I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Abdu is far more real in that house than most of the others. He doesn’t mince words or hide how he feels. Isn’t afraid to be himself at all.
Yes people may not like the fact that he holds grudges, but he doesn’t pretend not to. If he hangs out with people he dislikes he does so having made it clear to them how he feels. No one there is under any illusion as to how Abdu feels about them.
He’s entitled to his opinion, and being upset with anyone else’s too. Why is it ok for Priyanka to claim that Shiv’s opinion that she’s over-confident is his misunderstanding? One that clearly stings her? Answer: because how dare anyone think anything even remotely critical of the perfect Priyanka. But Abdu can’t have an issue because it was someone’s opinion, which they’re entitled to.
And as for said opinion - Abdu became captain, and allocated duties without consulting Shiv or Sajid. So he’s off to a good start in complete spite of said expectation. Whether that continues or not remains to be seen, but he’s trying.
Likes/dislikes are subjective, but aside from that, I think Abdu is the most genuine, and genuinely himself person there after Sumbul. And put together with everything else going for him - the wit, the entertainment, and the affection - that’s a plus.
SP ye dekh. BBM ke nazare.
