Shukla is the shrewdest contestant. - Page 3

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.

As much as I dislike him, have to agree he is the best player/gamer in the house after this week. For me , the show revolves around him is NOT the criteria to win the show. His moves r. He definitely changes his moves according to other players and that’s his smartness.

Close to him comes Paras and now Devo. I am loving their games and don’t mind any of these winning if they play this way. BB is all about the game after all. But Asim, Vishal and Mahira too r on my likes as they r vocal, strong when it comes to giving back to Shukla or tasks.

Rashmi needs to buck up her game.

Sana has lost her plot, if any existed other than her so called entertainment which is almost snatched by her mirror contestant Bhau.

If after all these, if my favourite contestant Aarti Singh wins, I can b only proud that my favourite won finally.😆

Sid, Asim, Sana and Shefali is my favourite but totally agree to everything you just said about Sid Sid is definitely here to win and hope Asim continues to play the way he is doing so far.

Yeah I like having discussions without bringing in ones favorites and whitewashing everything they do to win arguments. I don’t like Shukla but I recognise that he’s the most instrumental player in the game. I can’t comment on his Emotional quotient that he shares with Asim or Sana( arti he gives no Fcks about) but he’s with Sana and Asim now for his own reasons too. Shukla is a smart player he realises that he’s probably a fan favorite so far and Sana and Asim are the other two, and he’s not wrong on that read. Isn’t it better to have these fan favorites on his side because people tend to support groups- arti probably benefited from that too before first finale.

He will distance from Asim and Sana when it’s time to go solo. Right now is not the time.

Also I like Asim and I do agree that they do deserve to go in top 3 or 3 along with Shukla. Shukla and Asim have some common traits like ego, aggression, short tempered. But they’re vastly different too. Asim is a more chilled guy in general and is not territorial, he’s reactive on small things and sometimes he lets really big things pass without making an issue like Sana throwing boxes on him or Tehseen career shaming him and racially shaming him. If it was Shukla he would sucked out all it’s worth from them.

Asim is a lot more real as a player and I think that’s one of the reasons people like him. Also the fact he’s the ultimate underdog this season. People get behind people like this. He also comes across as loyal, and humble. He’s very attached to Shukla emotionally and I think that’s one thing that’s going to hamper asims game in the future.

Shukla on the other hand is very good at giving out the picture of being genuine and real which he’s not. He’s an excellent game player and I feel all his moves except for his insane bouts of aggression are well timed and well planned. He’s got leadership qualities Too. He might actually have a soft corner for Sana though which is his only genuine connection in the house. But Shukla keeps the game above it all. Which is great IMO I mean you’re here to win.

Beautiful analysis 😊

Honestly he cares about none of his friends except maybe Sana but he also reconciled with her realising that sidnaz is something people love. He knows what matters.

He was happy enough to discard Asim till he didn’t perceive him as competition. He reconciled with him because he’d rather keep him close. Look at how badly Sana’a game is suffering when she’s just looking like she’s playing for Shukla and not herself and she was such a popular contestant otherwise. I’m worried for Asim falling into the same trap again. I hope he’s smarter than that.

Bhau, Himanshi and Shefali are needed in the team only for majority number and the fact is three of sticking by Shukla gang is for their own advantage too.

What was sana benefitting when she was alone? When she fought with shukla, she was projected as a villain and she only talked about shukla 24/7. She was more popular and liked when she was with shukla

Bold- very brave choice ya! I mean It’s tough being an Arti fan I think people seem to not like her from both the saas and Bahu sides. Lol.

Yeah but in the first round. After her flipping to Paras and now back to Shukla- she’s lost a lot of credibility. I know a lot of people who liked Sana but now they compare her behaviour to Arti singh in the show which isn’t nice. Sana had her own identity on the show but her flipping back and forth is ruining her own game.

You just said it all👏

Could you please share it on Twitter please??

I am not sure why this is being called flipping-these are not soldiers at the India- Pakistan border who should never fraternise with each other😆

I know girls like Sana - they will talk with everyone in the house- she was low she went to the guy she likes the most in the house but that did not mean she wanted to burn her bridges with Shukla and co.

It's not her fault that there is so much groupism in that house, that even fraternising with housemates of a different group is seen as defection and everyone is behaving like they are Cold War USA and Russia😆
