Why's Rashmi lagging behind on SM?

What could be the reason? I've been huge fan of hers since Uttaran days. She's a huge star of ITV. Can never forget the craze around Tapasya Thakur back in those days. She has big fanbase outside BB but why she couldn't make it big in BB? As much as I like her as a person, she's not meant for a show like BB. She was lost in the crowd in the first quarter of the season, was in the background, she had no gameplan or play in the first month. Why did she take backstep? She didn't know what to do. She seemed clueless and confused. and that Arhaan totally sucked the life outta her & burdened her so much that he pulled her down, she used to look so gloomy all the time, couldn't play or concentrate on the show!

Her decision of doing BB has been the biggest mistake of her career. She was getting some hype & great support and votes on Twitter polls midseason till Arhaan's re-entry cost her everything IMO! Even a superstar like Hina had a big fandom of her own on SM in S11 even though majority of viewers were rooting for Shilpa then why not Rashmi? There's hardly been even decent growth on her social media accounts or FB page!

Her BB stint has been underwhelming tbh.. She's always the least vote gainer be it Twitter, Insta, FB, YouTube!

Idk about off-line votebank but her online fan-support isn't big enough!

See this season is lacking strong woman i have always said this rashmi is not sherni she needs constant support of others to fight her battle and she knows how to use and manipulate people for her benefit there is absolutely no angel going on with her game and i always feel her game is mostly against shukla i know it is shukla who pokes her but she burst only when there is strong male support beside her and i do understand she is being cautious of her image too like i dont watch episode but today was her chance to fight with sana when sana said i will tell everything about you and rashmi she can have easily fought with shehnaaz and told her off not to come between her and shukla and she then could have easily manipulated housemates against shehnaaz she could have fought with shehnaaz of being robot to shukla and calling her jealous in this way she is not targeting shukla but shehnaazz i dont appreciate her thinking only a support can save her many time devo also told her this things learn to fight and learn to say no she can easily win if she emerges out as a strong woman without support and fight with people at right time and give it back at that moment.

The first few weeks of BB is crucial. That is when viewers start picking their faves and MOST viewers then tend to stick to their faves no matter what. Once viewers get attached to a contestant its hard to shake off. Rashmi became like a turtle she started with a bang but was portrayed as negative someone who has a single point target Shukla.

Then after constant negative feedback she went back into her shell and cooled off. Arhaan honestly did her no favors on the show. If anything he hampered her game more than helped both times.

NOW in the last leg ab jaake form me aani shuru hui he rashmi but it may just be too late now. By now audiences have chosen their faves and not many neutrals left for rashmi to get in her corner. Even now most people cannot figure out the real rashmi and what she is REALLY like as a person. Shukla with all his flaws and vileness atleast we clearly SEE the kind of person he is. Rashmi is still a mystery to me and many others even now when the season is almost towards the end.

but Shilpa's fanfollowing went next level from midseason as far as I can remember. I mean she always had biggest fan-support but from 7th week it was like unprecedented fanfollowing on SM.

I'll repeat... It's due to weak pr. She hasn't invested good amount in pr activities. Recently shehnaaz's votes has started increasing in twitter polls even though she is no where near asim or shukla. Fan activity contains both fans and bots in sm.

I'll agree that after firat finale she was totally behind and there was no game. Rightnow she is doing good and anyway one thing I'm sure she is not in top2.

not only Rashmi but TV's another so called popular Bahu Devo hardly has any fans . i was shocked to see it . whatever the support she got or gets now on twitter is from Asim fans . infact Rashmi has more fans than her . When she compared Sana to her dog and she was bashed , there was not a single Devo fan who was defending her . but Rashmi has her PR too.

in BB both Rashmi and Devo couldn't connect to the audience so no fan following . whatever little bit fans they have , they are from their shows or they are anti shukla but mostly Anti Shukla people are supporting Asim not them .

"she was shown negative" is no excuse . Hina was shown much more negative but she had crazy fan following .

Ss also had full salman backing and support during wkv. She also started showing her personality shades from day 1 so audiences started connecty with her from the very beginning and it just took off from there. Rashmi is nowhere even close to shilpa in revealing shades of her personality.

SS always played on the front foot and never got scared of nominations or eviction. Nor did she worry about her image. It let her play more freely and she connected with a large chunk of audience from the start. Rashmi is the opposite. Too timid, too conscious, too afraid and just not made for BB because people who are afraid to let their guard down are NOT made for BB.

Rashmi started out as the strongest woman but then BB team and guests kept telling her to stop arguing, fighting and talking about sid. So she stopped and then she broke down because of personal problems and personal relationship with sid. As I said before, if her and sid didn't have a personal relationship, they were just coworkers, she would've been the strongest contestant. But now she's weak because he is putting her down using their personal relationship.
