To his right is an immaculately turned out Masaba Gupta fresh from her showing at the recently concluded Lakme Fashion Week and a lanky fellow who seems to be thankful for even getting a seat on the dais. On his left are actress Shazahn Padamsee who has managed to grab the attention of the paparazzi present and an unassuming Abhishek Kapoor who is set to direct Kai Po Che a movie based on Bhagat's The 3 Mistakes of My Life. On the dais, Bhagat occupies the seat in the centre. ![]() Bhagat is dressed in a white Chinese collared shirt and a crisp black jacket that screams 'I have arrived'. The book is a collection of Chetan Bhagat's essays and newspaper columns.
