This is what I wrote elsewhere:
I just watched the epi.
Mahek made a very telling statement. 'Give him space'. 'Let him relax'.
One of the pints people are using to criticize G is 'why did he have a delayed reaction'
Looking at the timeline of events, if is clear that while Ali was tormenting him, he tried to reason with him by reminding him to watch his words as he represents his family. Nothing unreasonable or below the belt there. When Ali still did not stop, he resorted to singing in order to drown out Ali. After that did not work he saw Sambhavna try to stop Ali and then saw Ali tell Sam to take Rahul away from there. Sam and Rahul very conveniently left after token protests. We don't know how long G had to endure Ali in his face alone but he did. Finally Ali and Sam had an argument after G was left alone and this period of the argument transferring to Sam allowed G to think clearly (as per his priorities not ours) and something snapped in him. He decided that this was not worth it and quit the task. He left the cage and went to the bathroom. Only Sam followed him in at this stage.
Of course Sacha acha Pritam made his token 'don't go Gsuram speech' before that.
After all celebrated then they went after G on bathroom. Pritam was first to try to 'clear' himself. G congratulated him and was trying very hard to compose himself and internalise everything. Only when everyone came to justify themselves and feign concern, did he breakdown at the duplicity. It was not over reacting. He could gave easily over reacted in the cage if that was his goal. Rahul ran to the kitchen to get him water and told KUA that G is crying. So when Ali and Upen enter the WR in a pack people saying G is fake because he took time to drink water and then react. Are people such fools that they can't see the editing and implied sequence of events in programming. Obviously U and A did not beat Rahul to the WR. Obviously G was drinking the offered water to calm down after his sobbing. When Ali cried so loudly with no tears in the smoking room last week it was obviously fake. G's sobbing was heart wrenching and real.
Mahek asked everyone repeatedly to give him space and let him Relax because he's tired but they were more concerned with their images. The guilt on Pritams face was apparent. Even Ali was so guilty that he needed Upen with him to speak to G. Why do they need to interact with him in packs. That itself us enough to make anyone feel cornered and alone.
Conveniently in the WR Sam tells G don't worry, I know you're tired and didn't mean what you said and then behind his back in BR she bitches about him, no less than Pritam. What the heck.
Upma was seen coaching Ali in The kitchen to go say it was task and I'm sorry just do Ali can repair his image and nullify Gautam's footage. Upen was more worried about the footage G was getting. Even Karishma, didn't come out if humanity to talk to G at the cage but she came to capitalise on the footage per Upens coaching. Let's not kid ourselves and be naive.
So to sum up, Gautam not only had the right reasons, but also his approach was completely natural and aligned with timeline of sequence of events.
