Sources at the Colors channel say Gauhar ran when she saw Kushal Tandon and jumped on him with a suffocating hug.
`It was definitely more than just a friendly hug,` says the source. `Arman, Kamya, Andy , everyone hugged Kushal on seeing him when he entered to the accompaniment of the song Budtameez dil. But Gauhar's hug was...very very physical and emotional.`
Strangely and inexplicably, Kushal(hitherto a television actor known only to those who warch soaps, now a household name) chose to ignore Gauhar.
Says the source from Colors, `He had brought gifts for everyone, for example a picture of Kamya's daughter, etc. But he had no gift for Gauhar. We also thought he was pointedly ignoring Gauhar .She took the snub in the right spirit. She sat at a distance watching Kushal's great friendly reunion with the other inmates including Armaan Kohli and Andy.`
While the source says Kushal's aloof behaviour towards Gauhar was `strange` a friend of Kushal spills the beans about the true intent behind the mask of indifference. `The whole idea is to build up a momentum in the relationship between the couple, from distance to proximity from the tepid to the torrid.`
Channel sources say Kushal and Gauhar are expected to be the `most in-love couple on camera since Veena Malik and Ashmit Patel.`
