He asked the driver his favorite author, to which the driver replied 'Chetan Bhagat'.

Mocking the author, the user wrote, that the driver alone went to the festival while he traveled back to Mumbai.The user wrote, "Me: Bhaiya diggi palace chaloge?Autowala: Han han baitho, mai bhi wahi jaa raha huMe: Arey wah, aap bhi read karte ho?Autowala: Aur nahi toh kyaMe: Badhia hai. Achha, fav author kaun hai?Autowala: Chetan Bhagat*iske baad wo akela gaya #JLF. I came back to Mumbai*"

He said that he is proud to be the one who made auto drivers in India read books."This tweet is meant to mock me and the auto driver, but I'm proud to be the one who made auto drivers in India read books. Even more proud of that driver who reads and goes to litfests.Without knowing his circumstances, to judge him like that speaks more about u than anything else," Chetan Bhagat wrote.
