Didn't those realisations and subsequent apologies happen in the weekend episodes with Salman? Those are different primarily because of the fact that it's Salman and not some normal individual housemate so the two scenarios are different. Unless i'm missing something I've never seen him take criticism unless cornered and hounded by others.
Wow now you have to pick out in whose presence does he accept criticism? In that regard should' t that be harder? to be corrected and ridiculed in front of India's super star?- Let me tell you some HMs like Upen and Tanna have NEVER accepted the criticism Salman gave em or even apologized for it.
Coming back to Gautam point - you probably don't watch the show closely perhaps- Puneet has many times corrected Gautam on little things and Gautam accepts it because Puneet's intentions are unquestionable and clean for Gautam.
Diandra wasn't talking to Gautam for the longest time after the mirchi task, she had criticized, complained about him to almost every HM and spoke ill of him all the time despite that, he extended the friendship hand first during the Gotham city task.
Praneet! is the biggest example yet- He always called Gautam negative and criticized for no substantial reason despite that Gautam would forgive and carry on in a friendly manner.
We can go on further with little things- its just silly to think that a person who would never accept criticism can have the strength to come this far in the game and be liked by majority of the viewers. Humility is an important quality in a bouquet of other qualities Gautam exhibits and those that his supporters admire - You can't just walk away giving him absolutely no credit for it.
