Aarush–Ashneer Clash, Kajol–Twinkle’s Sass, and Shocking Double Elimination Shake Up Rise and Fall

Mumbai: The latest episode of Rise and Fall brought an explosive mix of comedy, conflict, and unexpected exits—proving once again that the Tower is anything but predictable. The episode opened on a humorous note as Kiku Sharda, in his comic avatar “Mota-Don”, had contestants in splits. The energy escalated when Prime Video’s Two Much hosts, Kajol and Twinkle Khanna, joined in with their trademark sass.

Kajol greeted the contestants saying, “Desh ke new national obsessions, Rise and Fall ke superstars ko ek big big hello,” while Twinkle quipped, “It’s like discussing you all is a new social currency!” But light-hearted banter turned tense when Dhanashree felt targeted over her game strategy, and even Kiku’s performance was questioned. Kajol tried to smooth things over, adding, “You bring a different flavour,” as Twinkle signed off with, “All the best and keep rocking.”

Tensions peaked during the Janta Questions segment when Aarush and Ashneer Grover got into a fiery war of words. Ashneer called out Aarush for making contradicting statements, to which Aarush retaliated, “I won’t take this from anyone—not even you.” Ashneer shot back, “Then why are you here? Just leave.” Aarush responded furiously, “Fine, open the gate—I’m walking out.” Ashneer ultimately stormed out, leaving the Tower in shock.

As if that wasn’t enough, the Janta Votes brought more twists. Arjun and Akriti were declared safe, leaving Aahana Kumra and Anaya Bangar at risk. In a shocking double elimination, both were sent home, leaving the contestants reeling. This week, the Tower is divided into Workers and Rulers.
Workers: Bali, Arjun Bijlani, Aarush Bhola, Arbaz Patel, Akriti Negi
Rulers: Dhanashree Verma, Aaditya Narayan, Kiku Sharda, Kubbra Sait, Nayandeep Rakshit
