Mumbai, Apr 22 (IBNS): Writer and columnist Chetan Bhagat turned 39 years of age on Tuesday.

Bhagat is the author of bestselling novels - 'Five Point Someone' (2004), 'One Night @ the Call Center' (2005), 'The 3 Mistakes of My Life' (2008), '2 States' (2009), 'Revolution 2020' (2011), and 'What Young India Wants' (2012).

Four of his books have inspired Bollywood films including the superhit film '3 Idiots'.

His '2 States' has been recently made into a film starring Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt and is running in the theatres successfully.

Being an investment banker, he left the job to pursue his dream of becoming a writer and incidentally all of his books are bestsellers.
