The list of contestants on Rise & Fall is growing stronger with Bhojpuri actor
Pawan Singh and wrestler Sangeeta Phogat joining the reality show.
Pawan Singh has been in the spotlight for controversial reasons. He is currently facing legal action in a fraud case worth ₹1.57 crore registered in Varanasi, apart from the controversy surrounding Haryanvi actress Anjali Raghav. Recently, a video from a cultural programme went viral in which Singh was seen placing his hand on Raghav’s waist and making an inappropriate remark, leaving the actress visibly uncomfortable and drawing widespread criticism. Despite the controversies, his entry is expected to bring dramatic twists to the show, given his popularity and outspoken nature.
Sangeeta Phogat, who hails from the renowned Phogat family of wrestlers, is known for her achievements on the wrestling mat and as the wife of Olympic medalist Bajrang Punia. Her entry into the show adds a sporting edge to the line-up. Coming from a family that inspired the film Dangal, Sangeeta is expected to bring discipline, determination, and resilience to the game, making her an interesting contender to watch.
Along with Pawan and Sangeeta, other celebrities in the house include Arjun Bijlani,
Kiku Sharda, Aahana Kumra, Kubbra Sait, Aditya Narayan, Dhanashree Verma and Roadies season 19 fame Akriti Negi, among others. The contestants are already inside the house, and the show will stream on Amazon MX Player from September 6.
