Season 2 of the reality show Rise and Fall premiered on Saturday. Swara Bhasker , who is one of the contestants on the show hosted by Virender Sehwag, countered trolls in her own style. She stole attention in a purple saree with ‘moti’ (fat) embroidered on the blouse. Explaining why she wore it, she spoke about being shamed for her postpartum weight for three years now.
New episodes drop every day at 12 PM. Swara proudly flaunted her ‘moti’ blouse on the show and explained what she faced for three years to Sehwag, saying, “Meri beti teen saal ki hai. Aur teen saal se mujhe itna logon ne…ajnabiyon ne, jinko mai bilkul nahi janti, social media pe, yahan wahan. (My daughter is three years old now. For three years now, strangers who I don’t know have trolled me on social media and elsewhere). Explaining the names he has been called for her postpartum weight, she added, “Moti hogayi hai, bhains hogayi hai, gai hogayi hai, hippo hogayi hai, haathi hogayi hai. Maine kaha mai sab hogayi hoon. Ab mai aapke in saare terminology ko accept karke own karti hoon. (She has become fat, she looks like a buffalo, cow, hippo, elephant. I accept your terminology and own it now). Rise and Fall can be streamed on Prime Video and the MX Player.
