Walking out with the trophy in one hand and his wife Neha Swami’s hand in the other, Arjun was all smiles as he posed for the paparazzi. But the moment wasn’t just about victory—it was personal. “In 21 years, it’s the first time I missed my wife’s birthday because I was here,” Arjun shared emotionally. “So winning the show… it couldn’t be a better gift to her. Congratulations, baby!” he said, before embracing her tightly. Who said reality TV can’t have a fairytale moment?
Hosted by the ever-blunt Ashneer Grover, Rise and Fall quickly became a hit thanks to its unique format: Rulers living the high life in a lavish penthouse, and Workers grinding it out in a grim basement to earn the right to rise up—literally. Arjun, who started humbly and consistently played with heart and strategy, proved that resilience and authenticity still win in a game full of power plays.
Finalists Dhanashree Verma, Arbaaz Patel, Nayandeep Rakshit, Aarush Bhola, and Akriti Negi put up a solid fight, making the competition fierce till the very end. While the official prize money hasn’t been confirmed, reports suggest Arjun bagged a handsome ₹30 lakh along with the winner’s title. Not a bad payday for weeks of basement chores, emotional breakdowns, and mental warfare.
As fans bid farewell to Season 1, speculation is already swirling about a second season. Will the power dynamics return even more cutthroat? Will we see new faces or returning champions? For now, though, the crown rests with Arjun Bijlani—a ruler who earned every inch of his rise.
