Clash of the title
Two producers are fighting over the title, Paraya Dhan. (Neither of them should be using it to describe a woman, anyway)

Producers Purushotam Bisawa and Sunjoy Wadhwa are involved in a title clash, with both exercising their exclusive rights over the title Paraya Dhan. While Bisawa asserts that he had already registered his title three years ago and his show is scheduled to start soon of DD, Waddhwa's show Beetiyan Apni Ya Paraya Dhan is scheduled to start from the October 10 on Star One.
Bisawa is now planning to get a stay on Waadhwa's show if his complaint at AMPTPP is not resolved by Monday. He says, "I do not want to get involved in any controversy, I just hope the Association does something about the problem. Waddhwa has added 'Beetiyan Apni Ya', but he is promoting the show as Paraya Dhan. So far there has been no response from the AMPTPP. People have been calling me and there is confusion over the serials. Why should I suffer just because he is the big producer? I will not take this lying down."
Meanwhile, Wadhwa says, "I don't know the man but I have got his letter and we are looking into the matter. I have little control over what is written; but from my end I have always said that my show is Beetiyan Aapni Ya Paraya Dhan. I think he is resorting to this mud-slinging as a way to get some publicity. I want to stay away from controversy. His claim that my hoardings show only Paraya Dhan is completely untrue."
