Kaleshi Beer Chaos: Aditya Narayan Ignites Arbaaz Patel Feud as ‘Rise and Fall’ Ratings Crash

Reality TV has always thrived on drama, but the latest developments on ‘Rise and Fall’ have pushed the boundaries, sparking a fiery confrontation that has fans buzzing. At the center of the storm? A “Kaleshi beer” challenge involving guest stars Tamannaah Bhatia and Diana Penty, and a pivotal choice by singer-host Aditya Narayan that lit the fuse.

The incident saw Aditya Narayan explicitly naming fellow contestants Arbaaz Patel and Dhanashree Verma while mixing his Kaleshi beer. This seemingly innocent act quickly escalated into a heated exchange, with Arbaaz Patel vehemently accusing Narayan of manufacturing drama and displaying immaturity. But what truly fuels this ongoing tension, and how has it impacted the already struggling show?

What Sparked the Drama?

• The Kaleshi Beer Confrontation: During a task designed to create intrigue, Aditya Narayan’s choice to combine bottles representing Arbaaz Patel and Dhanashree Verma sparked an immediate and intense reaction from Arbaaz. He lashed out, calling Narayan’s move “drama” and questioning his maturity, setting the stage for one of the season’s most memorable clashes.

• Arbaaz’s Shifting Fortunes: Arbaaz Patel’s journey on ‘Rise and Fall’ has been a rollercoaster. Initially holding power as a Ruler in the luxurious penthouse, he was later demoted to the Workers group in the basement. This shift, coupled with his strong personality, has made him a consistent point of contention.

Arbaaz’s Controversial Reign & Relationships

Arbaaz Patel’s interactions within the ‘Rise and Fall’ house have been a constant source of discussion, often drawing criticism from both contestants and outside observers.

• The Dhanashree Verma Connection: Patel’s notably close bond with Dhanashree Verma has been a recurring theme. This closeness hasn’t gone unnoticed, with his girlfriend, Nikki Tamboli, posting cryptic social media messages widely interpreted as a response to his possessive behavior towards Verma.

• Game vs. Reality: Fellow contestant Arjun Bijlani confronted Arbaaz about his tendency to over-analyze every interaction through a game-centric lens. Bijlani suggested this approach often leads Arbaaz to misjudge genuine moments, further isolating him from housemates.

• Criticism from Co-Stars: Even veteran comedian Kiku Sharda weighed in, criticizing Arbaaz Patel for making arrogant decisions during his time as a Ruler. This collective feedback paints a picture of a contestant struggling to navigate the complex social dynamics of the show.

The Downfall of ‘Rise and Fall’?

Beyond the internal house drama, ‘Rise and Fall’ itself appears to be facing significant challenges in capturing audience attention.

• Plummeting Ratings: The show, which premiered on September 6, 2025, on Amazon MX Player and Sony Entertainment Television, experienced a dramatic drop in viewership. By September 25, 2025, it had crashed to the 39th position. Reports from September 26 highlighted this dramatic decline, citing factors like Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh’s early departure as a major blow.

• Constant Shuffles and Confrontations: The show’s timeline reveals a rapid succession of events, from Manisha Rani’s wild card entry and Kiku Sharda’s power to select a Ruler for the ‘Ultimate Fall,’ to Arbaaz Patel’s demotion and various arguments. While intended to create engagement, these constant shifts, combined with the underlying tension, might be contributing to viewer fatigue.

As Aditya Narayan and Arbaaz Patel’s feud continues to dominate headlines, and with the show’s ratings in freefall, the future of ‘Rise and Fall’ hangs in the balance. Will the escalating drama be enough to reverse its fortunes, or is this the beginning of the end for another reality TV experiment?
