The latest episode of Rise and Fall took a dramatic turn when Nikki Tamboli, girlfriend of contestant Arbaz Patel, made a surprise entry into the Tower. Her visit came right after a heated showdown between Arbaz and Aarush Bhola, whose rivalry has been the highlight of this week’s episodes.
During her brief appearance, Nikki was seen consoling Arbaz and cautioning him against further clashes with Aarush. Her exact words — “Usse pange mat lo” — immediately grabbed attention, adding another layer to the ongoing tension inside the Tower. The warning, delivered with a mix of concern and firmness, left both contestants and viewers stunned.
The timing of her entry couldn’t have been more dramatic. Earlier in the day, a promo showed Arbaz mocking Aarush, calling him a “chamcha,” to which Aarush shot back by reminding him of his quiet days as a Worker in the basement. Their argument quickly escalated, drawing reactions of frustration from other contestants including Dhanashree Verma, Kiku Sharda, and Aditya Narayan, who seemed visibly tired of their constant back-and-forth.
Meanwhile, fans on social media have taken sides — with many showing strong support for Aarush Bhola, who they believe has handled Arbaz’s taunts with maturity. One fan wrote, “Aarush for the win,” while another commented, “Nikki’s warning says it all — Arbaz needs to calm down.”
As the Workers’ team — including Aarush, Bali, Aditya, Kiku, Kubbra, and Nayandeep — continues to strategize against the Rulers’ team of Manisha, Arjun, Dhanashree, Arbaz, and Akriti, the power dynamics are shifting rapidly. With Nikki’s intervention now in play, all eyes are on whether Arbaz will take her advice or fuel the fire in his ongoing rivalry with Aarush.
