only this much is similar...the rest of the story is way alag! where kate finally ends up disowning eve, because eve is basically a black character in the book!
this show is much inspired by "master of the game" which is one of my fav Sidney book. the character Adi resembles in a way with Kate's son Tony. both the characters has this habit of stammering wen talking to the person they admire the most...but otherwise they talk normally with other ppl.
Tony stammered in front of Kate and Adi wen in presence of Maan.
