Well, it might be true that her presence will hurt Asim's game, but if the makers think they want the old Sid-Asim jodi back and that's why they evicted Himanshi, then they are frankly dreaming.
Asim is not the old Laxman Asim that he used to be. He has emerged to become a sureshot finalist and is even beating Sid once in a while in online polls. Plus, Sid likes ultimate loyalty aka doormats - Sana, Aarti, etc. Asim was never that, and will definitely not be one now. So, I think its best for the makers to view Asim as a potential competition for Sid, and not as a potential second-lead.
As far as Himanshi is concerned, who knowwwws what this girl is trying to do. I must admit to two things:
- There is something manipulative about her. Not necessarily in a bad way, but she does subtly hint at things and twists words. So, if she wants to get back in, this is a good way to push it since people are into the couple as a pair. Worked for Arhaan!
- Asim-Himanshi was genuinely very cute and felt like an organic chemistry. Especially compared to Madhu-Vishal now who are not talking at all for a week, then she gets nominated and they fight, then make up, and then fight again within 2 days. Something about Asim and Himanshi seemed real in that their disagreements were understated and they genuinely spent time with each other (even as a group with others also present).
Dekhte hai kya hota hai.
Must say, very interesting game she is playing through social media đ
