What happened between Siwet Tomar and Shehzad Poonawalla?
The clash happened during the third episode of Rise and Fall 2. The contestants were assigned a task named the Ultimate Ruler race. The contestants had to decide who would hold the most power in the Tower and remain safe from the week’s Fall.
Before the race began, the Rulers had to identify the weakest decision-maker. While several contestants named Siwet, Karan Patel picked Shehzad.
Siwet was removed from the race. However, he got one final opportunity to name a Ruler he considered weak. He chose Shehzad.
Later, Siwet was seen talking to Swara Bhasker, which caught Shehzad’s attention because Siwet had earlier said that he would not speak to the actress.
When Shehzad questioned, it led to an altercation between them.
The situation turned murkier when the argument turned physical. Siwet grabbed Shehzad by the neck and thrashed him. Shehzad showed his injuries and torn clothes on camera.
Before the fight began, Poonawalla could be heard referring to a tattoo of Siwet and saying that despite getting the tattoo, he was siding with Swara, who is considered leftist. Among his tattoos, Siwet has a tattoo on his left arm that appears to be a Trishul.
As physical violence is prohibited inside the Tower, Siwet was ousted from Rise and Fall 2.

What Siwet Tomar said about the incident?
Sharing a clip of their fight on his Instagram handle, Tomar wrote, "So if you think you can mislead people and I’ll simply walk away, you clearly don’t know me."
"I have said it once, and I’ll say it clearly: I will not play with or engage with someone who has wronged me until there is a sincere apology. That isn’t ego — that’s my boundary. And when I give my word, I stand by it," he added.
