Well Asim and Paras are different.
Iām an Asim fan but Iāll give it that Paras is a better player than Asim is. Paras is double faced, manipulative and knows how to influence people and keep them in his orbit. Paras knows heās a top 5 contender. Heās gotten a great feedback from most of the guests, and even if Salman berates him Salman engages him a lot- so he knows heās in the finals for sure. So paras has no reason to be insecure. Also he does have a lot of people in the house on his side.
Asim on the other hand isnāt that manipulative. Heās with Shukla through thick and thin even at the cost of hampering his own game because thatās the feedback heās gotten from the makers till now and the genuine bond they share. He wants to increase his group because he fears nominations way more than Paras does, because Asim is the least known person in the house, and heās never gotten any feedback from the guests or even the WCās. Salman mostly ignores him or mocks him- so at this stage, of Asim wasnāt insecure and scared of being nominated and evicted - he would be an idiot.
Also you guys can love paras way more than Asim here but outside this little world of IF- Asim is the second most popular contestant after Shukla. Paras wonāt win this season at any cost. Asim might not too but Asim has more chances than Paras at this stage.
Ps - Iām an Asim fan but I donāt mind Paras.
