Episode 14 of Rise and Fall turned dramatic when Bhojpuri singer-actor Pawan Singh and entertainment journalist Nayandeep Rakshit clashed over gender-related remarks.

The exchange began when Pawan teased Nayandeep, switching between “aaogi nahi” and “aaoge”, before adding, “tum hi bolte ho na girly ho bachpan se.” Annoyed by the comment, Nayandeep shot back, “Iska matlab yeh nahi mein ladki hoon. Aapko samajhna chahiye kab mereko achha nahi lag raha h.”

Earlier too, Pawan Singh had created a stir on the show with similar banter. In a light-hearted yet contentious moment, he quipped, “Khub sundar agar clean kar diya jaye tumko, aur saree pahan lo.” Nayandeep objected immediately, making it clear he wasn’t comfortable. Pawan, however, continued the tease, saying, “Nayan pe kajal laga ke…”—prompting Nayandeep to reply sharply, “Bilkul bhi nahi, mujhe ladki banane ka shaukh nahi hai.” Pawan didn’t stop there and cheekily added, “Aur ek bindi ynha laga de.”

While the remarks sparked friction, the duo eventually laughed it off, easing the tension in the house. Still, the incidents have added to the ongoing drama, ensuring Pawan and Nayandeep remain at the center of conversations both inside and outside the show.
