Hey all, I have been a silent visitor for years but writing for the first time.
I have long found similarities between this show and pakistani serial Zindagi Gulzar Hai. Multiple sisters living with their mother to make ends meet, protagonist bitter & practical about life, father only wanting a boy married to another lady.
Priya in the beginning and Kashaf are so similar. Their inhibitions, their bitterness towards marriage and men, even their dialogues at times reminded me of Zindagi Gulzar hai.
Now, post leap, I feel they are borrowing the track from Humsafar serial featuring Mahira Khan. In the precap, it is shown that the child is having a pill. Now that is quite similar to Ram, but pills popping for a child is not normal, unless she is sick.
And this is exactly what happened in Humsafar, where mother goes to rich father for child's medical finances. And the child ends up bringing them together. In that serial too, the father spent some time being convinced that the child is his, which is where this show is heading.
