With just weeks left for the finale of *Rise and Fall*, the high-stakes reality show hosted by Ashneer Grover is turning into raw emotions and sharp strategy. The latest episode, airing on Amazon MX Player and Sony Liv, witnessed heart-pounding drama as the nominations exposed cracks in the tower’s tenuous alliances, and the Workers and Rulers clash in a battle for survival and supremacy.

In a closely fought nomination round, Workers put Aakriti Negi, Aditya Narayan, and Nayandeep Rakshit in jeopardy, while Rulers targeted comedian Kiku Sharda for eviction—triggering a series of tense standoffs that tested loyalties in the divided mansion. As Arjun Bijlani’s reign as the Ultimate Ruler comes to an end, the race to crown his successor—who not only gains absolute power but also earns a direct ticket to the finals—has every contestant making plans for overtime. After the rulers block Aakriti, the basement workers stop Aditya and Arjun stops Kiku from moving forward, only Bali, Aarush Bhola and Nayandeep are left in the race to move forward.

The episode saw a heated argument between fitness influencer Aarush Bhola and content creator Nayandeep Rakshit, whose flirtatious banter turned into a fierce competition. Aarush’s taunt on Nayandeep’s nomination—”What will happen, nomination has happened. We have been here for 30 days, it doesn’t happen with one game”—got a sharp reply: “Yes, it is on your side, because you are needlessly troubling me without any reason.” Nayandeep, angry at the repeated taunts, said, “Hey, it is okay that you have been nominated, there is no need to come and tell me again and again that you will be eliminated.” Aarush made fun of Nayandeep’s task unconsciousness mantra and said, “In the second task, you became unconscious, you are not fit to do the task… Let’s see who is trying to get into good books by making relationships with 10 people.” Nayandeep replied fearlessly, “I am like this, I am like this outside too,” with a twang of Aarush: “I know you, that’s why you call methi churi.”

This war of words underpins the show’s core: a cruel divide between the luxury-loving rulers (Manisha Rani, Arjun Bijlani, Bali, Dhanashree Verma, Arbaaz Patel—who recently earned tickets to the finale) and the fledgling laborers (Aarush Bhola, Aditya Narayan, Kiku Sharda, Aakriti Negi, Nayandeep Rakshit). The family week offers a heart-warming twist with the surprise visit, but fails to ease the rising tension—showing that strategy is now outweighing emotions.

As alliances crumble and the Tower prepares for the next regime change, *Rise and Fall* proves it’s not just about rising high or falling low, but about overcoming chaos.
