If the nominations play out the way we’ve seen from the promos then Sid nominates Paras, Asim, Rashmi, Bhau and Shefali( all stronger then Himanshi, Arti, Mahira).
Why I say Shukla played this way is he wants a strong competition out and for him it’s basically either Asim or Paras.
Rashmi and Asim are the new additions to this weeks list. Shefali and Bhau got more votes than paras last time, Shukla knows Rashmi is very popular. But he has no idea about Asim’s popularity at all( no one in the show does) so by these nominations what he expects are the bottom two will be Paras and Asim and one of them will be surely out.
So yes all those saying Sid nominated Asim knowing he’s strong are just blinding yourselves. There’s no friendship left between them and Sid wants either paras or Asim out.
I’m not criticising Sid at all in this post, as much as I don’t like him. Game wise- super smart move!
