Blame BB!!
Seriously - we should blame BB for this. Their stupid attempt to raise the stakes in the game and get the celebs to be serious by evicting Nehha caused this.
If Nehha had stayed, Deepika's game path might have been completely different in this season. Instead of getting more and more isolated as the game progressed (all the commoners have at various times called her fake and absolutely NONE have shown any interest in truly playing with her (except for Megha! but that is another story) ), with KV himself being directionless as he went thru the middle overs, she's in her own mind, decided to wipe out the stain from the minds of all the viewers of not siding with her Bhrata-shree during the midnight eviction drama.
But with only "celebs" left being KV, Shree, Srishty and KV's weird self-indulgence struggles during the middle, known and obvious antipathy from Shrishty, her one source of (questionable) comfort has been the Bhrata-Shree relationship. Megha was the only other person but she probably found her to be too hyper-involved in the "game" and too untrustworthy (because of Megha's single-minded focus on the game) eg. remember how Megha tried to cross over the fence when Deepika hadn't fully made up her mind about Megha. That one thing that Megha did, I think, made Deepika not trust her anymore and they ended up allies of convenience (in the sense that both got maligned by Deepak, Rohit and often ended up being made fun of).
And she has so singlemindedly pursued her aim of showing that she was loyal and hadn't dumped her Bhrata-shree for the game that with her actions & constant care & bhaiyya-giri, she has won over Bhuvaneshwari ( I have to admit - I like Shree calling her "Nayan-ji") and most of the audience . So devoted has she been, that people now are actually sick of her constant bhaiya-giri.
Nehha's clarity about Bhrata-Shree - especially after he got all mad at her for daring to suggest that he needed strength, and her friendship with Deepika might have led her to be a completely different person on BB instead of the Deebikaji we see today.
But alas for BB and their stupid decision-making council... Oh, what might have been...
