MUMBAI, India – October 16, 2025: The countdown to the Rise and Fall finale has begun, as the competition inches closer to revealing its ultimate winner. After more than 40 days of strategy, rivalries, alliances, and betrayals, today’s episode proves that no friendship is built to last in the tower of Rise and Fall. The game of strategy only gets sharper and bolder as the final ruler is revealed, while the remaining two workers pack their bags and bid farewell to the basement. The real battle for the finale begins!
With Aarush finally making his way into the penthouse after a long stint in the basement, the competition ahead is anything but easy. The tension between Nayandeep and Aarush continues to simmer after their explosive fallout, with Nayandeep choosing to distance himself. Stepping in to mediate, Arjun attempts to clear the air and understand Nayandeep’s side, asking, “Kya hua kya hai? What what? What are you going to do Nayan?”
Unwilling to engage, Nayandeep replies, “I’m not going to do anything.” Arjun, visibly irritated by his attitude, responds, “I am trying to have a conversation with you. Why are you giving this attitude?” After several attempts to draw him out, Nayandeep finally opens up, saying, “You are not supposed to be on somebody’s behalf.” When Arjun insists he isn’t apologising for anyone, Nayandeep counters, “You are! You are not realising it. Usne apse baat kia, usne apse toh kuch nahi bola na? Usne mujhe jo chiz boli thi…”
While Arjun tries to bridge the gap between the two, Dhanashree spills the tea to Arbaz about the situation, saying, “Full fight chal raha hai Arjun aur Nayan ka.” She adds, “Woh usko samjha raha hai ki Aarush agar tumse baat kar raha hai toh tum kyu nahi kar rahe ho.”
Eventually, Arjun manages to get the two to talk. Aarush asks Nayandeep if he’s happy to see him, to which Nayandeep replies, “Sachha answer chaiye toh haan khush hu.” As they revisit their issues, Aarush refuses to accept Nayandeep’s reasoning for feeling hurt. Recalling the harsh words directed at him by Bali, Nayandeep says, “Neech, chep, tujhpe koi thuke tak nahi bahar jayega toh.” Aarush defends his friend Bali and continues to disagree with Nayandeep.
Acting as the moderator, Arjun becomes the bridge for their tense exchange. Nayandeep explains that he had repeatedly asked Aarush to stop crossing the line with teasing that had turned personal, and when he finally reacted, Aarush was taken aback. Aarush, in turn, recalls saying, “Haan mein ne wahi baat toh same bola hain, ki agar yaha pe sab straight hai toh tera kya galat kiske dikh jayega.” The moment takes a sharp turn when the conversation touches on sexuality, prompting Nayandeep to lose his cool. He says he never wanted to have such a discussion and “insult” himself — and walks away.
The Jamnapaar Season 2 cast adds a light-hearted twist as they enter the tower with a special game, “Izzat aur Paisa,” giving the workers a chance to increase the prize pot. Ritvik Sahore and Srishti Ganguly Rindani introduce a fun challenge where Manisha Rani must praise Dhanashree and Nayandeep, leading her to call Nayandeep “Chalak, Paltu aur Nageen” and admit she wishes to be like him. Bali, meanwhile, dared to say, “Mein ek kaam chor worker hu!” three times, while Akriti faces the toughest task of praising Aarush, Arjun, and Dhanashree while performing a dance. All three complete their tasks successfully, adding ₹75,000 to the penthouse prize pot.
The episode not only highlights heated confrontations and games but also delivers an unexpected twist, the announcement of the “Basement ka ultimate shut down!” The rulers get one final opportunity to decide which worker deserves to rise and become a ruler, while the remaining two say their goodbyes. For the first time, rulers are barred from discussing or influencing each other’s decisions, while the workers must pitch why they deserve to ascend the tower. Akriti secures the highest votes, followed by Bali with two, while Manisha Rani receives none.
With the ultimate shutdown, Rise and Fall tower now stands with its top six finalists. Watch the finale of Rise and Fall for free, tomorrow on Amazon MX Player at 12 PM and on Sony Entertainment Television at 10:30 PM.
