MUMBAI, India – Friday, September 26, 2025: Things got heated on the latest episode of Rise and Fall. Aarush vs Akriti: War of Words in the Basement unfolded after the Workers suffered a tough loss in the Price Pot Challenge, as Aarush Bhola and Akriti Negi went at it in a major way!
Price Pot Pressure Cooker: Workers Fail, Rulers Reign
So, what went down? The Rulers, being the masterminds they are, picked a seriously difficult task for the Workers: building a wall under chaotic conditions. The prize? A sweet ₹3 lakhs added to the pot. The penalty for losing? A brutal ₹5 lakh deduction. Ouch! Even though they gave it their all, the Workers couldn’t pull it off, meaning the Rulers are still living the high life in the Penthouse.
Basement Battle: Akriti vs. Aarush
The real fireworks started in the Basement. Akriti Negi didn’t hold back, accusing Aarush Bhola of not giving her a fair shot during the challenge. Aarush wasn’t having it, snapping back that she wouldn’t have done any better than him or Bali, especially since it was such a physical task.
Akriti fired back, saying that “strategy and presence of mind matter more than strength.” That’s when Aarush really went for the jugular, saying, “Dimag footage ke alawa hate to chale.” Ouch, right?
Things got even more personal when Aarush called Akriti “dogli,” which basically means two-faced. Talk about adding fuel to the fire! It’s safe to say the Workers are not a happy family right now.
Gender Roles Enter the Chat
The argument then took a turn when Bali and Arbaz Patel got involved. The blame game morphed into a larger debate about gender roles. Host Arjun Bijlani had to step in, urging everyone to chill out and avoid such a sensitive topic. He basically said, “Yeh bohot sensitive topic hai, ye mat uthao, baaki kisi aur chiz par continue rakho apna.” (Translation: “This is a very sensitive topic, don’t bring this up, continue with something else.”)
Workers Divided, Rulers Ruling
With all this infighting, the Workers are looking seriously divided. Meanwhile, the Rulers – Dhanashree Verma, Aaditya Narayan, Kiku Sharda, Kubbra Sait, and Nayandeep Rakshit – are living it up in the Penthouse, probably watching the drama unfold with popcorn in hand.
The current Workers are Bali, Aahana Kumra, Arjun Bijlani, Anaya Bangar, Aarush Bhola, Arbaz Patel, and Akriti Negi. With trust gone and tempers flaring, the Basement is a powder keg waiting to explode in the next episodes.
