Also, please provide the output of lsuser <username>. I dont have that installed on our system / I dont have sccess to it.
When I did testing with the data you have provided, it worked for me.
Code:
$ echo "Srini
> gecos=GOPALAKRISHNAN, GAYATHRI; 123/P/11111 ;gg@abc.com
> Random line again" | awk '/^gecos=/ {print $NF}' FS=';'
