Reality shows can be lonely places, especially when rivalries heat up. For Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, support arrived from an unexpected and powerful corner on ‘Rise and Fall’ Season 2. Producer Ekta Kapoor sent her a message of praise that left the actress visibly emotional, at a time when clashes with fellow contestants had made the atmosphere inside the Tower tense.

‘Kya Achha Khel Rahi Ho’

Ekta said she had been following Priyanka’s journey and liked how she handled different situations. “Main tumhe ‘Rise and Fall’ mein dekh rahi hoon, and I want to say, kya achha khel rahi ho tum. Tum kabhi-kabhi calm aur composed hoti ho aur kabhi-kabhi tum unhe apni asli jagah dikha deti ho,” she said. (I have been watching you on ‘Rise and Fall’, and I want to say that you are playing so well. Sometimes you are calm and composed, and at other times, you show people their place.)

Turning an Insult Into a Compliment

The most talked-about part of the message was Ekta’s take on the ‘naagin’ tag linked to Priyanka. Instead of dismissing it, she turned it around. “Sabse achhi baat, agar koi tumhe naagin kahe, toh unhe yeh baat yaad ho ke naagin ka dassa paani bhi nahi maangta, and tum sirf bure logon ko dasti ho. So play on and win,” she said. (The best part is that if someone calls you a ‘naagin’, they should remember that a snake’s bite is so deadly that the person bitten cannot even ask for water. And you only bite bad people. So, keep playing and win.)
