Actually, Shamit's influence on Arijit was slowly fading. Arijit was seeing the true side of shamit.
1) When Shamit was asked who is your best friend in the episode- he said sreekumar. Manav asked Arijit- did it hurt...?
2) When shamit, Rex and Arijit was in danger zone, Rex said that shamit should be saved. Arijit too said it, but in a feeble voice. Shamit said, that he deserves a chance. He never said Arijit should be saved or he should be saved. He spoke for himself. Arijits face was worth a watch. May be he felt that Since shamit thinks about himself, even he should start thinking about himself. In the next episode onwards..he started saying he is the best singer in Gurukul( I agree too!!).
3)Shamit is good, but not best. I am not a fan of Qazi, but he doesnt treat him well and even for humanity sake he doesnt behave well with him. He is very cold and cheap. He would be out today or tomorrow but losing to monica was something. He had been in danger zone quite a few times now...but ya, it was really bad to be losing against monica. But, then..when one has given them the voting power then we should not question why they did like that. I dont understand why anyone even discusses that on TV. ITs the participants right to vote for whomever they wish else whats the use of the right if you cant excercise it on your free will?
Anways, now onwards...the students will start voting the strongest compeititor out. Its a lesson to Sony. I feel they should take faculty vote, junta vote and judges vote. Students voting shouldnt be there. its absurd!!!!
