“Villains Don’t Lead, They Manipulate — I Lead”: Arbaz Patel Claps Back at Kubbra Sait

Tensions continue to rise in Rise and Fall, and this week’s flashpoint was actress Kubbra Sait labeling Arbaz Patel a “villain.” But Arbaz, known for his fearless gameplay, fired back powerfully: “Villains don’t lead, they manipulate. I lead.” Patel has emerged as one of the show’s strongest and most authentic voices — bold, direct, and unwilling to play dirty. Unlike others who scheme in the shadows, Arbaz stands firm, plays fair, and isn’t afraid to confront challenges head-on. Kubbra’s attempt to paint him as the antagonist may have sparked drama, but it also spotlighted his growing influence. Many now view Arbaz not as a villain, but as a true leader — someone who navigates chaos with clarity and dignity. In a game where manipulation is common, Arbaz Patel's response was a masterclass in strength and authenticity. Leadership speaks for itself — and right now, Arbaz is speaking loud and clear.
