This did not go well with many Twitter users. Anupam Kher also lashed out on Chetan and tweeted, “Dear @chetan_bhagat! With this tweet, you are not only belittling yourself but millions of Indians. Both Hindus and Muslims!! In the last 72 years, India has achieved phenomenal success in almost every field. This tweet is just a smart tweet but far from the truth.:) #NotCool”

Chetan Bhagat, who has always given it back to the trollers, very politely made Anupam understand what he meant by his tweet. he replied, “Aapki baat sahi hai sir but why are we still doing Hindu Muslim even now? It’s heartbreaking.”
