Rise and Fall Basement Banter Turns Explosive: Anaya Bangar Refuses to Play the Victim Card
MUMBAI, India–September 25, 2025: The tower of Rise and Fall is shaking with scandals, shifting loyalties, and fiery confrontations. At the center of it all is Anaya Bangar, who’s making it clear she won’t play the “victim card.”
Down in the basement, Arbaz Patel seems quite excited about living the struggling life, turning the so-called struggle zone into a gossip adda. But today, the real spice came when Arbaz spilled the beans about Kubbra Sait’s off-camera game plan, accusing her of nudging him to target Aarush. When confronted, Kubbra broke down in tears, but Arbaz wasn’t having any of it. His blunt one-liner? “Tower mein koi kisi ke liye khada nahi hoga, even if you stand for them.”
Pointing straight at Anaya, he recalled: “Arey, kal main upar se iske liye bol raha hoon, toh yeh niche se bol rahi hai mujhe kuch bolna hi nahi hai.” Anaya put her foot down, making it clear to Arbaz that she would speak when the time comes — during the elimination. The conversation didn’t end there. When Arbaz pushed her to highlight her struggles for sympathy, Anaya cut him off with a strong statement, “Mujhe woh victim card nahi use karna hai.” No tears, no drama — just unapologetic clarity.
Meanwhile, the house is split in its weekly battle: Arbaz Patel, Bali, Aahana, Anaya, Aarush, and Akriti and Arjun Bijlani are grinding it out as Workers, while Dhanashree Verma, Aaditya Narayan, Aahana Kumra, Kiku Sharda, Nayandeep Rakshit, and Kubbra Sait enjoy their reign as Rulers. But with trust cracking and alliances breaking faster than ever, this masala reality show promises twists that no one sees coming. Catch the chaos, the gossip, and the ultimate game of power on Rise and Fall streaming daily at 12 PM on Amazon MX Player and airing at 10:30 PM on Sony Entertainment Television.

Bangla ZEE5 Launches ‘AmarBhashaAmarGolpo’ Brand Film Celebrating the Many Stories of Durga Pujo
Kolkata, 25th September 2025: Bangla ZEE5 unveils its Durga Pujo campaign, AmarBhashaAmarGolpo’, an integrated festive campaign designed to make Pujo entertainment more inclusive, accessible and deeply connected to Bangla audiences. The campaign is accompanied by a brand film that brings together many stories of the season, uniting in a shared spirit of joy during Durga Pujo — from a little girl sketching the goddess’ eyes, to a female priest leading a ceremony, an electrician balancing work and fatherhood, and even an unexpected festive meet-cute.
At the heart of the initiative is the Pujo Special Offer, giving subscribers the chance to enjoy the platform at a festive price. With the coupon code PUJO59, the monthly Bangla plan is available at just ₹59 instead of the regular ₹99, making it easier for families to come together and enjoy their favourite Bengali stories this season.
Adding to the celebrations, from 22 September to 2 October, a curated line-up of popular TV shows including Chirodini Tumi Je Amar, Jowar Bhata, SIT, Kone Dekha Aalo, will be available at no cost on Bangla ZEE5, creating a festive window for family viewing. To further immerse audiences in the spirit of the season, the platform is also livestreaming rituals from top Pujo pandals, alongside 35–40 VOD specials, ensuring that the sacred rituals and ceremonies can be experienced from the comfort of home
Speaking on the campaign, Rusa Banerjee, Business Head, Bangla ZEE5, said, “Durga Pujo is not just a festival; it is the heartbeat of Bengal, a celebration that brings people together across generations and communities. With ‘#AmarBhashaAmarGolpo,’ we wanted to capture this living heartbeat and carry it into every home. Our brand film and campaign echo the spirit of inclusion and togetherness, showing how Pujo is experienced in many different ways yet unites in one joyous spirit. From the PUJO59 festive offer and free TV shows to live pandal streams and community activations, every element has been designed to bring audiences closer to the essence of Pujo with Bangla ZEE5.”
Adding to this, Kartik Mahadev, Chief Marketing Officer, ZEE5 and Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited, said, “In a vibrant market like Bengal, Durga Pujo is when the state celebrates its culture in its richest form – through stories, music, pandal hopping, and shared moments. With ‘#AmarBhashaAmarGolpo,’ we’ve created a campaign that feels like home. It speaks to the very core of Pujo; its emotion of togetherness, nostalgia, and newness all at once. This is our commitment to the market to stay rooted in its culture even as we reimagine stories for a digital-first generation.”
Adding to this, Bangla ZEE5 premiered Mahalaya — Jago Maa Jago Durga, a program that is traditionally appointment viewing, and made it available on-demand. The special garnered an overwhelming response, driving a significant jump in subscriptions and allowing audiences to relive the moment at their own convenience.
Extending the campaign beyond digital screens, Bangla ZEE5 is rolling out outdoor branding across the city through banners and cab wraps. The creatives spotlight Mrigaya – The Hunt, a multi-starrer box office blockbuster and Bangla ZEE5’s big Pujo offering, alongside a line-up of other titles paired with quirky, colloquial Pujo liners that capture the local idiom and festive spirit. Featured shows include the upcoming Bangla ZEE5 original series Ganoshotru, as well as popular titles Abar Proloy, Bibhishon and Bohurupi, offering audiences a mix of nostalgia and newness this season.
To deepen its cultural connection, Bangla ZEE5 is also engaging with 50 residential complexes where Durga Pujo celebrations are hosted. Through RWA partnerships, the campaign will bring on-site screenings, festive activities and the PUJO59 offer directly to apartment Pujos and neighbourhood gatherings, turning the digital platform into a physical presence in community spaces.
