Looks like Gautam and Sonali won't be happening

In yesterdays episode when Gautam and Sonali had their first little argument. Gautam said to Sonali that the way he treats her with jokes and stuff is they way he treats everyone else and that's nature. So does that mean when he use to flirt with her was just for fun? Do you think he likes her in the way she likes him?

If I say honestly, it gives an impression that they are trying hard to create a love story... They both look disinterested...Zabardasti ka romance angle create karne ki koshish kar rahe hain... Whenever they create those cozy moments, it looks utmost fake...
