What will Gautam do? He'll be heart broken, and literally lonely. Howsoever much Puneet backstabs him/sells him out, Gautam has time and again always only put faith in Puneet. He really treats Puneet as a father figure and tbh only has heart to heart talks with him. For the dude's sake, eliminate one of Praneet, Sonali and Minisha (they all suck anyway).
