Teja is playing a game, the only thing is she is doing it all her own and no alliance or discussion.
She is clearly not close to Umar, and wants to stay friends with Nishant and Pratik for her benefits. She may even be using Karan, and this WKW was perfect sone pe suhaga. Her dive in pool in middle of the night worked, her plan worked to gain sympathy.I say Teja for the win, while Karan thought he can play her and use her for love interest, she just turned the whole game on him😆
Her plan would've worked perfectly had Salman not decided to play the relationship counselor and put the entire blame on one while putting the other one on a pedestal.. she could've easily gotten the sympathy, had Salman not gone so overboard with praising her and bashing Umar and Karan.. Salman had called her fake and irritating ..now all of a sudden she is the most genuine one in the house..No one in the house will agree, not even Teja that she is the one controlled or tortured in their relationship.. She has also been insecure of Shamita Karan's bonding multiple times in the past and continues to do so..but the way Salman dealt with this whole matter, it resulted in the bulk of the sympathy as can be seen from the online reactions going in favor of Karan and Umar.. not Teja.
