No, I wouldn’t compare her to Shehnaz. Shehnaz did nothing but fool around the house and cling on to her man 24/7. Her idea of entertainment was having no strategy at all and act childish to attract public attention (which in mu opinion had become redundant and downright classless). She was a secondary contestant and could have never survived without Paras or Sid at her disposal.
Afsana is not the same. Her only connection is Karan, a brother-like figure to her. She doesn’t cling on to anyone as such. She has so much potential to put her best foot forward and slowly she will rise and shine. All she needs to do is buck up and stop whining about food all the time. She will go really far in the game, I’m sure. Afasana was not an unknown figure in the industry or amongst her fans. She became a huge overnight sensation with her Titliyaan song, way before BB happened. We can’t say the same about Shehaaz. We came to know about Shehnaz Gill ONLY after Hauli Hauli was played during the premiere episode of S13. Even if people recognized her as that girl in the video, how many really knew her or her name? Even now, her claim to fame is Sidnaaz. Afsana is much more independent and successful than that.
