The way things are going right now, plus the rumor that they will have 7-8 finalists, I'm worried that Mahira won't be eliminated until the last day itself!
But I really hope she is because that is the LAST big dynamic shift triggering elimination that can happen. Aarti & Shefali J's evictions will be pretty inconsequential in the big picture. Madhu/Vishal get alot of footage due to their drama but I don't think anybody even remotely expects them to win the show. Sid, Asim, Sana, Rashmi are destined for the finale. Bagga is out. That leaves just PaHira.
Paras is total trash, but the truth is he is at least interesting. He is the villain of this whole thing, but he is intriguing as a person even if he doesn't have alot of fans and is not going to win the show. Mahira, on the other hand, is 100% not interesting and many already feel that she overstayed her welcome by now.
So, I think given the high-voltage SidNaaz fight (which seems to be a step above the usual "nok-jhok" 🤢), and the fact that Sana has been openly speaking up against Paras, now would be an amazing time for Mahira to leave the show. It would switch things up entirely. Paras would become lonely and would likely become super close with Shukla, Shukla and Sana already spend all day together even if they are fighting, and we all know Sana is forever torn between the two.
The way things are going, I'm afraid the makers are going to keep Mahira around DESPITE it being better for the show itself for her to leave just to keep Shukla happy. 🤣 But I really hope I'm proven wrong and Mahira leaves this week. That would make the last month really exciting to watch, especially to see not just the Sid/Paras/Sana situation, but also to see how Rashmi/Asim react to the changing dynamic. They will probably get close to Sana, I think, which will again annoy Shukla to no end!
