Mumbai: Despite the buzz surrounding Ashneer Grover’s debut reality show Rise & Fall, Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 19 has proven its staying power, topping both television and OTT viewership charts last week.

As per the latest Ormax Media report (for the week of September 8–14, 2025), Bigg Boss 19 led the list of most-watched non-fiction shows on OTT in India, garnering 7.8 million unique viewers. Rise & Fall, though impressive for its debut, trailed at 4.9 million, settling into second place.

This data disproves earlier unofficial claims that Rise & Fall had surpassed Bigg Boss digitally.
