Strange that people couldn't get the game they played. It was the best thing they could have done considering the situation.
Both Rashmi and Asim had the first priority to save Vishal. It was Vishal who realized they need one more support. Asim checked with Sana and she refused point blank. They knew that there is no one else in house who could support them. Rashmi suggested Aarti's name stating that Vishal could ask for Arti's vote against him voting (saving) Arti. They analyzed the situation for sometime and realized that she wouldn't save Vishal at any cost.
It was then Vishal said wo bhi nhi degi kuchh Naya sochte Hain. They had understood by now that saving Vishal was impossible hence they started thinking of a plan B. It's an old saying that to make line smaller without erasing it, one need to draw a longer line nearby, so now ensure that the nominated Vishal isn't weak they needed to have weaker players in the nomination- Mahira and Shefali. Either of them if saved meant high probability of Vishal getting vulnerable.
They planned the move very calculatively, Vishal was the first one to go and save Sana. Everyone thought that it was his attempt to get Sana's vote but that surely wasn't the case. The reason of Vishal going first was simply a hope against hope that Sana might make up the mind to save him in lieu. Had she done that Rashmi and Asim would have simply saved Vishal, but she didn't do that and others started mocking at their failed strategy not realising that this wasn't their expectation but a simple hope. They had only one gamble that she doesn't vote for Mahira or Arti since by then already 3 votes had gone and 2 were theirs which anyway they would have used collectively. So Shefali getting three votes was next to impossible since both Arti and Paras would in no case have voted for Shefali.
So just at the time of Shukla's vote Asim started saying that he would vote for either Arti or Mahira thereby inflating her ego all the more. Confusion of Shukla about number of people he could save worked in their favour, he voted for Arti thinking he would also vote for Sana. This angered Sana, so Aarti was out of question to be voted also now Sana had to show that she is loyal to Shukla so she voted for Shukla and bam, they now knew that both Mahira and Shefali are nominated increasing the chance of Vishal getting saved. So mission accomplished. You could have seen the laughter of Visim when Paras was celebrating their failed strategy after Sana saved Shukla. They were like bachhe Tumne strategy samjhi Kahan hai
Now Rasim had to vote for somebody, saving Shefali Aarti or Mahira meant vulnerable Vishal, so they went to Sana who right now with her bruised ego needed a shoulder. They know that Sana can't be trusted, but her not being trustworthy and helping was better than anyone not being trustworthy and also not helping so they saved her and she actually helped them in captaincy task (maybe they went wrong in captaincy task but that's different issue,)
Plus saving Sana also brought some brownie supporters of Vishal-- the Sana fans who now are angry at Pahira and Aarti and might feel like returning to Vishal as ViRaSim saved their favourite from nominated.
With the limited resources they did all that they could have done to save Vishal.
It was the other group who failed in the task which could be viewed as a tailored fit to suit them. They ended up nominating all weak members of theirs.
Although at the end Paras understood their plan thereby saving Shukla so that his fans would vote for Pahira. Had Rasim waited till the end to open their cards and show that they were to save Sana probably Paras in his delusion that all will be nominated and hence no tension, would have actually voted for Mahira (even if it meant that she wasn't safe) then it would have been a sureity that Vishal was saved. But OK not everyone can think so deep before acting
