This is what Sehwag said
Sehwag's role as the host of Rise and Fall Season 2 brings an interesting twist to the show.

About 'Rise and Fall' S02
The second season of Rise and Fall follows the debut season's theme of contrasting those at the top and bottom of the power structure.
The show features 15 celebrity contestants divided into two groups - the Rulers, who live in relative luxury, and the Workers, who are stationed in a basement.
Contestants can move between these two worlds as the game progresses, with their positions determined by decisions, alliances, and strategy.
