Chetan Bhagat Exposes Love, Sex, Red Flags, Standup Comedy, Sugar Babies & Hookup Culture

Full Episode - In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode, Nitin Bajaj is in conversation with a prominent author, Chetan Bhagat, who goes beyond books to talk about the realities of love, lust, breakups, and the chaos of modern dating. From saying “there’s no love story without sex” to questioning “how do you really know it’s love?”, Chetan doesn’t shy away from topics that most people hesitate to touch.

He opens up about the red flags in relationships, why couples should keep their love life private, and how social media has turned love into a performance. We dive deep into the difference between love and lust, the confusion of “situationships,” and how today’s hookup culture and even concepts like sugar babies mirror age-old human behaviors.

Beyond relationships, Chetan also shares the hidden side of being a writer, the pressure to keep delivering bestsellers, his process of isolating himself to focus, and the challenge of reinventing himself in a fast-changing world. He reveals how Vipassana meditation transformed him, why he believes all religions teach the same core truth, and even his secret dream of being a stand-up comedian.

If you’ve ever wondered about the intersection of love, sex, spirituality, storytelling, and modern culture, this episode is as real and relatable as it gets.
