Vishal's initial friends in the house were pahira so i wont question their equation neither question vishal's soft spot for dem and vice versa!
Coming to rashmi and Asim, he himself said he is attached to Asim and Asim is his only connection! This simply means he have come to appreciate asim as a friend!
About Rashmi, him not considering her friend isnt that bad! It simply means, for him, she is a good acquintance or colleague and he have respect for her! She did him favors and if time comes, he too will do same!
Sana tried to turned him against rashmi, he silently listened and after sometime was chilling wid rashmi!
Rashmi does consider him a friend but it doesnt obligate that vishal should return same feelings!
I am saying this from personal experience! There are many classmates from school and college who will tell they consider me a friend but i dont return the feeling! I respect them and appreciate them for their love and do watever is in my power to make dem happy and not hurt their feelings! Its just that for me meaning of friend runs deep and i can count my friends on one hand. I have around only 10 friends from real world and online world 🤷 but there are many people whose company i enjoy, i respect them, adore them and will do anything for them just cos they consider me a friend - a small thing i cud do🤷 but they are not my friends!
I hope it was not confusing😆
