Sorry Hippo but disagree with you. If you watch the episode carefully it all started over Pritam having some issue over Dimpy sitting. Gautam tried to talk to them in a civil manner with a low tone but Pritam started it all by flipping out, raising his voice and going on and on. This is how it all started. The instigator here was Pritam.
Actually Gautam didn't try to "talk" to anyone. He clearly said to Pritam to stop the game while he is talking to Samby and why is Pritam playing politics! I don't know about you but that's what I call instigation. He had accused Pritam of something so Pritam replied. If he wanted to simply "talk" as you said, he would've just said can we please pause the game for a second. Even though I don't see why they should listen to Gautam and do so. BB never said to stop the game.
