Speculation continues to swirl around the winner of Rise and Fall Season 1, as social media erupts with reports claiming that popular YouTuber Aarush Bhola has emerged as the winner of the show. While neither Prime Video nor the production team has officially confirmed the result, fan pages and entertainment handles have flooded timelines with congratulatory messages and celebratory edits.

Unverified reports and viral visuals

According to multiple online claims, Aarush Bhola clinched the top spot, with Arjun and Akriti reportedly finishing as finalists. Several viral posts also show Aarush holding the Rise and Fall trophy alongside contestant Manisha Rani — though their authenticity remains unverified.

Adding to the confusion, Wikipedia has been updated to list Aarush as the official winner, while other contestants such as Akriti Negi, Arbaz Patel, and Arjun Bijlani are shown as “evicted.” However, since Wikipedia entries can be edited by anyone, fans are treating this update with caution until an official declaration is made.

Voting controversy and AI speculation

Reports suggest that the winner was chosen through public voting, with Aarush allegedly securing the maximum votes during the finale week. However, circulating videos claiming to show the final announcement have sparked debate online — some fans allege these clips were AI-generated or digitally manipulated, further fueling uncertainty.

Despite the confusion, Aarush Bhola’s supporters have taken over X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, praising his journey and calling him the “most deserving contestant” of the season for his consistent gameplay and positive attitude.

Prize money and Aarush Bhola’s net worth

According to reports, the Rise and Fall Season 1 winner receives a cash prize of ₹30 lakh. While the exact payout to Aarush hasn’t been officially disclosed, the win — if confirmed — would significantly boost his financial profile. Media estimates peg his net worth between ₹12–15 crore, with an annual income of approximately ₹60–65 lakh, primarily from YouTube and brand collaborations.

Official announcement awaited

As of now, neither Prime Video nor the producers of Rise and Fall have issued an official statement confirming the results. The finale announcement is expected soon, which should finally end days of fan theories and speculation.

Until then, the internet continues to celebrate Aarush Bhola’s rumored victory — unofficially crowning him the ultimate ruler of Rise and Fall Season 1.
