Actor Swara Bhasker found herself at the centre of controversy after content creator Rishabh Jaiswal’s girlfriend, influencer Shreya Karla, advised her to be less diplomatic and focus on her own game. The interaction took place during the family Week on Rise & Fall Season 2, which brought emotional reunions, candid advice, and fresh conflict inside the Tower.
Swara initially thanked Shreya for her feedback but later criticised content creators and reality stars for lecturing her about diplomacy. Elsewhere, Irina and Shehzad’s rivalry intensified, while visits and messages from loved ones prompted contestants to confront difficult questions about their conduct and strategy.
During her visit to the Tower, Shreya told Swara to be less diplomatic and play for herself. Swara replied that she was comfortable with her approach and was not interested in building a career through reality shows.
“Shreya, respectfully, I am who I am. My world is not the world of reality shows. I am actually not interested in building a career through these kinds of shows,” Swara told her.
Swara thanked Shreya for the feedback and did not prolong the conversation. However, after Shreya walked away, the actor expressed her frustration over the advice.
“I have ruined my career by taking a stand for things that matter, instead of endorsing every Tom, Dick and Harry who pays you money. Please, I do not need lectures from content creators or reality stars,” Swara said.
She added that she was prepared to confront people directly and questioned why anyone was trying to teach her about diplomacy.
Shreya warns Rishabh about trusting the Workers
Shreya also had some firm advice for Rishabh. While expressing her affection for him, she urged him to stop forgiving everyone so easily and become more assertive in the game. She also warned him against blindly trusting the Workers.
The conversation became tense when Shehzad repeatedly interrupted Shreya. Rishabh objected to Shehzad’s behaviour towards his family and made it clear that he would not tolerate what he saw as disrespect.
Shreya also ranked the Rulers. She placed Niharika first, followed by Jashwanth, Rishabh, Priyanka, Manish and Sonam.
Irina and Shehzad’s rivalry escalates
As Swara made her position clear, the rivalry between Irina and Shehzad continued. Their argument escalated when Irina threw water on Shehzad, adding another confrontation to their ongoing clashes.
Irina also faced an emotional moment during Family Week. Although her friend visited the show, she was unable to meet her mother. An unexpected video message from her mother later lifted her spirits and left her feeling re-energised.
