You know - Shukla just reinforces, time and again, why I find him such an utter jerk. "If I say Rubina and Abhinav won't sleep together, then you won't" he threatens in his phati hui baans. Why? Because you have control over the bedroom - so because they don't suck up to you, and they tell you exactly what they think - you're gonna be the petty arse you are and subtly gaslight Abhi thus? Disgusting.
And then, in a completely unrelated task - because Abhi dared to speak his mind - this POS says "I've been so nice to you; you're ungrateful, you're both sad souls". And when Ruby asked if he was talking about her, he lies that he's not. Ehsaan kiya - by being "nice"? Khareed liya kya? But that is exactly how Shukla thinks. He's almost pitiable - it's not Abhi and Ruby that are sad souls, it's Shukla.
Oh god thats hilarious 🤣. Shukla should be embarassed that Abhinav is having such a massive impact on him, and the thing is he wants him to go mad like Asim but hes way too calm for that.
