Episode 11 of Rise and Fall turned unexpectedly emotional when host and ultimate ruler Arbaaz Khan was reduced to tears during a crucial task. The format required Arbaaz to choose between three contestants — Kiku Sharda, Akriti, and Anaya — each of whom had to present their case to him for being elevated in the game.
While the interaction began as routine, things took a sharp turn when Kiku Sharda addressed Arbaaz directly, claiming, “Aapke andar ghamand aa gaya hai ki aap show chala rahe ho.” The statement visibly shook Arbaaz, who initially maintained composure but later broke down in tears.
The moment stunned the contestants, who had earlier showcased their reasons to be chosen by Arbaaz. The vulnerability shown by the host stood out in an episode otherwise dominated by strategy and competition.
The incident is now widely circulating among fans of the show, sparking conversations about the intense pressures faced by those leading such reality formats.
