“Rise And Fall 2” kicked off on Sept. 26, with episodes streaming on Amazon MX Player and Prime Video. Featuring 15 to 18 contestants divided into Rulers (Penthouse) and Workers (Basement) with a “Paise Aur Power Ki Jung” theme, the show came to an end after its 6-week run. 

Emerging as the winner of “Rise and Fall” season 2, Shehzad Poonawalla shared, “Winning Rise and Fall Season 2 is a feeling I can’t put into words. This journey wasn’t easy — from the highs of the Tower to the uncertainty of the Basement, I had to constantly adapt and push through, even when things weren’t going my way. There were moments of doubt, but deep down, I always believed I could make it. Standing here with the trophy, that belief has become reality. This victory is proof of what determination and resilience can do.” 

Shehzad competed with other contestants, including Gautam Gulati, Swara Bhasker, Karan Patel, Niharika Tiwari, Siwet Tomar, Kaira Anu, Sara Gurpal, Irina Rudakova, Tej Pratap Yadav, Kajal Raghwani, Raj Grover, Anish Bhagat, and Manish Kashyap.
