Even though he was sent to the basement right at the start of his journey on the show, Arjun’s smart gameplay and strategies ensured his return to the penthouse and his reign as ruler once again. Sadly, his first stay in the penthouse was short-lived. Still, he later showcased strong leadership qualities and flipped the game over with support from Dhanashree Verma, Arbaaz Patel, and others, becoming a ruler for the second time. With this journey full of ups and downs, Arjun was the second contestant to become a finalist.

Arjun Bijlani was in the top two with content creator Aarush Bhola. Other finalists on the show were Arbaaz Patel, Dhanashree Verma, Akriti Negi, and Nayandeep Rakshit. While on the show, Arjun had his emotional moments, but he was always loved by his fans and also seen as a very strong competitor by his fellow contestants. Talking about his victory, Arjun said, “Rise and Fall proved that every fall is just a step toward rising stronger. This journey was anything but easy — each day brought a new challenge, a new lesson, and a new reason to keep going. The twists, the tension, the friendships, and the rivalries tested me in ways I never imagined. Winning feels surreal. I want to thank each player who’s been a part of Rise and Fall. Thank you, thank you so much, and a special thanks to Aarush and Arbaz, who both took my name to be the winner. I think without them, this wouldn’t have been possible. So thank you. I’ll always remember this and each player, whether I have fought with them, whether I have laughed with them; they were a part of my journey, and they made my journey beautiful, and each one of them is responsible for me being a winner here today. So, thank you, rulers, and thank you, workers.”
