I think they wanted them to be a couple. Sonali started it when she talked to Parneet about it. She told him that "she wants to know Gautam Gulati- not the contestant but the guy himself" something along those lines. So Parneet gave him a lecture. Soon, the other P2 found about it so they started teasing him and started setting them up. So, Gautam started flirting with her coz he was being teased all the time.
Today in LF, he said that he followed through with their requests because he did not want to reject a girl on National TV and that it would look bad on the girl if he rejected or said no. But I guess what he didnt realize was that it was giving him a bad image. So, although, he started the fake romance- he soon realized the negative implications it had. So, he stopped flirting with Sonali.
He also said that he will keep distance from her (which is awesome). But he is just upset that she is being really friendly with Upen now when Gautam said he doesnt wanna go anywhere with this love angle. So, as far as I understand, he is pissed that she can just move on without uttering a word and according to him "was probably using me for footage".
So, I dunno why housemates were forcing him. But I know it started with Sonali saying something to Parneet and Parneet giving him a long lecture in a late overnight conversation.
However, all is well that ends well. I am glad Gaunali is over coz it was stupid anyways.
