Eleven more names are yet to be revealed, with fresh announcements expected right up to premiere day.

## How Does the Show Work?

Rise and Fall’s format is simple but ruthless: contestants split into **Rulers**, who live in a luxurious penthouse and control decisions, and **Workers**, confined to a basement and forced to earn their way up. Positions shift constantly based on strategy, alliances, and performance — making every episode a fresh power struggle.

## What Happened in Season 1?

Season 1 became a massive hit for MX Player, ultimately won by television actor **Arjun Bijlani**, with Aarush Bhola as first runner-up and Arbaz Patel as second runner-up. Bijlani took home ₹28.1 lakh in prize money — a bar Season 2 contestants will be eager to beat.
