and yeah i completely agree with u....in this process he will get close with gauri...but wont accept it...and if and wen sum1 points it out to him that he is started it like her...just to prove that person rong...or even himself rong....he will take it a step further and have the affair with ipshita...to show gauri she means nothing to him....and also give satification to himself that he is not getting attracted towards her....wen really from the inside he is...but for his ego...he will do it...
