Looking to check BTG holding.
Please suggest a good wallet that I can use for same.

To receive BTG you must have at least btc in your wallet. It is proportional to btc to have a btg in your wallet alone. I haven't receive any tokens during the hardfork. I don't know why maybe the wallet I stored my btc wasn't supported the hardfork. It was very sad into my part.

Yes, it is probably the case. In any fork like that exchange or wallet decides whether it will support the fork. As for bitcoin gold, I read that bitfinex and bittrex gave their users extra btg but I don't know on which conditions (I thought one decides whether to use btg or btc in these cases and doesn't get purely free bitcoin gold to start with, but I might be deeply wrong), because I have never claimed my coins in forks. Btg is deeply down already, so I guess you shouldn't worry about it anyway.

Temporary forum vacation

Please learn to use Google search a little bit better or look around this forums. There are plenty of threads created with the same topic. Besides, do not trust what people tell you here! But, to summarize and help you on your way:

1. Make sure you control your own Bitcoins.
2. Head over to the official Bitcoin Gold website at https://btcgpu.org
3. Read their how-to guide
4. Wallets that support BTG are all on the front page.

I'm entitled to believe that you cannot actually use one for both BTC and BTG, however, I might be wrong

I have BTC already in Coinomi wallet.
Question is about BTG, which forked out few days back.
