“Hi, I’m Radhika Mehta and I’m getting married this week. I work in a top investment bank. Thank you for reading my crazy story. However, let me warn you. You may not like me too much. One, I make a lot of money. Two, I have an opinion on everything. Three, I have had sex before. Now, if I were a guy, you’d be cool with all this. Since I am a girl, these things don’t really make me too likeable, do they?” says the teaser.
The book, which can now be pre-ordered on Amazon, is set to hit stands on October 1.
Bhagat has previously authored seven books (five fiction and two non-fiction) and his last book, Half-Girlfriend is being adapted into a film of the same name starring Bollywood actors Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor.
The 42-year-old author has been actively tweeting developments about the Mohit-Suri directed underproduction film scheduled to release next year.
Bhagat’s novels Five Point Someone, One Night @ the Call Center, The 3 Mistakes of My Life and 2 States: The Story of My Marriage have all been previously adapted into Bollywood movies.
