It is just the start, and Rise and Fall is already living up to its name. Along with drama and twists, the second episode also witnessed raw, unfiltered stories that hit straight to the heart. The episode turned into an emotional rollercoaster when both Noorin and Anaya Bangar bared their souls on national television.

Noorin, in a teary moment, spoke about her father, renowned writer Naeem Sha. She revealed how he silently battled illness, losing vision in one eye. “My dad na, vo bahut bimaar ho gaye the ek dafa, he lost his one eyesight… So ek dafa aise hua ki dad meri video bana rahe hai aur vo keh rahe hai mujhe yaha dikhra nahi. My dad has such amazing work, but unko kabhi vo pehchaan nahi mili.”

If that wasn’t moving enough, Anaya Bangar shared her powerful journey of transitioning, opening up about childhood struggles, lack of family acceptance, and fighting for trans athletes’ rights. “After transitioning, I didn’t have any rights to play. I am fighting for those rights. I feel trans sportsmen should go through tests to show there's no unfair advantage and they can be included in teams rather than having a separate team. My family yet hasn’t accepted me but maybe they will, with time.”

But the real twist came when she revealed the staggering cost of her surgery, ₹50 lakhs. That’s when Arjun Bijlani pledged ₹10 lakhs from his prize money if he wins the show, and Aarush followed by promising ₹5 lakhs from his winnings too, leaving everyone stunned by the outpouring of support.

From tears to generosity, Rise & Fall episode 2 packed more emotion than anyone expected. Episode 2 gave viewers the kind of reality TV that hits harder than any scripted drama, proving the show isn’t just drama, it’s real-life stories that stay with you long after the credits roll.
