Siwet Tomar has been evicted from Rise and Fall Season 2 after a physical altercation with Shehzad Poonawalla. He denies attacking from behind, claiming he was provoked and confronted Shehzad face-to-face, holding him by the collar.
Siwet Tomar Explains His Side of the Story
In a video statement shared on Instagram, Siwet addressed the allegations surrounding the incident and explained his version of events. He said that he was already walking towards Shehzad when the latter turned around, leading to a face-to-face confrontation. Denying claims that he had attacked Shehzad from behind, Siwet said, “Several people told me that I hit him from behind. But the truth is, he turned around as I was walking towards him. If you look at the next cut, we are face-to-face and I am holding him by the collar. I then had about five seconds with him when nobody else was around. If I had wanted to hit him, I would have thrashed him right there.”

I have said it once, and I’ll say it clearly: I will not play with or engage with someone who has wronged me until there is a sincere apology. That isn’t ego; that’s my boundary. And when I give my word, I stand by it,” he wrote.

Even if I have to stand alone, I’ll stand my ground. Because for me, a word is a word. The earth belongs to the brave,” he added.
