Indian television stars Sanaya Irani and Mohit Sehgal's highly anticipated on-screen reunion has run into trouble. Their new vertical micro-drama, Qabool Hai on Kuku TV, is facing plagiarism allegations.
Viewers claim the show heavily copies the hit Pakistani drama Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, which stars Hania Aamir and Fahad Mustafa.
The controversy has sparked online reactions, with several users accusing the Indian show of being a direct copy of the Pakistani hit drama.
One user wrote: "India is really running out of original content now started copying Pakistani drama storylines too. Qabool Hai is a total copy-paste of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum: a jobless husband and an ambitious, hardworking wife carrying the household."
Another user said: "Wdym an indian app just took the plot of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum and made it into a show that is streaming on their platform."
Viewers claim the similarities go way beyond just a basic plot about an unemployed husband and an ambitious wife.
The team behind Qabool Hai has not addressed the controversy yet.
