It is no surprise that the Hindi flick ‘3 Idiots’ was inspired by Five Point Someone authored by Chetan Bhagat.
Bhagat looked like an idiot on Tuesday on social media after he declared that he has grown up believing India has no chance in singles tennis on the international level.
The outrageous comment came as he cheered India's Sumit Nagal who made an impressive Grand Slam debut, winning the first set against Roger Federer 6-4 and then stretching the legend to four sets in the opening round of US Open.
For the record and one hopes Bhagat is reading this, Nagal is the fourth Indian after Somdev Devvarman, Yuki Bhambri and Saketh Myneni to win a set in the main draw of a Grand Slam in 20 years.
But ignorant Bhagat promptly tweeted, “Grew up being told that India has no chance in singles tennis at the global level. Just now Nagal Sumit from my country won a set against The Roger Federer in the US Open. One day, India will win the Grand Slam too. Go Sumit Go!”
