New Delhi [India], October 30: Political commentator Tehseen Poonawalla has emerged as the biggest talking point of Rise & Fall Season 2 after his wild-card entry into the Tower, where his brother Shehzad Poonawalla is already a contestant.
Host Virender Sehwag set the stage with, “Aap ek Poonawalla ko jhel nahi paa rahe the, main do karne wala hoon.” Tehseen wasted no time, taking a dig at his brother: “Shehzad kabhi bhi chup nahi hota hai, mere aane se yeh silent ho gaya.” When told only one Poonawalla could win, he shot back, “Aur woh Poonawalla main hoon.”
As a panelist, Tehseen was excellent. Sharp, witty and fearless, his blunt verdicts on the Tower’s power games, including a pointed reminder to Priyanka Chahar Choudhary that not everything revolves around her, became the highlight of the episode. Within hours, clips of his remarks went viral across Instagram, X and YouTube.
The buzz comes at a time when Bigg Boss 20 is reportedly witnessing a sharp dip in viewership, with a section of fans attributing it to contestant Qazi Touqeer’s reduced screen time. Many viewers online say Tehseen’s entry has given Rise & Fall 2 exactly the kind of high-voltage drama Bigg Boss is missing this season.
No stranger to reality TV, Tehseen was earlier seen in Bigg Boss 13. After his entry, he wrote on social media, “Whoever wins, a Poonawalla will always Rise & no one, no one should Fall!”
