This guy was NOTHING. Now, not only is he a top contender for winning the show, but its purely based on goodwill and a united front among fans that "if the channel won't support him directly, we'll make them!" Its really an amazing feat.
If this was a show with just non-celebs/commoners (Indian Idol/Roadies type, where everyone's whole public image is based on only the show) then:
- Rashmi would never be brought back
- Shukla would be kicked out after the first dhakka (actually maybe even when he was first rough with Mahira months ago)
- Vishal/Madhu, Rashmi/Arhaan etc. all these angles wouldn't work at all without the prior context
So, that would just leave Asim and Sana. Everyone else has fandoms imported from other worlds. Don't get me wrong, I am not discounting other people's contributions (esp people like Shukla, Paras, Rashmi, Devo, Vishal, who have genuinely made efforts and are not freeloaders by any means). But overall, the fact that Asim started way, way, way behind the starting line and has totally caught up on the race is something that should not only be overlooked, but should be mentioned by Salman every f**king week to motivate the lazy ones like Bhau, Aarti, etc. Same goes for Sana too. I'm not a fan of her, but her success in terms of before/after the show is undeniable.
Pheeew okay that's my rant!
Seeing this trend on Twitter has really brought out something in me it seems. 🤣
This is what I’m saying. The guy actually has created a fan base on the show. I don’t know why Shukla fans are so insecure. I mean Asim is a newcomer and even if he doesn’t win the show which he won’t but don’t be so insecure coz you have support of fans, channel, BB, Salman while Asim has nothing but fans.
Also I wanna point to another thing owing to the bias. Of the last 3 weeks I’ve seen a lot of neutral fans of the show ( like you and honey bee on this thread) turn into Asim fans only because the show is hell bent on relegating this guy and breaking him owing to their own bias
