Who Siwet Tomar is

Siwet Tomar is a model from Dehradun who has spent the last four years inside competitive reality television, which is a different career from being an actor or an influencer and has its own rules. The work is to be cast, to survive a format, and to leave with enough of a story that the next format wants you. He has done that four times, on three channels and one streaming service, and the result is a public profile built almost entirely out of other people's shows.^[1][3]

The physical part of that profile is not accidental. He came into television from modelling and from the gym, he won a local pageant before he won anything on camera, and the shows have cast him for exactly that: a fit young man with a short temper and no reluctance about the camera. Roadies took him for the competition, Splitsvilla took him for the romance, and Rise and Fall took him for the conflict.^[1][4]

What he does not have, and what the coverage of him never claims, is a body of acting work. His screen credits are reality formats and one behind the scenes role. The distinction matters when the profiles describe him as an actor: he has been cast as himself, repeatedly, and that is a skill, but it is not the same one.^[3]

Dehradun, college and the Mr Dehradun title

He was born in Dehradun and grew up there, in a city that sits between the Uttarakhand hills and the Delhi plain and sends a steady stream of young people to both. He went to DAV Public School and then to Doon Valley Public School, and then to Government Degree College in Raipur, on the edge of the city, where he took a Bachelor of Commerce between 2016 and 2019.^[1][4]

The degree is worth mentioning because it dates the rest of his career. He was still an undergraduate when he won Mr Dehradun in 2018, which means the pageant, the ramp work and the first television audition all happened in the last two years of a commerce course. That is the ordinary shape of a modelling career in a tier two city: the local title comes first, the Delhi runway work follows, and television is the thing that turns a regional model into a name.^[1][3]

The ramp work after the title included Asian Designer Week and Couture Runway Week in Delhi, and campaign and print work for brands including Pacific Mall. None of it is famous. All of it is the standard apprenticeship, and it is what makes a 24 year old credible to a casting director who needs someone who can stand still in front of a camera.^[1]

Roadies 19 and the runner-up finish

His television debut was MTV Roadies: Karm Ya Kaand, the nineteenth season of the franchise, which ran through 2023. He was mentored by Prince Narula, a four time winner across the channel's formats, and he reached the final, where he finished as the first runner-up behind Vashu Jain, who was in Rhea Chakraborty's gang.^[1][5]

The result is the strongest of his career and it is the credit that every later profile leads with, including the ones written about the fight in 2026. Roadies is a format that rewards a specific temperament, physical courage plus an inability to let an argument go, and he had both. The season made him one of its most discussed contestants rather than its winner, which in the long run may have been the more useful outcome: the winner gets a trophy, and the contestant people argue about gets called back.^[1][3]

The relationship with Narula that began there is the thread that runs through the next three years. It became a mentorship, then a friendship that the fan accounts tracked, then a public falling out in 2026 that both of them discussed on social media. Few television relationships are followed that closely, and fewer still end that publicly.^[7]

Splitsvilla X5 and the romance format

In 2024 he moved to MTV Splitsvilla X5, a dating reality show built on a simple machine: contestants pair up, the pairs compete, and the audience watches the coupling and uncoupling as much as the tasks. He was paired with Shyrinn Anicka, and the pairing became the story of his season.^[1][3]

The format is less about romance than about negotiation, and his run had all of it. He was eliminated, brought back as a wildcard, and returned to confront Akriti Negi over what he described as a betrayal, a sequence that the Times of India reported at the time. In a later episode Akriti apologised to Shyrinn for the way she had treated him. It is a small, self contained drama that exists entirely inside a television show, and it is the reason his audience grew beyond the Roadies fan base.^[1]

The relationship with Shyrinn was part of the show rather than a confirmed off screen romance, and both of them have treated it that way since. It is worth saying plainly, because the biography sites blur the two and a reader who finds a fan edit online will not know where the format ends.^[1]

The Insider year

In 2025 he returned to Roadies for MTV Roadies: Double Cross, but not as a contestant. He was cast as the Insider, a role inside the production of the game rather than among the players, which is an unusual booking for a former runner-up and a sign of how the franchise valued him.^[3]

The job is harder than it sounds. A reality format depends on information moving at the right speed, and the person who controls a piece of it becomes a character without competing for a prize. He was on the screen for a season without a stake in the outcome, which kept him inside the franchise's audience for another year while other contestants fought for the title.^[3]

It also gave him the thing that television careers run on, which is continuity. A model who appeared on one season of Roadies in 2023 and disappeared would be a footnote. A model who is on Roadies in 2023, Splitsvilla in 2024, Roadies again in 2025 and two shows in 2026 is a working television personality, and the industry casts those people first when a new format needs a known face.^[3][1]

The 50 and the Prince Narula falling out

The 50 premiered on 1 February 2026 on JioHotstar and Colors, produced by Banijay Asia and built on the French format Les Cinquante. Fifty contestants live in a palace and compete for a prize of fifty lakh rupees over twenty six days, and the eliminations are by the contestants themselves rather than by a public vote, which makes alliances the whole game.^[7]

He was one of the fifty, in a cast that included Prince Narula, Karan Patel, Shiv Thakare, Mr Faisu, Ridhi Dogra, Urvashi Dholakia and Divya Agarwal. He left in an elimination round, and the way he left is the part that mattered: Narula, by his account, chose to save Shiv Thakare over him.^[7]

His response was public and immediate. He posted two videos from his last moments on the show and wrote that it had been the dumbest move available, that Narula had one priority and did not keep it. He unfollowed Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary, posted a cryptic note about betrayal, and the fan accounts spent the next month reading the follows and unfollows as diplomatic signals. According to News18 the two appeared to reconcile around late February, and by March he was saying publicly that there had been no reconciliation at all.^[7]

The episode is worth recording because it explains the mood he carried into Rise and Fall later that year. A contestant who has just spent a month watching an ally choose someone else is not arriving at the next show in a generous frame of mind, and the format he arrived at was built to find exactly that.^[7]

Rise and Fall 2: what happened

Rise and Fall Season 2 is a Prime Video format hosted by Virender Sehwag, in which a group of contestants is divided into rulers in a penthouse and workers in a basement, and each week the two groups trade places or fall. It began in September 2026, and he was out of it by the third episode.^[2][3]

The argument began in a task. Contestants in the penthouse were asked to name the person they thought could not become the ultimate ruler, and Siwet named Shehzad Poonawalla, the former BJP spokesperson and television panellist. Shehzad named Karan Patel. When the vote went back around, Shehzad objected that Siwet had changed his position on Swara Bhasker, whom he had been siding with, and the exchange became personal.^[2][4]

NDTV reported that Siwet then grabbed Shehzad by the neck and pushed him down, that Shehzad was left injured, and that his clothes were torn in the struggle. Footage of the incident circulated within hours. The Statesman, which reviewed the video, described Siwet pulling Shehzad from behind by the neck and pushing him down while Shehzad did not hit back. Physical violence is against the format's rules, and the makers removed him from the show on disciplinary grounds.^[2][4]

The aftermath had two parts. Swara Bhasker and Karan Patel both offered to walk out in protest at his removal, though whether they had actually been eliminated was left for the next episode. And Shehzad Poonawalla, the person at the receiving end, said publicly that he had asked the makers to keep Siwet in the house. The Times of India reported his position under the line that he did not want Siwet evicted. It is an unusual response from a man who had just been pushed to the floor on camera, and he explained it in terms of not wanting the show to be about the fight.^[6][2]

Siwet defended himself on Instagram within a day, posting the clip himself. His caption was about a tattoo on his arm, which he described as a symbol of his bloodline, and about not walking away from being misled. The tattoo is the detail that ties the argument to its origin: Shehzad had questioned the tattoo while asking why Siwet was siding with Swara Bhasker, and the fight grew out of that question.^[4][1]

After the exit

The immediate effect of the fight was to make him one of the most searched reality television names of the year. Bharat Fast reports that the hashtag BringBackSiwet reached the top of the trending list on X in India after the episode aired and that he shared a screenshot of it, thanking the fans who had posted. Fan campaigns of that kind rarely change a decision, but they do measure how much of the audience is on a contestant's side.^[1]

The longer effect is harder to read. A contestant removed for violence has a story that will follow him into every casting conversation, and the two versions of it, the one where he lost his temper and the one where he was provoked, are both in circulation. He has not given a long interview about it, and the Instagram caption remains the fullest statement he has made.^[4]

What has not changed is the format of his career. He is a working model and television personality from a city that produces a lot of both, with a runner-up finish, two franchise seasons, a dating show and a streaming format on his record inside four years. The next booking will depend on whether the industry reads the fight as a risk or as the thing that makes him worth casting, and that is a question no one has answered publicly.^[3][1]

What has not been confirmed

His date of birth is given as 3 July 1998 by NDTV, The Statesman and the biography sites, and the three agree, which is as close to settled as a date gets without a primary source. He has not published it himself, and the age that circulates is calculated from it.^[1][3]

His height has not been confirmed by him and is not published by any outlet that has interviewed him. Bharat Fast says so directly, and the numbers on the aggregator sites disagree with each other.^[1]

His family is only partly documented. The biography sites name two sisters, and no interview that this entry could find has him discussing his parents or his upbringing in detail. Those names are left out of the body of this entry because no reliable source other than an aggregator carries them.^[1]

His relationship status has not been confirmed. He is unmarried according to every profile, the Splitsvilla pairing with Shyrinn Anicka was part of the format, and there is no verified information about a partner since.^[1]

His fee for Rise and Fall 2, and for the shows before it, has not been disclosed by him or by the makers. The figures published during the seasons are trade estimates. His net worth is reported the same way: his income comes from modelling, campaigns, reality contracts and social media work, and no total has been confirmed.^[1]

The exact sequence inside the Rise and Fall argument is described differently by different outlets, and the only record is the broadcast footage. This entry follows NDTV and The Statesman on what the video showed, and attributes the rest to the people who said it.
