Claudia Ciesla and her beau Arjun Goel backs Her Buddy Arjun Bijlani in Rise and Fall: “He’s Playing Brilliantly!”
Former Bigg Boss 3 contestant and Khiladi 786 actress Claudia Ciesla is brimming with pride as she cheers on her dear friend, actor Arjun Bijlani, who is currently winning hearts on the reality show Rise and Fall. Having followed the show since its inception, Claudia has been one of Arjun’s most enthusiastic supporters, rooting for him to take home the trophy. “Both Arjun Bijlani and his wife Neha are very close to me and my boyfriend, Arjun Goel—we’ve known each other for years. Since we live nearby, we’ve shared many wonderful memories together. Watching him in Rise and Fall has been such a thrill—we cheer for him every single day!” said Claudia with a smile. Expressing admiration for Arjun’s gameplay, she added, “He’s doing an incredible job—whether it’s winning tasks, motivating his teammates, or now leading as a ruler. It truly makes us proud to see him shine on such a big stage, and we’re all hoping he brings home the trophy.” Opening up about their bond, Claudia shared, “Our connection with Arjun and Neha is very special. Neha is my partner Arjun Goel’s rakhi sister, which makes the relationship even more personal. Since we live close by, we often meet for festivals, dinners, and casual get-togethers. Over the years, this bond has grown into something that feels more like family than friendship.” Recalling their warm memories together, Claudia fondly described the Bijlani household as “a hub of warmth and laughter.” She said, “We’ve spent countless evenings together, and while we miss those moments now, watching him excel on screen makes up for it. It feels like he’s still around—just in a different way—and it’s wonderful cheering for him from home.” Praising Arjun’s determination and authenticity, Claudia said, “When Arjun commits to something, he gives it his all. He’s genuine to the core—what you see is exactly what you get. Even on the show, his helpful and kind nature shines through, just as it does in real life.” When asked if she’d like to join Rise and Fall herself, Claudia laughed and replied, “Arjun Goel and I would absolutely love to! We’ve been following the show closely, and the concept is so unique and entertaining. It would be exciting to take on those challenges together as a couple. Who knows—maybe one day you’ll see us competing while Arjun Bijlani cheers for us from the outside!”
