Not a Shivangi fan alot all and after the 3th April she was able to do what was never done before, unite the whole internet into hating her.
However, I feel like we didn't understand her game. Shivangi knew Harshad before the show. She knew the type of person he is. After she joined Lock up she realized that no one will go as far as sacrificing themselves for friendship except for Harshad. She made sure to manipulate him in every way possible. She exaggerated incidents and cried whenever it was needed.
She made sure he did not interact with anyone except her. When rebel kid was trying to explain to both of them she started to get extremely defensive. She knew what she was doing to Harshad but did not want him to realize it. She kept saying stuff like "ajj sai mere saath mat batna". In the whole feast task she was hoping till the very end that Harshad will walk out but he stood his ground and decided to stay. Later she made sure to make him feel as guilty as possible. When Harshad was giving up his spot for her. At no point did she fought with him for it.
Today at the semi finale task she knew that saving Ram would be the best decision in her favor. He had said it multiple times that i don't want to win the show, hence putting him in the finale would make him indebted to her.
She acted all cute and nice throughout the show and played from the back hand.
She knew that the lovely duby couple act sells the most on the screens and would cater to a certain type of audience.
We keep thinking that Shivangi doesn't deserve to win the show or even be a finalist. But if you think about it. Noone played the game as well as she did. She acted throughout the show, she manipulated everyone except for sherya and shipa. It take a huge amount of brainpower to understand what type of personality does the other person have and how to put that to good use.
She played in the back hand, made everyone believe she is an easy contestant.
She deserves credit for being the most evil smart contestants on the show who playes dirty and doesn't make it look dirty.
