Who will rule & who will fall? Zodiac secrets of 'Rise and Fall' contestants
Amazon MX Player’s latest reality show, ‘Rise and Fall’, hosted by Ashneer Grover, has gained immense popularity in India’s OTT space. It is adapted from the UK origin show with the same name. The show divides contestants into two different worlds. One is the luxurious ‘Rulers’ who are made to live in a penthouse, and the other group is the struggling ‘Workers’ who somehow make ends meet and struggle to survive in the basement of the penthouse. As power shifts with strategy, betrayal, and alliances, the reality show is stirring debates not just about class division in this age of technology and inclusivity. There have been controversies about contestants’ personalities and sexuality, which made headlines.
The rise and fall in the stars
Arjun Bijlani – Scorpio
Popular television actor Arjun Bijlani has ruled the hearts of his fans with TV serials like ‘Naagin’ and ‘Ishq Mein Marjawan’. As a popular TV actor and a Scorpio, he’s intense and calculative. He thrives in secrecy, a trait that makes him a master strategist. He has also made headlines due to some controversies, like his alleged industry politics. This surely shows Bijlani’s Scorpio tendency to navigate through power struggles.
Ashneer Grover – Gemini (Host)
One of the former sharks at ‘Shark Tank India’, Ashneer Grover is no stranger to controversy. Who would not remember his outspoken feuds with the fellow sharks and his blunt remarks for the contestants/business ideas. Ashneer is a true Gemini; his wit, unpredictability, and sharp tongue are Gemini traits. This really makes him the perfect host for the show to stir chaos while keeping audiences hooked to their screens.
Pawan Singh – Capricorn
Bhojpuri superstar and politician Pawan Singh entered the show with a full-on ‘dhamaka’. Known for his hit songs and superhit films, Singh has a commanding screen presence. He has faced many controversies in the past, be it over his bold song lyrics or his personal life. His Capricorn energy makes him ambitious and authoritative, but also rigid. A natural ruler and leader, he can take risks while clashing with equals.
Dhanashree Verma – Libra
Choreographer, influencer, and ex-wife of cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, Dhanashree has been in the limelight for her marriage and divorce. She embodies Libra’s charm and diplomacy. While admired for her dance moves, she has also found herself in controversies during the difficult phases of her personal life. On the show, her zodiac suggests she will play peacemaker, balancing alliances while avoiding open conflict.
Kiku Sharda – Aquarius
Loved for his funny caricatures and comic timing in ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’, Kiku has struggled in his early career years. From small parts in films to stand-up comedy shows, he has made his way to fame and success with hard work and perseverance. Kiku Sharda carries Aquarius’ quirky, eccentric vibe and is always seen in a fun mood. Yet, Aquarians can be detached, meaning they might surprise with sudden strategic pivots despite seeming carefree.
Kubbra Sait – Leo
Best known for her role as a transgender woman in Netflix’s ‘Sacred Games’, Kubbra is bold and outspoken. A Leo at heart, she thrives in the spotlight and isn’t afraid of confrontation. She has previously been vocal about social issues, from body positivity to personal struggles, proving her fearless Leo roar may shake up the power dynamic.
Nayandeep Rakshit – Taurus
Entertainment journalist and public figure, Nayandeep, embodies Taurus’ patience and steadiness. While not embroiled in controversies, his grounded nature may allow him to outlast louder players. Taurus energy suggests he’ll stay loyal and persistent, though risks being underestimated.
Aahana Kumra – Taurus
From theatre to critically acclaimed films like ‘Lipstick Under My Burkha’, to OTT, Aahana’s acting career shows resilience and artistic dedication. A Taurus like Nayandeep, she’s practical, stubborn, and grounded. While not a headline magnet for controversies, her zodiac makes her a steady presence, potentially underestimated until the right moment.
Rise or Fall?
With fiery personalities like Kubbra (Leo), Arjun (Scorpio), and Pawan (Capricorn) likely to dominate, the game is bound to spark clashes of ego and ambition. Meanwhile, the balance-keepers Dhanashree (Libra) and Kiku (Aquarius) may navigate tricky social waters with charm and wit. The Taurus duo Nayandeep and Aahana could emerge as dark horses, proving that in Rise and Fall, sometimes patience and perseverance outweigh drama.
In the end, the stars suggest that while some contestants may shine in the penthouse, others will fall but, all will leave their mark in this high-stakes social experiment.
