So I used to always think that Paras is the best player of BB like he understands the game well. But today I realised there’s no one who beats Shukla at this game.
People are suddenly noticing the change in his behaviour. Working, looking friendlier, behaving less pompous, and flirting teasing thing with Devo. It hasn’t happened because of being friends with Sana or having had a fight with Asim or the Devo thing. It’s all a well thought out plan- he realised that in the fight with Asim he might have looked bad to a certain extent and he didn’t want Asim to get any sympathy from either the housemates or viewers from the fight and he changed gears.
Became friendly, started working having more fun showing a lighter side to himself and that obviously worked for him atleast in changing opinions about him in the house to an extent.
Also he’s a really smart reader of the game- he wasn’t talking to Asim and was full on just ignoring him even when Asim was trying to talk to him during the tag task. But as soon as Salman praised Asim, he changed gears again and reconciled with him. Smart move on his part! Dumb move on Asim’s.
Shukla realised Asim being praised meant that he looked wrong in their fight and Salman also said Asim mainly lost the task because of khesari’s work so again Shukla’s strategy and lack of effort by the team in the task was crucial to them losing. Him patching up with Asim was mainly because he realised Asim is a competition and it’s better to keep your competition as an ally than an enemy. This way he can overshadow Asim albeit now with a more accommodating approach. Asim will fall into this trap because he looks at Shukla like a big brother.
Shuklas next move will be how to navigate between Sana and Asim in the same group because I can’t seem them coexisting. Arti he gives no fcks about.
Anyway all in all. I don’t like him at all, but from the game perspective- the man is in it to win it. Playing sharply and shrewdly.
