When did Arunita start really getting popular on SM?
For that answer you have to review the uploads on the worst and most unethical YouTube channel which is hugely popular - "The Great Videos"!
* This channel started covering the show with a focus on Sawai on 29/12/20.
* It continued with Sawai as most popular till 4/2/21 when it introduced Pawan.
* Sawai and Pawan remained its mainstay till 22/2/21.
* Arunita entered the picture on 25/2/21 with Pawan.
* After Aru's entry the channels interest in Sawai dwindled and his last coverage was on 21/3/21 as back up to Arunita.
* Pawan meanwhile became important not as a solo artist but in duets - real or imaginary, with Aru.
* Arunita really took centre stage from 4/3/21 and continues to be the main protagonist for them.
*The channel has no interest in any other contestant, whosoever.
So, my reading is that Arunita's popularity started a steep upward climb from late February, early March. Her becoming top voted since end March reflects that.
The channel is filthy, but immensely impactful. It's top 5 Idol uploads have over 7.7Million average views (highest: 9.6M). It covers a segment that must be mainly less-educated younger demography. These people actually vote, and the numbers viewing this channel are too large to ignore.
