Ok Shukla doesn’t need people. He is anyways a shoo in for the finals. It is established that he is a straightforward upright guy, who says it like it is. He is the most straight-up person in the show right now. Even if he is getting friendly with Devo (for fun and footage) it is in a straight way in front of everyone. Woh toh muh pe bolta bhi he sabko bula ke lao, promo banate he. He has clarity. He picks his friends and tries to stick by them unless they step on his *oversized ego*
Now let me tell you why I think he made up with Asim TODAY:
- He couldn’t give in and forgive too easily. Otherwise his group members will start taking him lightly. Also if he didn’t give in to Sana easily he couldn’t with Asim either. Apna dabdaba bana ke rakhne ke liye.
- He STILL was under the misconception that he was RIGHT and ASIM was wrong in the fight. But Salman ne clear kiya ki Kesari won his team the task. And Salman heaping praises on Asim was another check that he was right in their fight. Toh abhi lamba kheechne ka koi matlab hi nai banta tha. Especially when Asim pampered his ego aage peeche ghoom ke and indirectly continuously signaling that he wants to be friends again.
The takeaway cannot be that he has an ulterior motive of keeping Asim close. Or its somehow his game. Its not. His ego was coming in the way. And today he dropped it. Kudos Shukla ji. Aise hi ghamand ko khud se door rakho. Aapka ye sabse bada weak point he.
He is NOT that manipulative in a sneaky way. Ki woh Asmin aage na nikal jaaye isliye usko apne paas rakhe. Ya fir woh strong he aur tareef ho gayi isliye. Asim is good friend, he swallowed his “ego” and made up. Good for him.
Asim toh is smitten with Sid and I can see it in his eyes. How emotional he was when Sid hugged it out. Awwww love Asim such a sweetheart. Aur kitna dil jeetaga tu bande. Already kai log fida he tere nature pe. Sweetiecutiepatootipie
Shukla and Asim ka bond genuine he. Dono side se. Asim ke taraf se pyaar thoda zyada lagta he. But Shukla feels for him too. Shukla ne use game ke liye waapas nahi liye. Ye uske nature me he hi nahi itna tedh sochna, and neither does he need to at this juncture given his standing in the house.
Nazar na lage Ram Lakhan ko. Kala teeka.
