Chetan was a clown: Wife Anusha

Over a decade ago, Tamilian girl Anusha Suryanarayanan fell for Punjabi boy Chetan Bhagat on the campus of Ahmedabad's Indian Institute of Management (IIM). And yes, she didn't like Chetan for his love for books and huge intellectual aspirations. Instead, it was Chetan's sense of humor and ability to spot the lighter side of things that helped them interact easily and made Anusha grow fond of him. "He was a clown in campus, and I'd crack up at his jokes while the other guys were too busy studying or trying to impress me," she recalls. While this is how Chetan was years back, wife Anusha also gives us a sneak peek into how much he has changed over the years. "He is still driven by his inner self-belief and is very caring; but he's become a bit tougher as a person now I feel, in order to deal with putting his views and his writing out there." The duo are portrayed by Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor in the film ‘2 States’.
