2 States: The Story of My Marriage by Chetan Bhagat

Love knows no boundaries, but families do. In Chetan Bhagat's bestselling novel, 2 States: The Story of My Marriage, Krish and Ananya are head-over-heels in love and determined to marry. There's just one tiny hurdle: their families. Krish, a Punjabi boy from Delhi, and Ananya, a Tamilian girl from Chennai, find their love story complicated by deeply ingrained cultural differences and parental expectations. In India, marriage isn't just about two individuals; it's a union of two families, and convincing their respective clans to embrace their cross-cultural romance proves to be a hilarious, heartwarming, and often chaotic adventure. From awkward introductions to cultural clashes and emotional showdowns, Krish and Ananya navigate the complexities of inter-community marriage, proving that sometimes, love requires more than just two hearts—it requires two states. Based on Chetan Bhagat's own experiences, 2 States offers a relatable and insightful look at modern relationships, family dynamics, and the power of love to bridge even the widest cultural divides.
