The Remark That Set Off a Storm
The explosive moment unfolded during a celebratory gathering following the completion of the Top 6. Gautam chose to seat himself apart from Priyanka and fellow contestant Niharika Tiwari, openly expressing his refusal to share space with them.
Speaking to co-contestant Swara Bhasker, Gautam said, 'I can't sit with people who have given me trauma... mere ko inki na shakal Jeevan mein dekhni hai na iss show ke baad dekhni hai..' The remark crystallised weeks of mounting tension between the two camps inside the house.
Rivalry Spills Into the Final Challenge
The hostility was not confined to the celebration. Earlier in the same episode, the bad blood between Gautam and Niharika boiled over during the final Rise challenge, which saw Niharika Tiwari, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, and Sonam Malik compete for the two remaining places in the Top 6. Karan Patel served as scorekeeper as the trio battled for a coveted spot in the Penthouse.
During the challenge, Niharika asserted that her group would not resort to cheating, prompting Gautam to challenge her claim. Niharika fired back: 'Tum toh bolo hi mat, tum sabse bade cheater ho yahan pe.' Gautam dismissed the entire exchange as 'Fake content', refusing to engage further.
Top 6 Takes Shape for the Finale
The challenge ultimately ended with Niharika and Priyanka claiming the two remaining spots, while Sonam Malik's journey on the show came to an end. The season's Top 6 now comprises Swara Bhasker, Gautam Gulati, and Karan Patel — all of whom secured their places as Rulers — alongside Shehzad Poonawalla, who had already locked in his finale berth, plus the newly qualified Niharika and Priyanka.
This season of Rise and Fall is hosted by former India cricket opener Virendra Sehwag. With the finale now in sight, the unresolved animosity between Gautam's camp and Priyanka's faction promises to keep tensions running high until the very last episode.
