Actress Akriti Negi’s journey on the popular reality show Rise and Fall has taken viewers by storm, quickly becoming one of the most talked-about storylines of the season. With her never-say-die attitude and fearless approach, Akriti has captured the hearts of fans and perhaps even overshadowed some of the big names in the show.
But it’s not just the audience that’s backing her; there’s an unexpected wave of support from some major figures in the Indian cricketing world.
Ishan Kishan’s Surprising Support for Akriti Negi
As the show approaches its finale, a video has surfaced online that’s set social media abuzz. Indian cricketer Ishan Kishan, known for his dynamic performances on the field, is seen urging fans to vote for Akriti Negi. In the viral clip shared by tennis player Anshuman Srivastava on Instagram, Ishan makes a heartfelt appeal: “Please everyone, vote only for Akriti.”
This show of support caught many by surprise. Fans were expecting Ishan to back another contestant – Rise and Fall co-contestant Dhanshree Verma, the ex-wife of Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. However, Ishan’s public endorsement of Akriti has turned heads and sparked a lot of curiosity.
More Cricketers Join the Bandwagon
But Ishan isn’t the only cricketer reportedly rallying behind Akriti Negi. Rumors are swirling that all-rounder Nitish Reddy and fast bowler Akash Deep have also shown their support for the actress. While no official posts have been made, sources suggest that both players have voiced their backing for Akriti behind the scenes.
What’s Behind Ishan Kishan’s Support?
Why, you might wonder, is Ishan Kishan supporting Akriti so openly? The answer might lie in Akriti’s rumoured relationship with tennis player Anshuman Srivastava. Anshuman, a close friend of Ishan and of cricketer Shubman Gill has often been spotted hanging out with Ishan and other cricketers. It seems likely that Ishan’s support for Akriti could be a gesture for his friend’s partner, further deepening their bond off the field.
Akriti’s journey on Rise and Fall has certainly been one of resilience and triumph, but the backing of high-profile cricketers has added an unexpected twist to the narrative, making her story even more compelling. With the finale on the horizon, all eyes will be on how the support from the cricketing world impacts her chances of taking home the crown.
