Tensions reached a boiling point in the latest episode of Rise and Fall 2 as Manish Kashyap lost his cool amid a heated clash involving Sonam and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary. While the confrontation left the house shaken, Rishabh and Aarush Bhola took a step towards resolving their past differences.

Manish Kashyap loses his cool

If the nominations stirred up a storm, the fallout brought a full-blown shake-up to the Tower! Sonam and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary were at loggerheads yet again. The episode began with Sonam arguing with Priyanka and warning her not to interfere with her. Sonam said the Rulers did not want her in the Penthouse and that she would now leave the show. Priyanka then told Manish that he did not take a stand for her. Sonam confronted Manish and called him ill-mannered, prompting him to warn her against speaking to him that way. Sonam also said him, "Poonch mat bano (Do not be a tail)."

Manish found himself caught in the crossfire. But when the taunts turned into what he saw as disrespect, Manish snapped.

Declaring that he was there to earn respect, not be insulted, he lost his cool, smashed a door and stormed off, leaving the house stunned! With Sara, Kajal, Sonam and Gautam ganging up on Priyanka, the pressure kept mounting until she broke down. Manish returned to the show moments later and told the camera, "I made a mistake. I should have controlled my anger. I will not repeat the same mistake."

Aarush and Rishabh bury the hatchet

While some equations were falling apart, another old feud finally got a chance at closure. Rishabh and Aarush Bhola revisited their past differences, including the tensions involving Shreya, Rishabh's girlfriend, and Laila. What could have sparked another showdown instead ended with the two agreeing to let bygones be bygones.

For those unversed, Rishabh recently got into a heated verbal argument with Aarush and Varun (Laila) over personal comments made during Lock Upp. Aarush Bhola publicly criticised Shreya, accusing her of manufacturing drama and content for the show, and famously labelled Rishabh a "rental boyfriend".
