Shehzad Poonawalla Asked Rise and Fall Makers to Spare Siwet
Shehzad Poonawalla and Siwet Tomar were contestants on a reality show.
They had a heated argument after Siwet was named for possible elimination.
The argument became physical, and Poonawalla’s kurta was torn.
Siwet was then removed from the show.
Poonawalla said he asked the producers to let Siwet stay because the show was important for Siwet’s livelihood.
Siwet later said he did not hit Poonawalla and that Poonawalla slipped when Siwet held his collar.
Siwet also said Poonawalla made comments about his religion and caste.
Poonawalla was discussing the incident while explaining his disagreement with Priyanka Chahar Choudhary.
Shehzad Poonawalla said he asked Rise and Fall makers not to evict Siwet Tomar after their physical altercation.
Poonawalla said he made the request while receiving treatment, arguing that the show was Siwet’s livelihood.
The altercation followed Poonawalla naming Siwet for elimination from the Ultimate Ruler race.
Siwet was evicted after the incident and later denied hitting Poonawalla, saying he grabbed his collar and caused him to slip.
Siwet alleged that Poonawalla provoked him with comments about his religion and caste, while Poonawalla said he was unfairly made to apologise.

Quotes
Shehzad Poonawalla
Former BJP spokesperson and Rise and Fall season 2 contestant
“When I got beaten and I went out, in two hours of that while taking treatment, I told the makers, ‘Don’t send him out, keep him. Forgive him’. You know why I said so? Because that boy is 29-30 years old. This is his bread and butter. It’s not my bread and butter. So when I can forgive Siwet, you think I can’t apologise to Priyanka?”
