To an extent yes. BB waaleys had a probable picture of the finalists from the start, and they never expected Asim to became as popular as he is now. I think they are trying to make him again play a second fiddle to Sid (which he wont), by putting him in his group and by whatever feedback Kamya had from him. Cause, according to me, Asim emerged to be a strong contender only after he started to slowly separate himself from Sidharth.
I completely agree, even I started liking Asim only after he took his own stand and stood against Shukla.
While Rashmi is my favorite in the show, I will agree that Colors waaley have always wanted Sid-Rashmi in the top two (with Sid as the hero and Rashmi as the villain of the show), and in someways they are still trying to play with that idea. My dream top two is Rashmi-Asim ( which will never happen, so whatever) 
Again I agree, I would like to see Rashmi and Asim on either side of Salman khan. Kitne cute lagenge😆 But haan this is sheer daydreaming bcoz Sid ka spot is sealed😆
So now, the channel is trying to test out waters if they can lower Asim 's popularity by giving him less content. But I dont think their plan would work, and they would stop doing that in a week or so.
What I do not understand is that why on earth they are giving so much bhaav to Paras Mahira. Not many people really care about Mahira, and while Paras is definitely a good player they literally had to twist the eliminations multiple times to keep him from getting voted out.
Paras is required for the show and makers for some weird reason may feel Mahira going is a threat to Sidnaaz as she will run to Paras and he will not keep his distance after Mahira goes. So much Pahira overdose is a headache I swear.
