Is Chetan Bhagat The New Alok Nath On Television?

The latest addition to Chetan Bhagat's already heavy weight CV with IIT - IIM is his spot on the judging panel of Nach Baliye 7! 

 It was astonishing for his fans to see him as a reality show judge, that too for a dance show! His first stint at doing so has not gone down well with the audience. The show that stars couples (both married and unmarried) is taking drama to another level! 

Some of the contestants on the show, who married against the wish of their families or are together despite the disapproval of their family members became the epicentre for Chetan's dramatic comments. 

Whilehis fans were least expecting an Alok Nath kind of sermon from Bhagat on the show (who is loved for his love stories and relatable writing), Chetan looks like another Alok Nath in the making! 

Here's how the audience reacted! 

Chetan Bhagat's performance as judge on #NachBaliye7 tonight can be termed as, One Night At The LOL Center

Entertainment industry rule#1: what people say they want to see, vs what they actually see, may be quite different. Particularly on twitter.
