On the contratry, I think Sandhya is better off than Prachi or Jay and she would win either way.
More than popularity I think how an celebrity portrays himself or herself in the show decides a lot.
Sandhya is also quite popular. Compared to Prachi and Jay, Sandhya has been in danger zone less number of times. So, all the talks about Sandhya not being popular is wrong. Even Sandhya says the same. Wonder why? 😉 Also, she is also constantly reminding ppl that she is was also a bahu. Again I wonder why?
Coming back to my point. Just like how Prachi is being analyzed from her behavior on-screen and from articles, Same would be done with Sandhya. That plays a major role. One reason why Negiji stayed so long would be his attitude and behavior on-screen. He never got into trouble, did not judge other ppl and minded his own work. This is an attitude would be appreciated by public.
Like it or not, In India, Ppl like respecting others and being in groups. The way Sandhya talks would not be taken very well by ppl who watch the show. I dont think not many would call what she does as being confident and frank. Public would perceive it as being arrogant.
Lets not forget, last episode did create some waves. Negiji himself telling that Shiamik is biased towards Sandhya.
So, if Sandhya fails to get votes, she herself is one reason for that and nothing else.
Coming to Prachi, One thing that mind work against Prachi is that she is Ekta's blue-eyed girl. Also the whole wildcard issue might play a role. So, it is not as if Prachi is going to get free votes.
SO, Sandhya is definitely better off. All the talks about popularity winning is a rubbish.
If Sandhya fails to get the title, she will still win. Because, there are some people out there, who will never accknowledge that Prachi is also talented and will take every opportunity to say that she won only because of her Bani image. With People like that existing, even if Sandhya loses, she wins their sympathy just like how Shweta got against Mona.
Ultimately, Sandhya wins either way.
