After several reports emerged on Chetan Bhagat's Half-Girlfriend being inspired from an English play authored Bihar scholar Dr Birbal Jha's book Englishia Boli, the author has slammed the media for exaggerating to create sensation.
He also requested the media to practice restraint and cross check the facts before publishing such baseless stories.
Take a look at his tweets where he takes on the media
Stunned media takes on any story with no credibility as long as it is sensational. Facing the brunt of it.
— Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) November 23, 2014 Some random person somewhere makes a 'plagiarism' charge, somebody whom I do not know or am familiar with their work. Media carries it.
— Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) November 23, 2014 Plagiarism is a serious charge, and one can simply compare two published works and see if it exists. Nobody bothered to do that.
— Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) November 23, 2014 I have been writing for over 10 years and have been blessed by readers. never needed plagiarism, and is unthinkable for me.
— Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) November 23, 2014 I will not dignify baseless and senseless reporting, and that is why enough said. And no, I have not plagiarized my look from Rahul Gandhi.
— Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) November 23, 2014 I have also had others claiming Half Girlfriend defames them or whatever. It is FICTION. Fake. No real names. No intent to defame. Chill.
— Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) November 23, 2014 There's a girl called Riya who feels I have written Half Girlfriend for her and is stalking me. Other guys feel Madhav is them.
— Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) November 23, 2014 Will request the media to show restraint even though it is a slow news week. I don't seek controversy or publicity. Hence, let things be.
