Entrepreneur Ashneer Grover is set to host a new reality show, Rise & Fall, and a recent promo has already created a buzz. The teaser, released on Amazon MX Player, features contestant Dhanashree Verma taking a veiled jab at her ex-husband, cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal.
The promo introduces the show’s concept, where contestants are divided into two distinct groups: Rulers and Workers. It also shows some of the celebrity participants, including Arjun Bijlani, Kubbra Sait, Kiku Sharda, and Dhanashree. The drama kicks into gear when Kiku mentions the word “trust.” The camera immediately pans to Dhanashree, who throws a ball and says, “Trust toh mera bahut pehle hi toott chuka tha” (My trust was broken a long time ago).
The comment is a clear reference to her recent, and very public, divorce from Yuzvendra Chahal, which was finalized in March of this year. The couple’s separation was filled with controversy and allegations, with both parties sharing cryptic social media posts and making shocking revelations in podcasts.
A Game of Power and Survival
The teaser highlights the show’s premise of a cutthroat power struggle. The Rulers are shown living a luxurious life in a penthouse, while the Workers are confined to a minimal basement. The show’s tagline, “16 contestants. Two worlds. One ultimate power struggle,” perfectly encapsulates the core theme.
According to the official caption, the show promises a “daily dose of dhoka, dhamaka aur drama” as contestants form alliances and fight to rise to the top. The game begins when the Workers try to unseat the Rulers.
Rise & Fall is set to premiere on September 6, with new episodes streaming daily and for free on Amazon MX Player.
