Who Is Aarush Bhola in Rise and Fall?
Aarush Bhola in “Rise and Fall” is the unapologetically bold, sometimes brash, always memorable contestant who’s made waves for his vlogging bravado, fitness discipline, and, let’s be honest, a knack for getting into loud spats with just about anybody who gets in his way.
He’s been called the self-proclaimed “best vlogger,” that’s a real quote from the man himself, which gives you an idea of his confidence (or is it cheerful arrogance? Kind of depends on which housemate you ask). The show, set up as a social experiment, tosses a bunch of celebrities and high-profile personalities into a pressure cooker and watches the drama unfold, which, if you’ve seen Aarush and Arbaz Patel’s now-viral fight, you know, gets spicy.
Honestly, what’s fascinating isn’t just the shouting matches or the almost-physical confrontations. It’s how often Aarush straddles the line between “relatable hustler” and “oh man, did he just say that on camera?” and, for some, it’s exactly this unpredictable persona that’s made him the center of the season’s chaos.
Aarush Bhola Profession
Aarush Bhola wears many hats, but the ones that fit best are fitness influencer, vlogger, entrepreneur, and all-around digital hustler. If you’re on Instagram or YouTube and you haven’t stumbled on his energetic workout routines or those “roast with friends” shorts, you’re one of the few.
The guy’s built a digital empire, a YouTube channel named “Aarush Bhola Fit – Mess” has racked up over 1.5 million subscribers and somewhere north of 235 million video views. Those are wild numbers, even if you factor in that half his videos seem to be filmed on gym floors.
Apart from fitness, Aarush has leaned into entrepreneurship. He’s the owner of All Stag Apparels, runs collaborations with brands like Big Muscles Nutrition, and co-founded another brand, MOTIVE, with his brother and best friend. Here’s how his work life shakes out, more or less (okay, it’s not an MBA case study, but you get the gist):
-
YouTube, Instagram, and digital content: Workouts, comic bits, roasts, fitness tips
-
Business: Owner of All Stag Apparels, co-founder of MOTIVE
-
Brand collaborations: With top fitness and health brands
-
Occasional controversies: He and his friends don’t always keep it PG. His videos (and now his reality TV stint) are proof
And if you’re wondering, yes, he does monetize, quite successfully (rumor is, he pulls in enough to make most of us rethink our career choices).
Aarush Bhola Age
Aarush Bhola is 26 years old in 2025, born on October 21, 1998, in Delhi. People sometimes guess he’s younger because, well, he’s got that frenetic “Does this guy even sleep?” energy. Not to mention the kind of dedication to biceps that makes you think he’s probably lived at least a few of his years inside a gym.
Curious side note: fans sometimes get tripped up by conflicting claims about his age on old birthday posts, social media does that, you know? One year he’s turning 25, next everyone’s singing for #Aarush27. Classic influencer math.
Aarush Bhola: Rise and Fall Journey
Aarush’s journey on Rise and Fall, oh boy, where do you even start? From the opening episode, he walked in exuding the kind of swagger that made fans love him or roll their eyes (sometimes both, in the same breath). Straight out of the gate, he cast himself as a leader, maybe too loudly for some contestants, prompting quick alliances and even quicker rivalries.
The “fiery showdown” with Arbaz Patel wasn’t just a fight over tasks; it was two massive egos colliding in a way that reality TV producers dream of at night. It went from petty taunts (“Tu kuch nahi kar raha hai!”) to a near-brawl, shoves, shouted insults, the works, all caught on camera. For regulars of Indian reality TV, this was a throwback to the golden age of Bigg Boss feuds, but with more protein shakes.
Aarush’s story on the show is the classic rollercoaster: sometimes playing the underdog as a “Worker,” sometimes climbing up as a “Ruler,” battling through drama, switching roles, and, unlike some reality warriors, still managing to sneak a smile or drop a self-deprecating joke after a loss. The best part? Even in the thick of showdown aftermaths, he posts about his workouts online. “Bro, got voted out by the squad back to biceps tomorrow.” That’s on-brand.
And, hey, maybe that’s why Aarush Bhol, both in and out of “Rise and Fall,” still feels a little bit like the self-made underdog, fighting for every like, every subscriber, and every second of screen time, all the way from the basement to the penthouse.
