When Chetan is asked about his political stance, he explains that his outlook towards the world has gradually changed over time and that he isn’t as angry as he used to be a decade ago. Abhinandan then goes on to ask Chetan why he insists on playing the underdog despite his ‘bestseller author’ status? 

Chetan then talks about heartbreaks and rejections that he has faced in his romantic life. He says that it was difficult for him to move on and that there should be more dialogue on these topics as rejection is a serious issue faced by youngsters.
