I believe Aly has saved Abhinav once for which he heard a earful from Salman previously and then this weekend too he choose Abhinav over Manu. In terms of personality, I love Abhinav the most but I don't like his non fighting spirit. Aly came after Abhinav to play for Jasmin and still made more alliances than him. Rubina voiced out on WKV that to be captain, you have to do chaploosi. I think Abhinav reflects this thinking. Agreed, that they don't want to do chaploosi but why not form alliances? Rakhi spend a lot of time with Abhinav initially and Arshi too. It was easy for RubiNav to form an alliance with them. But Rubina went against Rakhi - Arshi (& Kash) strategy in Duck task and Abhinav mis explained the rules to favour Nikki in captain task. Nikki is loyal to none and Arshi was right. Abhinav is stupid, not in terms of bookish knowledge, but in terms of reading people.
I am happy that Abhinav is finally playing for himself and standing up to his friends too if he has too. I hope he extends this for his personal and professional life too so that no one takes him for granted.
