Well, I will never deny the fact that Chetan Bhagat made India read. From 5 Point Someone’s epic story to 2-States, he has touched topics that our generation would truly relate to.
That truly gave him a voice and made him the most revered Indian authors on Twitter. But being as followed as he is on his social media, Bhagat has always had a hard time putting his point forward. Because more often than not, Twitter shuts him down.
Bhagat has always used his Twitter to put controversial opinions forward and it has backfired, badly. Remember the time when he tried talking about demonetisation?  In spite all that, he has managed to acquire 10 Million followers on Twitter. And in the spirit of celebration, he tweeted this,
Thank you guys for the 10million pic.twitter.com/QuOpd9bc1W

Now I am not against celebration, but some things that he put in the picture, like “no pouting selfies, no cleavage photos, no child of someone famous, no cricketer, no actor or model,” actually ended up belittling A LOT of people. For example, a cricketer, an actor or a model.
Not just his 10 Million followers, but many others trolled him for this tweet. Check it out!
1. Who’s funny now?

With great power, comes great responsibility. 10 million followers will expect 10 million times better. Agreed?
