In a post-win interview with Hindustan Times, Arjun Bijlani said, “Rise & Fall proved that every fall is just a step towards rising stronger. This journey was anything but easy — each day brought a new challenge, a new lesson, and a new reason to keep going. The twists, the tension, the friendships, and the rivalries tested me in ways I never imagined. Winning feels surreal."
He added, "I want to thank each player who's been a part of Rise & Fall. Thank you, thank you so much, and a special thanks to Aarush and Arbaaz, who both took my name to be the winner. I think without them, this wouldn't have been possible so thank you. I'll always remember this and each player, whether I've fought with them or laughed with them; they were all a part of my journey. They made my journey beautiful, and each one of them is responsible for me being the winner here today. So, thank you, Rulers, and thank you, Workers.”
Rise and Fall brought together 15 celebrity contestants from varied backgrounds, thrusting them into the Tower's unpredictable world where power dynamics shifted dramatically. The show revolved around the battle between the Rulers and Workers. Hosted by Ashneer Grover, the show is available to stream on Amazon MX Player.
