The mother-daughter who are best friends angle might have been inspired by Gilmore Girls. Also, Luke-Lorelai love angle is weirdly similar to HS-Babita if I look at it. But there are still stark differences between GG and PB.
Lorelai in GG is nothing like Babita. She is strong, independent, fun and outgoing, witty, confident but is immature and childish. Rory, her daughter on the other hand is mature, super smart, sensible, but timid and shy. Rory looks up to her mother a lot and wants to be like her. Its the opposite in PB. Also, there is no divorce angle, Dad cheating on mom, abusive Dad angle in GG. Lorelai is a single mother and has single handedly raised her daughter. Lorelai comes from a really wealthy family, gets pregnant with her bf at the age of 16, which embarrassed and disappointed her parents (almost reminds me of Meeta's story). Lorelai has an overbearing, neurotic mother and an workaholic father. In her quest to give Rory a better childhood than herself, she decides to leave her parents house to a nearby town and decides to live independently on her own. The show starts when the daughter is 16.
Luke on the other hand has always liked and been attracted to Lorelai, so is Lorelai but its not too evident in the beginning. Nonetheless they are really good friends. Luke is always there for her and her daughter in the time of need. I especially loved Luke-Lorelai love angle. Its a really good show. You should watch it... its on Netflix 😃
