Sangeeta Phogat left the reality show "Rise and Fall" because of a family emergency—her father-in-law passed away on September 11, 2025. She received this heartbreaking news while still part of the competition, which caused her to break down in tears on camera and decide to leave the show immediately to be with her family. The grief and the need to support her loved ones took precedence over continuing in the show. Fellow contestants and viewers expressed sympathy and support for her during this difficult time. Sangeeta's departure was thus not related to the competition itself but was a deeply personal and emotional decision.
