The television actor won over audiences with his stint in the Bigg Boss house, and today boasts a fan following that few of his contemporaries can match.
During a recent Twitter chat with @BiggBoss, Gautam Gulati - or Gauti as he is fondly called - answered a few interesting questions about the current season. He also had a few tips for the contestants. If only they could access social media, they'd benefit from Gulati's advice. Take a look:

On what would he tell Bigg Boss if he met him
"I would say thanks for all the hurdles and problems and thanks for teaching me how to deal with them on my own, without any help." (sic)
On why the Bollywood song, Urvashi-Urvashi means so much to him
