New Delhi:
Swara Bhaskar is currently a part of a reality show Rise and fall 2. He talked about an unfortunate incident that happened immediately after the success of Tanu Weds Manu, When a director made her feel uncomfortable by insisting on rehearsing a romantic scene.
“I said, ‘Who’s everybody for rehearsal?’ He said, ‘You and I, we will discuss.’ I said, ‘No. You call the actor, you call the camera person. If it’s a rehearsal, everyone should do it. Why should we do this alone?” Swara recalled.
She added, “I walked in and the director and the cinematographer had already finished half the bottle, and were both sitting and drinking.”
“I mean, can you imagine, why would a young woman, a girl in her 20s, rehearse between two drunk men? Or do a reading? I finished everything and I left. I kind of ran away from there,” Swara Bhaskar added.
It didn’t end there, as the filmmaker came to her room later that night, visibly drunk, and asked, “Can I have a hug?”

The show brings together 15 celebrities. Divided into two categories, workers and rulers, participants navigate rivalries, alliances and unexpected challenges in the basement and penthouse.
In the show, workers survive in a basement with limited resources while facing challenges and facing elimination. Their aim is to grow in stature and reach the penthouse to become the ruler.
Rulers control resources and make key decisions in the penthouse. Their goal is to avoid going back to the basement, where they risk being eliminated. Only one ruler can win the show.
An elevator connects the basement and the penthouse. The Red Room, where the rulers make big decisions, and the Factory, where the show’s biggest challenges take place, make up other important areas.
