I have said this several times before, just reiterating the facts.
Shukla being a narcissist MCP, he never considered Arti or Sana as his competition or even players. He treated them like his personal doormats. Have you ever seen him showing care, compassion or respect to these 2 ladies? Heck, he even treats Mahira with more attention and respect.
He uses words like "don't use your brain" who asked you to use your brain when you don't have it, Gadhi, These words reflect what he thinks about them.
He uses Arti as his personal assistant who will help him do his share of housework, he uses Sana to keep him occupied at night and for his entertainment.
Yes, he does throw a bone here and there to keep them by his side.
I had written this, when there is no respect or compassion or loyalty, that is not friendship, that's just treating them like slaves or doormats.
He saved Paras coz he needs him in his game, not because of any friendship. I feel sad for Arti and Sana coz they do not realize how much they are being used. Poor ladies having no self-respect for themselves.
