I knew this kind of controversy may arise.
But neither actors of the show nor the PH have ever said it is based on them. Even DD was very clear in her SBB, SBS interviews it was not based on them. Just the name is similar.
It was always media which was speculating it. Maybe it is based on them and the story might be similar. But it won't be that similar because it is based on the current time. And PH and Channel can always argue that it is not based on Madhubala and Dhilip. THough DD's name is Madhubala Vivian's name is not Dhilip. The girl was born in 1991. THey will put on scenes which will be very different from their real story.
From the last promo it seems to me she has been forced into the industry, EvenMadhubala was forced to work I think to look after her family and she was the onlyone who earns in the family. Maybe that might be the reason her sister was upset thinking this show might make Madhubala's family look bad.
I just hope this will not effect the show.
