There were promos of this show on Sony called Humsafars tht seemed akin to ZGH, but at that time the show had not started. Now it seems it's airing and am sure has gone beyond 26 episodes.

Anyone watching the show and is it similar to ZGH, especially are Kashaf's, Zaroon's and Rafia's characters similar and if yes have the makers done justice to them?

Humsafars is a rip off of Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Humsafar and Khoobsurat but its more of ZGH than the other two. They get the storyline from Zindagi Gulzar Hai, romantic angles from Humsafar and hero's character from Khoobsurat. Its a khichdi of all these 3.

HOW WAS IT POSSIBLE THAT OUR MAKERS DO NOT COPY THE TRENDSETTING SHOW AND I WAS THINKING ALREADY GOING SHOWS MUST HAVE COPIED SOME SCENE , SOME DIALOGUES FROM ZGH . WHEN HINDI SHOWS COPIES THE OTHER GOING ON HINDI SHOWS , KIND OF USE THE TESTED FORMULA , THEN HOW CAN ZGH BE LEFT BEHIND . NONE CAN MAKE ZGH , NEEDS TO HAVE THE SENSITIVITY AND VISION TO DIRECT SUCH SHOW . SHOULD NOT BE FORGETTING THE ACTORS WHO WERE SUBTLE , NOT OVER THE TOP .

Yes to copy a show like ZGH is preposterous coz the essence of the show is the characterization of d key actors and in fact the not so important characters too, the dynamics in relations and most importantly the thinking process of Zaroon and Kashaf. The show is so well written and equally well-performed.
I remember when the first time ZGH was aired on Zindagi and everyone was going gaga over it and one of my relatives asked me to watch it and I dismissed it saying I had read the story on wiki and so knew what the show was about. She told me that that was not enough and that only on watching the show I would be able to appreciate and acknowledge it and dat's what made me watch the show and how right she was.

Its not you only , Zindgi that time has started and most have not seen the show and still there are many who have not . But with word of mouth ,its becoming more popular ,even i made my friends to watch as i have downloaded the show and were surprised when it ended just in 26 episodes and no hugging , falling , no eyelocks . found to be subtle and was appreciated . I do not think in todays hindi TV world we have writers who can use their own brains . goes on following the rat race .

actually our channels before trying to sell what they made after Zindagi they trying to what public want but copy will not help its depend on talent which I think cross border very much available and most important language sweetness which really admire me.

Only similarity till now is the heroine's situation is copied from ZGH ie her dad left her mom for having daughters so she hates him, she has several sisters, mom is still respectful of her dad etc. Rest is very very different. The hero is nothing like Zaroon. Its more similar to Qubool Hai actually.There is no college days...the show starts off with a fashion house which the hero owns. Plus heroine is related to him and living in his house when she comes to Mumbai. The show might be a mishmash of Qubool Hai, Geet, IPKKND, Humsafar and ZGH. 😆
The show is certainly not nuanced like ZGH. The usual Gul Khan ploys like hero bathing shirtless, hero-heroine tiffs has already started. 🤣

You know once i have a talk with some forum mods.She told me that now creativity has taken backseat its the fans at social sites tell the Director what to show and what they want . Satin sheets , shower scenes and what not in the name of romance . Disgusting and vulgarity has now become the definition of romance . Do not know the meaning of subtle


You mean to say its the khichdi . God bless the viewers as they are ready for this kind of trash . just have changed the definition of love which means falling and slipping in each other arms then eye locks where half episode is taken . Why i am talking about this . Not in this Hindi zone . Yes feel really sad when we are the country f treasure of literature .
