Asim-Rashami related issue is scrutinized & stretched not just by makers, jhalla host but also fandoms (not saying I am any different)
Sure I am supporting Asim only not just for his innate goodness one of the biggest reason is him being a gamer which TBVH Rashami isn't (so she ain't my type), but I adore their bond alot so trying to be as objective as I can
Start of the episode when Bhai entered through meTV Asim mast leta hua tha, Rashami said uth bethey were happy grinning from ear to ear till 2070 task, when Salman announced Ranking task they were still cheerful then Rashami said ki "Sir, aapsi sehmati se hua toh main aur Asim toh baahar hain, and Asim seconded that" I guess that's when Salman took the opportunity to bash them over their biased BB rebellion.
Cut to ranking Rashami was completely zoned out Asim was continuosly speaking words of encouragement to her so softly even rubbing her hand time to time, heck he even clapped when she impulsively did her ranking placing him on 4th and he said sweetly, "dekho karliya apne easy toh tha"
Coming to Arti bhadkaoing Asim against Rashami bit, we have to consider his state of mind also coz akeli Rashami bash hui ho is not possible while he is dheethbut agar ek generic statement pass kardi over something which could be disappointing to him, big deal overall I found him quite dismissive of Arti's rants the way he walked off although I am sure he was made to feel guilty regarding giving Arti laxatives matter no wonder he sat through her rant
.
Towards the end Rashami did say sabke saamne that her priority in the house is Asim only.
Like I said COTW ke time their faces said it all, was a 3 fold tactic by karamjale makers to demotivate Asim-Rashami, edit out to avoid backlash, to avoid sympathy and love in bulk for them still attacking them surreptitiously,
Rashami might be more affected and seemed lost coz she has more baggage reputation wise hope she recovers while Asim like we say is dheetest one out there was evident in the way he tacked COTW, but even he seemed bogged down, still his recovery time and resilience is simply fab.
