Arhan has tried and succeeded in pulling Asim away from Shukla.
The first time was during the tunnel task. He told Asim that he should be playing on his own etc. Soon after that he was evicted.
Asim broke off with Shukla but did not join Rashmi gang.Himanshi was helping him play his own game at the same time taking a pro Shukla stance in many instances just to keep that bridge intact.
In fact even after Himanshi left he didn't join Rashmi.It was only after Bhau left and Zariwala flipped he started getting closer to Rashmi. By that time Arhan was back and he manipulated him into joining Rashmi. Arhan knew how popular Asim is.
Rashmi could no way take on Shukla despite having Salman's support and channel's support(Channels preferred rivalry Shukla Vs Desai).She is riding on Asim's shoulders
Asim was never treated so badly by the host before but ever since he joined Rashmi Salman is just going on and on.
I really hope Asim's brother tells him distance himself from Rashmi
