What shows that how nomination goes in his mind and is the only thing important to him and his failed ways to try to manipulate and influence the process once more when Even in kitchen he said to Arya (regarding upen) 'ke nominate kar to diya aur ab kya chahiye' . That all goes on to showing he is not the shaant and nice guy that he seems to be, but is only sit behind at times to be safe and will ditch anyone in order to save himself from nomination and actually has no love or attachment for anyone, even when Puneet left the genuine love from Gautam and Pritam was apparent and Praneet was doing formality and clearly seen that he has no genuine attachment and said when Puneet was going 'yeh nahi hona chahiye tha' etc, for formality sake.
I liked him so much, but what is normally projected by him is not his real face, and has become apparent later or sooner.
(the above comments are not meant to hurt Praneet's fans, I used to like him a lot so much too, but now I could see that he is clearly not the nice person that he wanted to project his image to us all)
