Here is my take on Sidharth saving Paras in Promo. This is just based on what I have seen and not going with some assumptions made here that he probably had saved Sana first. I do not want to go there and get my hopes high in case it didnāt happen. My take comes in two POV.
First POV
As a Shehnaaz fan, Iām happy that Sidharth did not save her. She has been questioned a lot during press conference about how she wanted Sid to be there for her, save her from nominations and etc. Literally, she has been accused for using him to up her game which is not true. She has been called flipper by media again and again for going to another team, saving their members but in return she expect Sidharth to safe for her during nominations. We all knew he did a blunder in last nomination so, I forgive him for his mistake. Sidharth saving Paras over Sana helped to erase some of the accusations the media threw at her. She is not a game for him. If he has saved her, she would be known for being in game because of his merhabani. Sana is capable to beat Paras, Aarti, Mahira because of the immerse support she is getting from the audiences.
Most important, Sana did not react as he didnāt place her as his first priority and saved Paras instead of her. If she would have reacted, she would prove the allegations were true. Iām happy that she didnāt react. She can show her hurt but I donāt want her to be loud and scream her displease.
Second POV
As a Sidnaaz fan, Iām not really happy with his decision but I think, I probably understand Sidharthās intention. All 4 are friends and one is dearest to him. He can safe Shehnaaz and take all the credit here for being mahaanin her eyes instead he choose to safe Paras. Sidharth canāt choose Aarti. Sana wonāt be happy. We have seen the result 2 weeks ago when he saved Aarti by mistake.It was one of the worst week for him. They are close to final, he canāt afford hiccups in their relationship. He canāt choose Mahira either. Sana wonāt likeit. Back then, the housemates filled her ears that he favoured Mahira more than her. If Sidharth has saved Mahira, it going to backfire on him. The best he can do here is safe Paras. By saving Paras, he will be able to test Shehnaaz. I know you will not agree as this test is not required. But letās not forget, Sidharth insecurity and possessiveness is on different level bearing in mind Shehnaaz had crush on Paras and the age factor. He probably want to see how it will go if Mahira has been evicted. He wanted to see if Paras Sana equation would change or she would remain unaffected.
In my opinion, Sidharth played for Shehnaaz and his heart. He cleared the allegations that she came this far not because of him. Everybody flip in game as he proved, Sidharth Shukla flipped. He closed Aarti chapter here.
