The actor accused the former BJP spokesperson of trolling her for eight years during a confrontation on the reality show.

Actor Swara Bhasker confronted former BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla over his alleged history of online trolling during an episode of Rise & Fall Season 2. According to Outlook, the confrontation occurred as Bhasker questioned Poonawalla's game plan in the tower and his alliance with Gautam Gulati.

The argument escalated when Bhasker thanked Gulati for taking a tough stand, leading Poonawalla to claim credit for keeping her in the game. Bhasker responded by telling him to relax and stating that he had trolled her for eight years.

During the dispute, Poonawalla urged Bhasker to keep others out of their disagreement and mentioned her vote for Priyanka Chahar Choudhary. Bhasker responded by asking why she should listen to him.

The episode also featured host Virender Sehwag, who intervened when Poonawalla labelled Priyanka a 'vamp' during a debate. Sehwag demanded that Poonawalla withdraw the insult.

The reality show, produced by Banijay Asia, streams daily on Prime Video at 12 PM with Sehwag hosting.
