Rise & Fall 2: Shehzad-Swara rivalry takes a twist as he becomes her fitness coach

Swara Bhasker and Shehzad Poonawalla may not have been the most obvious pairing on Rise & Fall Season 2, but their equation appears to be taking an unexpectedly friendly turn. A recent viral video from the show showed Shehzad taking charge of Swara’s fitness routine, and the actor now appears to have developed quite an appreciation for his efforts.

In the video, Shehzad was seen encouraging Swara to complete her walking rounds, even as she tried to make the workout more entertaining. “It’s very boring, chal political discussion karte hain. Achha gossip toh de (Let’s have political discussions, or give me some gossip at least),” Swara told him.

Shehzad, however, was adamant in working towards her fitness. The playful exchange between the two offered a glimpse of a different side to their equation, with Shehzad seemingly taking an active interest in Swara’s health and making sure she stayed committed to her fitness routine. What began as him pushing her to walk soon turned into an unexpected fitness-coach moment.

And Swara clearly seems to have taken notice.

“Shehzad ne mere health mein bahut interest liya hai. Mujhe bahut achha laga. Shehzad bahut passionate hai fitness ko lekar (Shehzad has taken a lot of interest in my health. I felt really good about it. Shehzad is very passionate about fitness),” she said.From enemies to Shehzaad becoming Swara’s personal fitness coach WTF is happening in this house #RiseAndFall pic.twitter.com/ergPerhVKU— (@Frozen_pratik) October 3, 2026The 28-year-old actor even joked that fitness might be where Shehzad truly belongs. “Mujhe lagta hai ki woh rajneeti mein kaise bane, but mujhe lagta hai woh fitness coach bahut achhe banenge (I wonder how he got into politics; I feel he would make a really great fitness coach instead),” she added.

The comments come as their dynamic on Rise & Fall Season 2 appears to be evolving. While the two may have started out as contestants with their own equations and differences, Shehzad’s growing involvement in Swara’s fitness routine has brought a lighter, more supportive side to their relationship.

Earlier, things took a political turn on the show when Shehzad referred to Swara’s friends as the "Tukde" gang. The comment came just as the two, who usually sit on opposite sides of the political spectrum, seemed to be developing an unlikely friendship.

The exchange happened during a light-hearted moment when Swara advised Shehzad to take better care of his health. She told him to eat regular food rather than just obsessing over protein, pointing out that his body needed proper nutrition. Shehzad countered by saying he knows his own body well and has handled far more stressful situations in politics.

When he added that he would meet Swara after the show, she playfully joked that she would lock him in a room with all her leftist friends.
