Asim is the only one who has it in him to give it to Shukla on his face. Shukla now knows that he can't get his way by bullying him so uses emotional blackmail to go along with him.Asim is young immature and these are going against him.He does need someone mature advising him like Shefali or Rashmi
Rashmi - Yes she has not changed her stand but she is not playing well at all. If she had any sense she would have targeted all the points that gave Shukla his strength, mainly his original team and that would have put her in a better position. She had opportunities to turn the game in her favour and she didn't. She let Paras play his game instead of using Paras to play her game.
Vishal is overhyped.
