I don’t know. But this show has always reminded me kinda of Gilmore Girls, esp. Mini-Babita bond, and HS-Babita bond, and the absent father. Of course there is a lot of difference between the two show, the in-laws angle, divorce angle etc. You never know they could have gotten the initial idea of mother-daughter bond from here... but PB became more about giving the social message (up until 200 episodes at least), but GG is not like that in any way. GG is really well written in terms of character arcs than PB.
Some similarities I see: Luke also gives loan to Lorelei to start her business like HS gives Babita. Lorelei always reaches out to Luke for advise and support. Luke and Lorelei were always attracted to each other but always defined their relationship as friends and always denied anything on that front similar to HS-Babita though there were major sexual tension between them, similar to Hanita. It was always “is there, isn’t there”, “will they be more than friends” etc. Rory and Luke shared a lovely bond, he was a father figure to her like HS-Mini, and was fiercely protective of Rory, like HS is towards Mini. Luke and Lorelai sneaking up on Rory and her bf is what I would have liked to see HS-Babita do to Mini and her bf in PB 😆.
Edit: one of the differences but is kinda funny... in GG, Luke is the cook and is a provider of food for Rory and Lorelei since Lorelei can’t cook. In PB, Babita is the cook and makes food for HS 😆
