Tej Pratap gets emotional as Lalu Yadav, Rabri Devi call him on Rise & Fall 2

Politician Tej Pratap Yadav turned emotional on Rise & Fall Season 2 after host Virender Sehwag surprised him with a video call from his parents, former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi. Their appearance became one of the most emotional moments of the latest episode, which otherwise moved between playful tasks and renewed tension inside the Tower.The episode saw light-hearted Bollywood-themed challenges alongside fresh friction between the Rulers and the Workers, as old grievances over decisions taken the previous week resurfaced. In the middle of that, Tej’s conversation with his parents briefly changed the mood before the arguments resumed.Sehwag introduced the special video call as Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi appeared on screen to greet their son and speak about his journey in the game. When Sehwag asked Lalu Prasad Yadav how Tej was playing, he said, "Bahut accha kar rahe hai... mora shubhkaamna" (Very well... my best wishes).The conversation then turned playful. When Sehwag asked Rabri Devi whether Tej also played the flute at home, she replied, "Yahan pe bahut sunata hai" (He makes us hear it a lot here). When Sehwag joked that Tej seemed to be having a lot of fun inside the Tower, Rabri Devi responded, "Toh wahin rakhiye" (Keep him there). The tone shifted when Sehwag mentioned that Tej had been missing his mother and asked whether his parents missed him too. Rabri Devi said, "Ji hum log bhi kar rhe hai baaki jahan gaya hai accha kar rha hai... sab duniya dekh raha hai.. sab log badhayi kar raha hai" (Yes, we are doing it too; and wherever he has gone, he is performing well... the whole world is watching... everyone is praising him).In another lighter exchange, Sehwag asked Tej whether he took after his mother or his father, and he replied, "Mummy." When asked if he was afraid of his father, Tej said, "Haan darr toh lagta hai" (Yes, I am afraid of him). The mood turned serious again when Tej asked his father, "Tabiyat theek hai na?" (Are you okay?) He then said, "Tabiyat theek nahi lag raha papa ka" (I do not feel he is doing well), before Lalu Prasad Yadav reassured him that he was fine. Tej was visibly emotional after that. Priyanka Chahar Choudhary also spoke about her admiration for Lalu Prasad Yadav, saying she watches his videos and enjoys his wit. When Sehwag later asked Tej how he felt about the video call, he described it as an "Adhboot surprise tha" (It was a very nice surprise).Rise & Fall Season 2, produced by Banijay Asia, is hosted by Virender Sehwag and streams on Prime Video.
