As much as I would have liked the internal conflicts to take place within Shuklapur, this is a terrible timing for it to happen. Right now, there are more anti-Shukla forces in the house than there are pro-Shukla forces. And yes, as much as this season's narrative revolves around Shukla, it doesn't mean the guy is to be applauded for it. All this ballyhoo isn't going to make him a winner unless BB decides to change the pattern he's been following for years now; contestants that have had way too much of negative limelight to them don't end up winning. He's known for his notoriety, not winner-like qualities.
I don't understand how this man is so wet behind the ears despite the exposure and experiences in life. Matlab kaise? The moment a friend or an ally of his starts to think, speak or act for herself/himself, he cuts the cord straight away. Fly solo, not comfortable, I don't trust you...Basically, all he wants and needs are puppets in human bodies. Aarti hadn't even done anything so as to lose his trust completely and yet he's treating her like she's stabbed him in the back or something.
Not that I feel an ounce of sympathy for Aarti right now, she's bought it on herself but then since I don't want to watch a narrative where this dingbat forcefully and falsely victimises himself, SAAS or at least SAA should have remained intact. I think at this point even Asim deep down knows Shukla's condemnable ways but it's too late for him to switch sides which is why he's still sticking around.
He's quite astute when it comes to explaining Asim or Himanshi that 6 feet and well built guy 'talking' (red : physically intimidate) to a small and petite male or female wouldn't look nice onscreen but when he's told the SAME thing to his face time and again, they're all mistaken. It's just painfully clear that everything this guy does, he does it with complete consciousness, assimilation and clarity. Whether it is spewing filth, transforming into a mad bull, throwing his weight around, invading personal space or even casually sharing a moment of laughter or fun.
The only scene where I found him to be so-unlike himself was where Bhau was mimicking him and I was bemused to watch him take that sportingly. Yeh agar cheezein sportingly le sakta hain, khud pe hass sakta hain, toh thoda behtar insaan bhi banne ka effort bhi daal sakta hain. But then, he doesn't want to. That's who he essentially is. A man who does what he wants, when he wants to and the way he wants to. Period. Notice how Himanshi almost slipped up saying 'Haan, hum bhi chup chaap sun lete hain darr mein ke kya bolein ab' or something along the lines that speaks of the intimidation which she quickly denied and changed it to suit what would go down Shukla's stomach. Kyunki isko filhaal uss group mein rehna hain. 😆
Bhau and Tahseen are just drifting with the air, they haven't settled anywhere yet. Himanshi and Shefali have settled as Shukli's but watch them migrate too jaise inke sarr se paani upar chala jayega. Arhaan and Kesari have concluded they can't possibly be around him and rightfully so at that.
