Key Highlights from Rise and Fall Episode 4 (September 9, 2025)
- Rulers vs. Workers Tension: The episode focused on Rulers, led by TV star Arjun Bijlani, relaxing in the Penthouse while plotting to stay in power. Bijlani, a carryover Ruler, pushed for a “safe” elimination to protect his position, but cracks showed in their unity. In the Basement, Workers like comedian Kiku Sharda and influencer Nayandeep Rakshit tackled a tough midnight obstacle course with puzzles, earning ₹2.5 lakh for the prize pot—the season’s highest single-day contribution, bringing the total to ₹10.3 lakh. Sharda’s humor lightened the mood, but the Workers’ exhaustion fueled their frustration with the Rulers’ decisions.
- Emotional Confrontation: The “Throne Challenge,” a fiery debate, saw Workers question Rulers’ choices. Nayandeep Rakshit, a transwoman and Bigg Boss alum, boldly called out gender bias in the Rulers’ voting, accusing them, especially Bijlani, of sidelining “outsiders” like her based on identity rather than gameplay. Her heartfelt plea—“This game is about fairness, not labels”—struck a chord, forcing the Rulers to nominate one of their own for elimination. Bijlani defended his “instinct-based” choices but faced backlash. Social media buzzed with over 50K #RiseAndFall mentions, with actress Debina Bonnerjee, a fellow contestant, praising Rakshit’s courage online, sparking talks on inclusivity.
- Twist and Elimination: Host Ashneer Grover dropped a surprise—a secret “Saboteur” vote from the Basement that could override a Ruler’s decision. This led to the elimination of digital creator Bali, whose quirky charm couldn’t save him, marking the season’s second major shake-up. Kiku Sharda rose to the Penthouse, replacing Bali and shifting alliances, while Rakshit stayed in the Basement but won huge fan support, setting her up as a future threat. Grover’s sharp comments on “backstabbing like in offices” kept the episode intense.
- Standout Players and Alliances: Bijlani’s smart gameplay showed weaknesses under pressure. Dhanashree Verma (dancer-influencer and Yuzvendra Chahal’s ex-wife) and Kubbra Sait (Sacred Games actress) quietly formed a women’s alliance, hinting at big moves ahead. Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh impressed with his stamina in a side task, earning respect from Workers. Grover’s hosting, though less fiery than his Shark Tank days, kept the pace tight with blunt remarks.
Fan Reactions for Episode 4
Building on Episode 3’s clash (September 8, 2025) between Bijlani and Arbaz Patel over task cheating, Episode 4 deepened the show’s focus on privilege and fairness. Fans loved Rakshit’s stand, with #RiseAndFall trending, but debated if the format favors “safe” players like Bijlani. Critics call the show raw and engaging but note similarities to Bigg Boss. With 42 days left and players like Aditya Narayan and trans cricketer Aarush Bhola still in the game, more twists await.
