Mumbai: The drama on Rise and Fall heated up this week when actress Kubra Sait labeled Arbaaz Patel as the show’s “villain.” But Arbaaz, known for his candid and fearless persona, was quick to fire back. Responding sharply, he said, “Villains never lead, they only mislead. I lead.”
Throughout the season, Arbaaz has carved out a reputation as a strong contender who neither hides behind strategies nor shies away from personal attacks. His style is marked by honesty, resilience, and a readiness to confront every challenge head-on. In that light, Kubra’s “villain” remark seemed less an insult and more an acknowledgment of his growing influence.
Interestingly, the taunt appeared to backfire. Not only viewers but even several fellow contestants rallied behind Arbaaz, seeing him less as a villain and more as a leader—a player who provides direction, maintains composure under pressure, and exudes confidence.

In the high-stakes environment of Rise and Fall, Arbaaz’s reply was more than a comeback. It was a reminder that true leadership doesn’t stem from negativity or cheap shots, but from vision, integrity, and strength. At this stage, those very qualities are cementing his position as one of the show’s strongest and most impactful participants.
