I was wondering maybe two weeks ago who Hira's real friends were in the house, and now it seems even more relevant. Some said Noirin might have been a friend as she supported her against Siavash. I think Noirin only probably cared for herself, but she left anyway having isolated herself when Issac came in. Tom said he felt he could have good conversation with her but he walked relatively quickly.

The other new HMs you would have thought might have had a bond with her having come into the house together. Bea however latched herself onto Freddie, David to Lisa (smokers), and Ken soon walked.

Hira said the last two tasks helped break the ice more for her, but there still seems to be something of a gap between her and the others. There are cultural differences, she doesn't drink alcohol and doesn't wear a bathing costume. These may have caused some of the separation.

Early on it looked like she might start a friendship with Rodrigo, but he already occupies alot of his time with Sophie and Charlie and that has meant less time for her.

Last night it was like she was considered not to exist as the HMs made a racket in the BR and turned the lights on eventually. Even those not involved in that who were in the BR such as David and Lisa just seemed to ignore her. Maybe she needed to express her frustration at them instead of just keeping quiet, the louder you are in the BB house the more attention you will get.

Hira is a confident, self-assured housemate who has no difficulty socializing within the group. She seems to interact entirely on her own terms, and is the least likely housemate to join any group.

The way she brushed Bea aside to gain the role of Alice with a direct and concise reason was breathtaking in it’s execution; you were the Goddess of Love – I’m being Alice!!!

She is her own person but most of them seem to like her although Marcus and Siavash clearly don't trust her. Bea seems to have a lot of respect for Hira and so too does Lisa and Rodrigo. The only thing I don't like is that, for her own reasons, she tends to vote as if a member of Team Lisa. Apart from that I love her and want her in the final night.

Without daytime LF we don't know who she talks to. But i think she gets on with most if not all. Did she receive any nominations?

Yeh I understand the LF issue but we can't do anything about that. Of course she gets on with people, what I'm saying is does she have a really close friend in there?

Well, without LF, it's impossible to say who she does or doesn't talk to.
However, it's pretty clear from what we have seen that she gets on pretty well with everyone.
She exercises with Sophie.
She seems to have a good rapport with David. (This doesn't surprise me as they are both interested in fashion.)
Both Bea and Freddie have expressed concern for hurting or upsetting Hira. (Freddie was pleased that Hira hadn't been around to see the David/Marcus spat, and Bea was worried that her discussion of her own sexual exploits might offend Hira.) This suggests to me that they both care for her.

Remember that even with LF, BB relationships often slip under the radar. The example I've been using this year is Mikey and Rachel: it surprised a lot of FMs to discover halfway-through that they were friends (and some refused to believe it.) It was only after the series-end that we discovered they had been close since week one...
