I've spent my life entertaining people on screen and on stage but Rise and Fall is a completely different ballgame.

Everyone's attention was drawn to a candid moment between singer-host Aditya Narayan and Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh on the reality show Rise and Fall.

Speaking to Aditya, Pawan made a crucial point when he said, "When your father is a superstar, there are problems and pressures."

Aditya gave a candid response to this, stating that nepotism has its limits and does not apply to everyone.

"Look, not everyone is a victim of nepotism. It has levels as well. We have worked really hard as well. We are still working hard and will keep working hard. Ram Ji Ki Chaal Dekho, our first song from Ram Leela, was a hit," he remarked.

Aditya Narayan, who is currently a contestant in Rise and Fall, is well-known for his roles as an actor, singer, television host, and composer. He was born in Mumbai on August 6, 1987, and is the son of Udit Narayan, a well-known playback singer.

Aditya started singing when he was four-year-old, and as a child artist, he has appeared in more than 100 songs. He is renowned for hosting programmes such as ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’. In addition, the singer-host competed in Rohit Shetty's Khatron Ke Khiladi 9, placing second in the stunt based reality show.

Aditya discussed his involvement in Rise and Fall during the premiere of the play, saying, "I've spent my life entertaining people on screen and on stage but Rise and Fall is a completely different ballgame. There are no rehearsals or scripts here, just the unadulterated truth. It feels fantastic to enter this world of luxury in a suit, but I am aware that things could change at any moment. I'm here to have fun, compete, and possibly catch a few folks off guard."

Rise & Fall presents Ashneer Grover, who is hosting for the first time on national television, who asks 15 famous contestants to choose between two extremes: the Rulers' opulent penthouse and the Workers' simple basement.
