Chetan Bhagat asks fans to send him photos of his book, gets thoroughly trolled
To be honest, it's hard to imagine that Bhagat didn't see that coming.
Chetan Bhagat’s latest book, One Indian Girl, has been in the news for being slammed by critics for pandering to the very stereotypes that it claims to fight. But that hasn’t stopped India’s best-selling author from asking fans to show him a little bit of their love.

Soon enough social media users decided troll him by accepting his request but with an ironic twist. To be honest, it’s hard to imagine that Bhagat didn’t see that coming.

After a while, Bhagat had no choice but to accept the trollage of being an inevitable consequence of his actions.
