Chetan Bhagat gets 'exposed' and offers 'caring advice'¡ªbut it's his grammar that's got people trolling him

Chetan Bhagat is a name familiar to many Indians, known for his bestselling novels like Two States and Five Point Someone, which have also been adapted into successful films. However, he¡¯s recently come under fire after a social media outburst aimed at an X user raised eyebrows about his grammar skills, leading some to question his expertise despite his literary fame.

While Chetan Bhagat is a well-known author, his writing isn't everyone's cup of tea¡ªoften appealing to a specific audience.

Recently, an X (formerly Twitter) user named Gabbar, who clearly isn't a fan of Bhagat's writing, took a jab at the author, dismissing his work as "bus-stand literature" and accusing him of being desperate.

He claimed that Bhagat's career trajectory was a desperate scramble and that "his ideas & articulation come from the same Bus stand he built his career from. So now he is a motivation guru. It's a cry for help."

Check out his tweet below:

Once Chetan Bhagat¡¯s Bus-stand literature ran its course. The guy turned desperate. Tried to align with Modi RW, didn¡¯t get much say, then tried becoming a election expert, nobody let him speak in the studio, or shut him down in 2 mins, now he realised it¡¯s profitable going¡­

Bhagat fired back, dismissing Gabbar as irrelevant and sarcastically acknowledging the critique with, "Rule of life. only those beneath you will hate on you. this bro replies to every tweet of mine to get attention so here you go bro."

rule of life. only those beneath you will hate on you. this bro replies to every tweet of mine to get attention so here you go bro. You got me. Gosh, so accurate. I am exposed! Here's your attention for the day to feed your damaged self-esteem. Now go get a life. https://t.co/4FIXtaDvYx

Bhagat accepted the claim that he was exposed, "You got me. Gosh, so accurate. I am exposed! Here's your attention for the day to feed your damaged self-esteem. Now go get a life."

Gabbar's retort was simply, "Nothing hurts like truth."

Chetan Bhagat is triggered. Nothing hurts like truth.

But Bhagat's next response is what's really gone viral. Take a look:

He exposed me! Oh dear.

This chintu once begged me once to unblock him. He used to be fun. So was shocked to see him like this. Sad to see how pathetic he¡¯s become. I don¡¯t get triggered chintu. I apply my mind. You are a joke and we laughed at your expense. Get ur mental¡­ https://t.co/fJO9fwMd3c

He even threw in some unsolicited advice: "Get ur mental health checked. Am v serious. This is a caring advice."

How did people react?

Ignoring whatever @GabbbarSingh believes in, here are the English grammar mistakes in your post (Don't find mistakes in mine, but it doesn't suit an experienced writer like you). Maybe you didn't proofread?

1. "This chintu once begged me once to unblock him."

Another commenter wrote, "@GabbbarSingh be like - Thanks for the caring advice, Chetan! I will get my mental health checked right after you get your writing checked."

Gabbar's response to Chetan's latest post? "Humble suggestion. May be tweet 5 more tweets to prove to everyone you are not triggered. That will do it."

Humble suggestion. May be tweet 5 more tweets to prove to everyone you are not triggered. That will do it.
