Okay ,i would like to give my pov there.
Honestly speaking,i've nvr ever watched even a single episode of any of the BB seasons..This time too i started watching after a few episodes ,this ws after i got to know that Siddharth Shukla is also a contestant..I liked shukla since his babul ka angan(telecasted on sony some 10 yrs back) days..so i got to know that he ws also a part of bb this tym after reading some of the tweets by celebs like kamya punjabi praising him..i thought of watching it after that Siddharth malhotra and ritesh wla episode..after that i watched previous episodes also..so let me be honest here,from being in awe with his personality to completely disliking him,the journey wsn't smooth..I tried convincing myself that there must b something good about him even after reading about his controversies,i refused to believe that he ws as bad a person..But it finally opened my eyes,i ws a big fan of salman khan before this and my frnds used to tease me for being a fan of such a person ,they also used to persuade me into watching BB,and after i finally watched it,my love for SK turned into absolute disgust. From a fan who couldn't listen anything about sk to just another hater..So if u ask me,had i not seen BB ,i would've jst voted for shukla bcoz of my blind love for sk and shukla..There must be several like me,who love him from before and even after not watching the show, are rooting for him..Then there must be some who don't want to see beyond their love and judge between right and wrong, who'll support him..As for Asim ,i think majority of his fans are outside,I don't think he has that good PR like shukla has considering he's a celebrity..rashmi,shukla,bhau and sana are more famous here hence they rank better..I didn't know Asim before, I started watching BB as a fan of shukla,but ended up being a fan of Asim ..So i like Asim with or sans Shukla..(but he's bttr sans him)
