He has told Shukla around 8-9th min in SR that "Now a lot of HMs are talking to Sana, giving her attention but the moment she sits with me, nobody will come near her." 😉
The reason he didn't sit with Sana immediately after entering the house. Meanwhile Bagga & Rashmi was seen instigating Sana with that against Paras, but he ensured that even he now talks with Sana everyone won't get away from her. He just created this favorable situation so quietly, that means he genuinely cared for Sana & now respects her friendship with Sid. 😊
Secondly by banging on Aarhan & Vishal he has taken Rashmi back into his confidence & even will have some leverage on Vishal in future. 😜
Meanwhile promising to make Asim & Shefali to be captain he has checked Shukla's feelings for them, convinced people that he's not against them & got Vikas nominated captain that he already said yesterday, could be the captain. He has played an excellent game in the guise of his usual Paras Chabra way. 🤣
Lot of valuable things he learnt, But didn't say and kept it for his future use, which he may open when necessary.
I think he does one thing very seriously, that's to keep the trust of friends and keep inviting new people in his circle. Relationship is The center of his game, a true Master of Minds. 😊
