Reality Show Contestant Fined $1M for Seeking Mental Health Break

On October 7th, 2025, the ongoing reality show "Rise and Fall" has been making headlines for its dramatic twists and turns. One of the latest developments involves contestant Akriti Negi, who recently expressed a desire to quit the show due to the toll it was taking on her mental health.

Akriti reportedly stormed off the set after a heated dispute with fellow participant Arjun Bijlani. She insisted she wanted to leave the show immediately, but the makers informed her that doing so would breach her contract and result in a staggering $1 million penalty. Unable to pay such a large sum, Akriti had no choice but to continue on the program.

Akriti's co-contestants, including Kiku Sharda and Aditya Narayan, were seen consoling her and reminding her that there are only 10 days left before the show concludes. The recent episodes have also featured emotional reunions between the contestants and their family members, adding to the high-stakes drama.

Looking ahead, the promo for the upcoming episode hints at a heated argument between Dhanashree Verma and Arbaz Patel, further captivating the show's passionate fan base. As "Rise and Fall" nears its end, viewers remain glued to the screen, eager to see how the remaining contestants navigate the challenges and emotional turmoil.
