Shehzad Poonawalla has won Rise and Fall Season 2, taking home the trophy and Rs 35 lakh in prize money. The former political spokesperson, who stepped away from active politics to explore new opportunities, credits the media fraternity for much of his journey. In an exclusive conversation, Shehzad dismissed allegations of vote manipulation and spoke about what lies ahead for him. Former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav questioned the result, alleging that votes were stolen and claiming that actor Gautam Gulati was the rightful winner. Shehzad, however, maintains that the voting process was transparent and directly involved the contestants.
