![]() ![]() Prior to the couple’s decision to get married, Bhagat offers the readers an in-depth look into the premarital relationship of the two, which caught me by surprise. However, the book was still a great read. It follows the storyline of any typical Bollywood movie, I wish I could say there were dramatic deviations from this fact, but there wasn’t. The novel focuses on the love story of a Tamil girl, Ananya and a Punjabi boy, Krish, who were on a mission to get married. After reading “2 States,” I can vouch for all the hype that surrounds Bhagat. Two of his novels have even inspired Bollywood movies, “3 Idiots” being one of them. He has also earned the title of “the biggest-selling English-language novelist in India’s history” by the New York Times. I was very excited to explore this novel, especially, since it allowed me to get a glimpse of what kind of stories my cousins in India enjoy and can relate to.Ĭhetan Bhagat is on the rise among the younger generation in India and has written five best-selling novels so far. I was even more pleased because both my cousin and his wife had already read the book and could not stop raving about it. Naturally, I was very pleased when my cousin gifted me “ 2 States” as a going-away present. I always love stocking up on South Asian literature when I take trips to India and my relatives living there have picked up on this. ![]()
