After critic Anupama Chopra criticised Chetan Bhagat's tweet wherein he called out "snob and elitist critics", the latter responded. "When your husband [Vidhu Vinod Chopra]...bullied me, tried denying me credit for my story and drove me close to suicide, where was your discourse?" Chetan wrote. In 2010, Chetan and Vidhu were involved in a controversy over credit for '3 Idiots'.
