Shukla was clearly provoking and forcing Arti to make an issue out of the whole FD thing (when in reality Asim had said it for all of the Shukla mandali members) not because he cares for her but because he wanted to look like a hero who took stand for a woman... this guy doesn't care for anyone else apart from himself.
If Shukla was her well wisher he would never want her to break down the way she did. He wanted her to cry just so he gets to score a brownie point over Asim...Shukla is a very petty man.
