YouTube Star Raj Grover Joins 'Rise and Fall' Season 2; Virender Sehwag to Host
Raj Grover, a YouTube star and content creator, is slated to make his reality television debut in the second season of 'Rise and Fall'. A production source confirmed Grover's participation, stating, “Social media influencer Raj Grover will be a part of the reality show Rise and Fall. This will mark his debut in the reality TV space. He has built a sizeable following through his content on social media, and it will be interesting to see how he adapts to the format and the dynamics of the show.” Grover is recognized for his short-form comedy and everyday-life content, having amassed a following on YouTube and other social media platforms. His YouTube channel currently has approximately 15.5 million subscribers, with his videos accumulating billions of views.
Contrary to speculation, Nehal Chudasama, who appeared on 'Bigg Boss 19', will not be featured in the upcoming season. Although she was in discussions with the producers, a deal was not finalized. The second season will include 15 celebrity contestants, divided into two groups: Rulers and Workers. Rulers will reside in a penthouse with enhanced privileges, while Workers will occupy a basement with restricted facilities. Contestants have the opportunity to transition between these groups based on their decisions, strategies, alliances, and gameplay.
The first season of 'Rise and Fall' premiered on September 6, 2025. It featured contestants from various fields, including Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh, TV actor Arjun Bijlani, Anaya Bangar, Sangeeta Phogat, Aditya Narayan, Dhanashree Verma, Kiku Sharda, Kubbra Sait, Aahana Kumra, and Manisha Rani, who was the second runner-up on 'Bigg Boss OTT 2'. Arjun Bijlani was the winner, with Aarush Bhola as the first runner-up and Arbaaz Patel as the second runner-up.
Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag will host the second season, marking his debut as a reality-show host and replacing Ashneer Grover. While the first look for the new season has been released, its streaming date has not yet been announced.
