Sehwag's kids feared Rise and Fall 2 would hurt image, but he wanted new
Virender Sehwag is known for his fearless approach to cricket, but his latest career move reportedly left his Gen Z children less than convinced. The former India cricketer has stepped into a new role as the host of the reality show Rise And Fall Season 2, marking his first stint as a reality show host. In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Sehwag revealed that his sons, Aryavir and Vedant, questioned his decision to take up the show because they were concerned about the arguments and confrontations that are part of reality television. They feared the format could affect their father's public image and expose him to viewer criticism. “They were upset, they said, ‘Papa, why are you doing this?’ Because these shows will have fights and arguments. What will you do there? Your image will be spoiled. People will abuse you,” Sehwag recalled.
