Not identical ? - Page 2

TellyBuzz article proves it https://www.india-forums.com/tellybuzz/article.asp?id=1028

Producers are lying to public. It is impossible that conjoined twins be fraternal. Can they give at least one example? What research is he talking about?

You know it's the way the article is written that might be a misrepresentation. Note the producer NEVER used the word fraternal. He must have been talking about slight environmental changes. Alike but a tad bit different. Kind of like Mary Kate and Ashley (I know this is confusing cause I used them as example of identical twins which they are in the poll I made) but meaning not a 100 % identical but identical. I think that is what the producer meant.
As for the medical people having a tizzy about it. I did as well, thus the poll right after watching the first episode. It's really easy to think they don't look alike and then dismiss the show as being wrong, but you have to think of the casting and what their limitations are. I mean within minutes of delivering twins in a high risk operation, the mother was walking without pain as if nothing happened. If you really analyze a lot of things don't make sense. But I think the way the article was written creates more drama. I wouldn't be so harsh on the director about this point, unless you heard him quote about the research using the word fraternal.

When you read 'environmental changes' in twins it actually means the changes that happens to the twins in the womb. The producer says that his research shows that conjoined twins can be non-identical. That is a false statement and medically impossible. He should cite one example which he can't.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are fraternal twins even though they look identical.

That is what I mentioned in one of my previous posts as creative liberty😊. But it is a bit difficult for me to digest that they chose two totally different looking people and passing them off as conjoined twins. Other than that the show is a refreshing change and looks promising.

Quoting from article: However the channel is sticking to its gun, Sanjay Upadhaya, creative director, Sony Entertainment television says that "Our extensive research proves that this is not necessary. and conjoined twins can be non identical as well."

Read Non-identical. He clears states that which is a false statement hence my disappointment.😛
