Journey with your favourite contestant

Coming towards my favourite, it has been gautam since the beginning of the show. When the show started I didn't know of him and had not seen his previous show. When I saw him in the opening episode, he seemed like a good chilled out guy and above all extremely handsome.😳 As the show began, he became friendly with the entire lot and they all used to hang out in the plane days. Slowly I got to know his funny side and how he looked so adorable in the task where upen and gautam had to stay awake😆. Then he got close with diandra and their special friendship became the talk of the town. I really liked their bonding and healthy flirting. It seemed very cute and genuine. And then the most popular task of bigg boss 8 happened-the hijack task and the mirchi. The task that made gautam a hero in not only mine but everyone's eyes. I could see how genuinely sorry he was and apologised to karishma several times. That mirchi was unbearable and he couldn't control his irritation with it. I feel at that time he did get isolated by the house despite having apologised. He started bonding well with Pritam and they formed a good friendship. Slowly, Puneet, Pritam, Praneet and Gautam started spending time together, specially their late night sessions and funny talks which were highly entertaining for the audience. The boy bonding was amazing. Hence P3G was officially formed, when kamya and andy came as guests on one WKW. Gautam slowly and gradually started becoming comfortable with people. He found a special friend and confidante in Puneet and the journey of their friendship reached new heights. It really is selfless and above the game. Gautam saw a father figure and elder brother in Puneet and Puneet showed equal affection and care for him like he would for his son or little brother. In the makeup issue between Gautam and Karishma, Gautam again won people's hearts with him gesture of saving sushant and looking at more important matters rather than just make up. Salman was quoted as saying to karishma how actually gautam is a hero and not that you only made him one. Then another high point came with the Gautam city task. Instead of being a rude dictator, gautam sang songs and did all sorts of entertaining tasks with the housemates. After the mirchi task, gautam and diandra had gone aloof from each other and didn't talk at all. But this task finally broke the ice and they became close again and it showed their friendship and genuinity. Gautam also along the way won the hearts of sushant, arya and minisha at some point of time during the show. He had ups and downs in his friendship with Pritam and Praneet and P3g broke and again reconciled and Ali also joined the boys. The finale of bigg boss 8 saw a great performance by P3G putting a good depiction to their friendship. Along the way gautam also made friends with Dimpy and i liked their friendship too. Since they are the youngest in the house, their bonding and understanding was fun. Again their friendship went through ups and downs but ultimately now they have reconciled. So from a time when the house went against him to again a time when everyone started respecting him, acknowledging him. He was successful in winning their hearts again. Ali and Gautam's nok jhoks and chumma story was another hilarious episode in his journey. He also gained a great friend in Mehak and was happy to be around his friends from outside like Rahul and sambhavna and they all had some great times together. And as astonishing as it can be, even Karishma and Gautam became good friends till the end of the show. Throughout the show despite their difference they remained cordial and conserved normally most if not all the times. Upen and gautam also had a show down but later upen apologised when he came back and thereon gautam and upen saw a fresh start to their friendship. Sonali and Gautam's friendship also took the test of time and they are genuinely very adorable with each other.

Ultimately, gautam came as one of the most popular contestants in bigg boss. For me he is one of the most real contestants on screen. His innocence, the face that he's naive sometimes, his ability to tell things as is at people's face, his loyalty, his goodhearted, his looks, his cuteness, his oneliners etc were all highly entertaining and I absolutely fell in love with him. Stalking him on instagram, twitter.Call me biased or whatever but my feelings for the show and housemates changed as gautam's feelings changed. In these months I felt like bigg boss and gautam were a big part of my life. And now with the ending of the show I wish gautam all the best in his future career. He has the talent and capability to kick some major ass in both films and television. I also wish all the best to all the contestants. Here also i want to thank IF bigg boss forum and all members for all the live feed updates, pictures, spoilers, news and healthy discussions. We all fought and defended our favourites but ultimately i'll have good and healthy memories with the show.

Alright now sorry for the long essay, please share your memories. 😊
