So apparently he is a mastermind. I watched the episode because Asim became the captain but this is what I noticed.
Vikas ke 2 options the Shefali J and Madhurima. He talked to Shefali B and they both agreed on SJ.
The task starts and he tells Madhurima to sit out and eventually picks Arhaan whom he didn't want in the game.
Then in the 2nd round Shefali J and B both lose and are left with Asim and Arhaan.
Vikas backs out and makes Arhaan lose. (good that Asim became the captain)
So I am confused now. How is VG the mastermind? Both names he picked were eliminated and the person he picked lost out because he didn't want to play anymore. And then he is telling Madhu that he did it for her and she believes him and breaks down. What?
