Phew! That sure is a long list for Chetan Bhagat. However, he is going to add one more feather to his cap, now that he has decided to judge a popular dance show on a leading GEC.

Last year, when he said that he is bored of writing and needs to do something completely new, little did we know that his 'new' would be this new.

The show in question is Nach Baliye, a popular dance show in which celebrity couple fight the battle of dance. Aired on Star Plus, the show would air its 7th season this year and the panel of judges is lucky to have a man with so many accomplishments in his life.

While Twitterati is going bonkers over this new role of Chetan Bhagat, we at Business Insider India think that it's completely justified for him to give marks, given that he is so good with numbers.

Have a look at the names of his novels:

Five Point Someone, One Night @ the Call Center, The 3 Mistakes of My Life, 2 States, Revolution 2020, and the much-controversial, Half Girlfriend.

All his books have numbers in their names, so much so that he included a 'half' in the last one that he wrote.

While Nach Baliye hasn't yet had a tradition of giving half numbers, we can totally expect Mr. Bhagat to introduce that. However, we wonder who all couples would be a part of the show, agreeing for his love for short numbers. After all, the performances are marked out of 10, and the max Mr. Bhagat has gone is 5.

The only saving grace for the contestants would be Preity Zinta and Marzi Pestonji, his co-judges.

Let's hope that Mr. Bhagat finds a stable profession soon, so that Tweeples leave him alone for some days at least.
