Sidharth’s bond with Shehnaaz, his constant tussles, and his enthusiasm to win tasks has made him a firm favorite throughout the season. The fact that host Salman Khan has often shown his support for Sidharth has only worked in his favor. Several former contestants, however, have said that Sidharth winning would set a bad precedent for the show, in which physical violence is not allowed.
Meanwhile, Asim is the underdog of the season. He came into the show without a large fanbase, and made his own mark on the show. He even got an endorsement from wrestler and actor John Cena in the process. He often got into nasty fights with Sidharth, for which he even apologized later on.
