Nayandeep Rakshit Confronts “Bullying” on Rise and Fall; Arbaz Patel Questioned Over Fan Comments

Ever wonder what happens when reality show contestants finally see what you’re saying about them online? Well, on Rise and Fall, they just found out. And it got intense, fast.

With just one week left until the grand finale, the show dropped a bombshell called the ‘Powerplay Weekend’. The whole point was to make the contestants confront fan opinions about their gameplay, their alliances, and even their personal lives. Host Ashneer Grover even entered the Tower to watch the drama unfold firsthand.

When Fun Becomes Mocking

Things got real for Nayandeep Rakshit. He had to face a fan comment questioning his numerous relationships inside the house. You could see it hit him hard.

He didn’t hold back, explaining that comments like that were “pulling him down.” Nayandeep said that conversations in the house often steered toward his “orientation,” making him a target. It was a raw, honest moment that hushed the room.

Seeing his reaction, host Ashneer Grover cut straight to the chase and asked Nayandeep point-blank if he felt “bullied.” That’s when Nayandeep drew a very clear line. He emphasized the massive difference between just “making fun” of someone and actually mocking someone for who they are. It was a powerful statement that clearly resonated with at least one other housemate, as Aarush Bhola immediately understood who Nayandeep was indirectly referring to.

Arbaz in the Hot Seat

But Nayandeep wasn’t the only one feeling the heat. Arbaz Patel also had to read a tough comment from a viewer, and it put him on the spot completely.

The fan asked a simple but loaded question: why didn’t Arbaz defend Dhanashree? Specifically, why did he stay silent when Nikki allegedly called Dhanashree the “most hated contestant outside” the show? Talk about an awkward moment.

This question put Arbaz’s loyalties and his courage under a microscope for everyone to see. In a game where alliances mean everything, being called out for not backing up a friend is a huge deal. Especially when the finale is right around the corner.

Look, the ‘Powerplay Weekend’ was supposed to be a mix of tension and fun, but it definitely delivered more on the tension. It forced contestants to face the music and answer for their actions. So, what do you think? Did the fan comments cross a line, or is this just part of the game?
