Rise And Fall: Is Arbaz Patel Possessive About Dhanashree Verma? Fans Feel So

Ashneer Grover’s reality show Rise and Fall continues to draw viewers with its intense drama, fiery clashes and ruthless gameplay. Amid these dramatic episodes, contestant Arbaz Patel has found himself in hot water after a controversial clip of him involving co-contestant Dhanashree Verma from the show went viral.

In a recent episode, Arbaz was seen questioning Dhanashree about her way of greeting fellow male contestants, particularly Arjun and Aarush. “Tum kya seedha jakar hug karti ho. Arjun ko, Aarush ko? (Why do you directly hug Arjun or Aarush or others?)” he asked, showing discomfort with her choice to greet them with direct hugs.

What Did Dhanashree Verma Say? When Dhanashree said that this is her way, she hugs everyone. Arbaz suggests

her to only give side hugs. Dhanashree, known for her confident and outspoken demeanour, responded, “Main side hug kabhi nahi karti, sabko front hug hi karti hoon. (I never give side hugs, I always give front hugs to people).”

The brief exchange may have ended on the show, but it sparked intense discussions online. Viewers were quick to call out Arbaz’s comments as “possessive” and “controlling,” criticising him for his behaviour.
