Rise and Fall Season 2: Tej’s Choice Intensifies Tower Tensions
In episode seven, the contestants had to decide who might be eliminated.
Tej Pratap Yadav first chose Sara Gurpal but later changed his choice to Kajal Raghwani.
Kajal became upset because she had helped Tej become the top ruler.
Four contestants ended up in danger: Manish, Kaira, Kajal and Anish.
Sara’s decision also helped put Manish at risk.
Meanwhile, Priyanka and Shehzad argued again in the Penthouse.
Tej and Shehzad walked away from the argument, while Swara tried to calm everyone down.
Tej later tested Gautam, Niharika and Sara by asking them to impress him.
The episode showed that friendships and alliances in the Tower were becoming less stable.
Tej Pratap Yadav switched his nomination choice from Sara Gurpal to Kajal Raghwani.
Manish Kashyap, Kaira Anu, Kajal Raghwani and Anish Bhagat entered the danger zone.
Sara Gurpal’s decision placed Manish Kashyap in the nomination zone.
Priyanka Chahar Choudhary and Shehzad Poonawalla reignited their “manchild” versus “gold digger” dispute.
