2 States: The Story of My Marriage is a 2009 novel written by Chetan Bhagat. It is the story about a couple coming from two different states in India, who face hardships in convincing their parents for approval of their marriage. The novel is a fiction, but is said to be inspired from the real story[1] of the author and his wife Anusha who are from Delhi and Tamil Nadu, respectively.[2] This is the second Chetan Bhagat book based largely on his life, with the other being his first book 'Five Point Somenone'. He wrote this novel after quitting his job at an investment bank.[3] This is his fourth book after Five point someone, One night at call center, The Three Mistakes of My Life.
The story begins in the IIM Ahmedabad mess, where Krish, a Punjabi boy from Delhi sights a beautiful girl, Ananya, a Tamil Brahmin from Chennai, quarreling with the mess staff about the food. They become friends within a few days and decide to study together every night. In time, they become romantically involved. They both get good jobs, and have serious plans for their wedding. The story is based on how they struggle to convince their parents for the marriage, and eventually succeed in doing so. It is narrated in a first person point of view in a humorous tone, often taking digs at Tamilian and Punjabi culture. The novel ends with Ananya giving birth to twin boys. They say that the babies belong to a state called 'India'.
What is even more interesting is the continuation of character Hari of Five Point Someone in Krish.[citation needed]
Later it has been announced that the screen adaptation of 2 States will be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala with Shahrukh Khan and a South Indian actress in the lead. Vishal Bhardwaj will be directing it.[4]
But latest interest of Sharukh Khan to not to appear in back to back romantic movies, made the director to look after different options. Later on it has been declared that Ranbir Kapoor would appear as the protagonist in the project[5]
