Family members of the contestants were brought in and, in a surprise twist, were asked to rank the players in the latest episode of Rise and Fall Season 2.
Gautam Gulati may have finally claimed the title of Ultimate Ruler, but Shehzad seemed to have a different version of events, revealing how Gautam’s win came together and putting the spotlight on the moves that led him to the throne.
While Gautam basked in his reign, Karan Patel was battling a crisis of his own. Having only just re-entered the Tower, his back trouble left him struggling to cope, with the pressure pushing him to the edge.
“I just want to get out of this place, I’m suffocated, I’m dead, I’m done,” he said, breaking down.
Meanwhile, in the Penthouse, Gautam and Sonam discussed the growing closeness between Jashwanth and Niharika. The latter insisted that she was here to play her game.
Then, the Lift suddenly announced the loved ones of the players would enter the Tower, but to meet them, the contestants must buy time, with the cost deducted straight from their prize pots. The Rulers and Workers had to decide among themselves how much they were willing to sacrifice for a reunion.
Priyanka Chahar Choudhary broke down after the arrival of her brother. She admitted that she felt cornered in the Tower. But the reunion soon took a confrontational turn when Shehzad greeted them with remarks that did not sit well. Priyanka’s brother was quick to remind Shehzad to maintain his dignity.
The next family member to enter the Tower was Niharika’s mother, and suddenly, she found herself overcome with emotion. Her mother encouraged her to play for herself and expressed pride in how far she has come. Soon after, Jashwanth’s father entered the Tower, greeting everyone and bringing a welcome dose of laughter to the tense atmosphere.
The family visit came with a twist of its own: the loved ones had to head to the lobby and rank the contestants, potentially changing the course of the game. Gautam, as Ultimate Ruler, was exempt from the rankings.
Priyanka’s brother placed Sonam sixth, Rishabh fifth, Jashwanth fourth, Priyanka third, Manish second and Niharika first.
While Niharika had her own preferences for the rankings, her mother had plans of her own. Rishabh landed sixth, Sonam fifth, Manish fourth, Niharika third, Jashwanth second, and Priyanka took the top spot.
Jaswanth’s father ranked Rishabh sixth, Priyanka fifth, Sonam fourth, Jashwanth third, Manish second and Niharika first.
Hosted by Virender Sehwag, Rise and Fall Season 2 streams daily on Prime Video, with new episodes dropping at 12 noon.
