The reality show Rise And Fall is dominating headlines and even challenging the long-standing popularity of Bigg Boss. Contestants from the show are in constant spotlight, but one housemate, Nayandeep Rakshit, has faced repeated questions about his gender identity, sparking an emotional breakdown.

Nayandeep’s Emotional Response

A video of Nayandeep Rakshit has gone viral on social media, showing him breaking down as he addresses the constant remarks on his sexuality. He expressed how hurtful it is when fellow contestants mock him after lights out, often joking about sleeping arrangements or hinting at romantic angles.

“They laughed at me after I slept. I knew such comments would come, but to be called He or She repeatedly by educated celebrities is disappointing. I won’t cry, because it doesn’t affect me anymore,” Nayandeep said before covering his face in tears.

Celebrities Come Out in Support

After the video surfaced, several celebrities voiced their support. Actress Gauahar Khan encouraged him to “stay strong,” Debina Bonnerjee praised his courage, while Aarti Singh told him to ignore the negativity and rise above the hate.

Bonding with Pawan Singh

Interestingly, Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh, who had earlier questioned Nayandeep’s gender, has gradually developed a close bond with him inside the house. Singh has repeatedly assured Nayandeep that he considers him one of his closest companions on Rise And Fall.
