I personally feel, everyone were in their own comfort zone till Paras provoked Asim regarding his state and brought Sid closer to Asim by talking about the former's drug habits.
Shehnaaz was an independant player and she stole the limelight from Rashmi, Devo and Mahira
Mahira too had her own identity. Both Shefalis contributed.
Not to mention Arhaan Khan...this man actually was the cause of Sidsim breakup.
The WCs Madhurima and Vishal gave their share of masala.
It was a volatile season full of extreme characters.
In terms of content, S11 had better contestants, apart from Hiten. Vikas topped the list. They were rangeen to the core.
Season 14 has no strong characters. Rahul has become some kind of a joker.
Rubina and Abhinav were Mr and Mrs almighty for a few weeks. These days they are pulled into some kind of a narrative and targeted by the makers.
Aly is trying to jaZz up Jasmine and BB14.
Kavita is the seasons biggest mistake
Eijaz can never be Sidharth Shukla. He is a good actor but needs a script. On his own cannot do anything. A big bore..
There is no Asim Riyaz Choudhary in this season
Nikki isnt Shehnaaz Gill
and there is no villian like Paras
Pavitra has potential but her biggest mistake is Eijaz. She could have taken panga with the color bahus instead of fake romance which ruined her game.
I still feel Jaan is saved bcos of Nepotism.
Thanks for the well-thought-out response.
Yes, totally agree! I focused on SidSim because I wanted to spotlight the fact that they are trying to elevate Eijaz in a similar way, to create a vibe in the house that he is being 'targeted' just like how everyone had a problem with Sid's attitude and Salman called it 'him running the show.' The fact that there is no Asim to counterbalance the heavy handedness of one sided narrative was my main intention.
But ya, without a doubt - season 13 was way more than just SidSim. To me, Sana was the clear number three in the show! She made things super interested not just with her own unpredictable nature, but even within the ongoing SidSim issues. She would side with Sid, and then flip to spite him, and then flip again to show her support, and Asim was very smart with shifting the game whenever she came on his side too. One of the season's most enduring memories is when the whole house was screaming calling Asim nalla and Sana was holding his hand walking him away. Iconic shit man, iss season mein toh nothing even close to that level of drama and interest. Paras and Mahira had a huge role to play as well! I still think Mahira should have Aarti's place in the finale. Even the Shefalis, ViRima, Bhau, infact even Abu and Dey - they ALL had a part to play!
