From IIT Delhi Alumni to Social Media Stars: Bhagat's Playful Tribute

Chetan Bhagat, best known for best‑selling novels like “2 States” and “Half Girlfriend,” turned his attention to social platforms on Thursday, joining a trend popularised by Anupam Kher. Together with fellow IIT Delhi graduates, he filmed a short reel set to the revived hit song “Mere Mahboob Kayamat Hogi.” The video mirrors the choreography first seen in Kher’s clip with Boman Irani, Praveen Dabhas and Ranveer Shorey, and quickly gained traction among fans who enjoy seeing literary figures step into the world of Instagram challenges.
