#ChetanBhagat is a best-selling author and columnist. In this interview with Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, he discusses his new book #OneArrangedMurder, his journey as a Delhi boy, and the latest controversies in India today.

Starting off, Chetan explains that One Arranged Murder is a murder mystery set in Delhi. When asked about his transition from coming-of-age romance to two murder mysteries back to back, Chetan says he owes it to his “personal evolution and a widening creative canvas”. Through suspense, he says, he believes he can gauge interest. On the book’s subtexts, he says, “I like to give an undercurrent of what is happening in the country.”

Abhinandan and Chetan also discuss the #TanishqAd controversy, BJP, international reception of Indian books and the role of the media in promoting his work.
