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 didn’t happen. My take comes in two POV.
First POV
As a Shehnaaz fan, I’m 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 didn’t place her as his first priority and saved Paras instead of her. If she would have reacted, she would prove the allegations were true. I’m happy that she didn’t react. She can show her hurt but I don’t want her to be loud and scream her displease.
Second POV
As a Sidnaaz fan, I’m not really happy with his decision but I think, I probably understand Sidharth’s 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 can’t choose Aarti. Sana won’t 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 can’t afford hiccups in their relationship. He can’t choose Mahira either. Sana won’t 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 let’s 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.
