Arjun Bijlani, Akriti Negi clash explodes during first nomination task on Rise and Fall

The first nomination task on Rise & Fall wasn’t just tense—it turned into a shouting match that set the tone for what’s ahead. Viewers tuning in saw friendships wobble, accusations fly, and then a fiery exchange that instantly became the talking point of the episode.

The clash? Arjun Bijlani vs. Akriti Negi.

It started with Akriti tossing a sarcastic line at Arjun—“Hero ban gaye.” That one dig was enough to flip the mood. Arjun, clearly not in the mood to brush it off, fired back, “Mai hun, aur suno tum heroine kabhi nahi banogi tumhare attitude se.” The room went silent for a beat. Akriti wasn’t backing down either. She snapped, “Aap koi nahi ho batane vale ki mai heroine hun ke nahi hun.”

From there, voices rose, tempers cracked. What was supposed to be a nomination discussion spiraled into something else entirely. Other housemates tried stepping in, but the damage was done—the first proper rivalry of the season might just be here.
