The reality show Rise and Fall has been making headlines for its mix of intense strategy, heated exchanges, and high-stakes drama. The latest episode added another fiery moment when host Ashneer Grover threw a tough question at Aditya Narayan, sparking a candid exchange that has quickly become a talking point among fans.


During a segment where Ashneer fielded fan questions, he asked Aditya, “What is wrong with Aditya? I think he has come here to do method acting.”


Aditya, who is currently part of the ruling party in the game, didn’t hesitate to hit back. “If somebody thinks that I’m a method actor and I’m acting over here, so be it. I’m not here to please these people. I’m here to win the show. If they think I’m doing method acting to win, it’s alright—as far as I win the show. I’m here to win it,” he said firmly.


The singer-actor doubled down on his approach, explaining that his strategy inside the game is to think like a leader. “I am not a worker over here, I am a ruler. So I will behave and think like a ruler. If I were to show another side of mine, I think I would be out of the show in three days. But as a ruler, it’s my responsibility to do things accordingly,” he added.


Aditya also brushed aside claims that he was “acting” for the cameras. “I don’t think we’re here for so long, so if I was doing method acting, that would have been visible on the camera straight up,” he remarked.


Fans of the show have been divided after the exchange. While some viewers appreciated Aditya’s confidence and clarity, others felt his attitude came off as arrogant. Social media was flooded with reactions, with one fan commenting, “This is the Aditya we want to see bold and unapologetic,” while another wrote, “Ruler or not, he should tone down his arrogance.”

For those unfamiliar, Aditya Narayan is no stranger to the entertainment world. The son of legendary playback singer Udit Narayan, he began his career as a child actor. With Rise and Fall heating up, Aditya’s bold statements have set the stage for more confrontations and power moves in the episodes ahead.
