This is the part that really baffles me, personally. If he was contracted to win, then they should have maintained the illusion of a level playing field at least. Instead they gave him a ton of advantages/privileges for absolutely no reason and actively tried to ruin his opposition's game. They literally told us (those of us who watch the show closely enough to notice) that Shukla is the king here. When Paras and Shukla went away for medical leave, the least they could have done was a Paras update like Shukla to maintain some sort of fair behavior.
In a big way, the obviousness of the bias and the unexpectedly yet perfectly balanced way he handled it made Asim a star. He maintained his cool infront of Salman, stayed humble, was first to apologize, yet never backed down, shouted his guts out whenever he felt it was needed and even delivered the iconic "camera-man ko chai shai pilao" monologue conveying to the audience he knows exactly what is happening with him & he agrees with our feelings about the show. 😆
Rashami and Sidharth are two equally popular stars. Not the most popular to ever enter the BB house ( Sidhu, Sree, Shweta Tiwari, Khali still take away the cake) but popular for sure.
So just think, Rashami was offered about 40 lakhs more from Shukla and had the condition of Arhaan as a contestant.
Which made me believe that only reason Shukla agreed for a lesser amount is because he was promised the winning amount and may also have some extra privileges as a condition in his contract.
The reason he was spared from wkv bashing is because they had to justify his win and people not very closely invested in the show would take things on the face value. Which means his biggest competitor would have to be under the radar which just happened to be Asim.
