So, what really caused this outrage?
As it was evident in the show, the writer was too keen on judging the couples for their relationship chemistry than their dance. Calling this move a shallow one, the audience took to twitter to express their disappointment. There were angry fans calling for the return of old judges like Shilpa Shetty and Farhan Akhtar. Nach Baliye has seen some brilliant artists from the industry judging the show in the first 6 seasons, including Saroj Khan and Kunal Kohli, therefore, the unforeseen presence of Chetan Bhagat was definitely going to cause a bit of distress.
Here, we look at a few tweets that made us laugh and cringe at the same time.

The way #ChetanBhagat is progressing in his career, he looks all set to become India's next HRD minister.

It's one thing to watch #chetanbhagat on news debates & give his rubbish views but to see him judge #NachBaliye7 is downright nauseating!

Chetan Bhagat on #NachBaliye7 & Rameez Raja in #IPL . Difficult to say which is more painful.

Chetan Bhagat thinks he's an expert on marriages because he made an exaggerated movie on his life. #NachBaliye7 Marriage counsellor on set.

Chetan Bhagat did engineering from IIT, MBA from IIM and learned "how to judge a dance show" from IIN. #NachBaliye7

My biggest problem with #NachBaliye7 is when I hear the words "Chetan sir."

Himesh Reshammiya to music, Sajid Khan to films, Chetan Bhagat to Literature, KRK to Twitter. #NachBaliye7
