arrey yaar...just because he is sitting where he is...how can u jump to this conclusion... and as far as gautam gelling with the challengers is concerned:
1. they're new people...so maybe he wants to get to know them etc2. he's smart enough to understand that he'll b seen more is he's with them.3. get d new ones on his side and play his game...any of the above reasons and more seem logical...but nope i dont think he's a 'slave'
