I feel when the 2 bahus were evicted to be brought back, they had a good negotiation session with BB.
Notice how much Bb has started showing Shukla's reality after these 2 came back? Though vakeel is still on his own tangent, somehow we are seeing more of how cheaply Shukla treats his minions and how crassly he behaves with the others. Usually BB shows a little bit of the truth of their favoured son but only in the last week or so.
