According to Salman, Bigg Boss asked for aapsi sehmati and not bahumat, so voting shouldn't have happened.
Okay then how the housemates were supposed to reach a conclusion? Salman asked Nishant who always acts smarter than he actually is, aur usne bhi teen-paanch karke explanation de diya, par solution uske paas bhi nahi tha.
Obviously when there are more than 10 people in the house, they would almost always have different views and opinions to ever be on the same page for anything. So how is aapsi sehmati possible if everyone acts like a stubborn child like Pratik?
More importantly, how is aapsi sehmati possible without voting?
Jaha se Salman ne dekha, Pratik bilkul sahi dikhayi diya because he was firm in his decision of getting the task cancelled. He wasn't interested in becoming the Captain either because then he would've tried to convince other contestants to make him the contender. Akasa was doing that for him.
He like always just wanted to create a scenario where he's standing against the whole house. I think he even wanted to get bashed by Salman harshly in WKV to create sympathy for himself. But that didn't happen because Bigg Boss is obviously smarter and he's not their chosen one.
Currently he's among the top 3 most popular contestants on the house, other two being Karan and Teja but Bigg Boss doesn't want that.
I've seen people say on this forum that Pratik is Nikki Tamboli of this season. I would agree. Makers surely want to give him that role. They don't want his popularity to grow so they won't correct his mistakes to make him more unbearable.
My prediction is makers would just use him for all the drama, make him a complete villain of this season, and just before finale he would be thrown out to make way for other celebrity contestants (and Shamita).
So Pratik shouldn't be too happy because in a way Bigg Boss failed his plan and they just used him to prop up their favorites.
