how fast fortunes change in Rise and Fall 2. Each swing leaves someone with something to prove.
Morning brought little calm. Among the Rulers, the talk was that Priyanka would regret taking part, while the new Workers began drawing up plans. Meanwhile, Shehzad and Gautam were mapping out ways to block Manish’s route to the Ultimate Ruler title. Hosted by Virender Sehwag, the 42-day season still has plenty of time for the balance to tip again. A different group now holds the Penthouse, and the race for Ultimate Ruler looks wide open.
