Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai: Rupali Ganguly AKA Monisha Reacts To The Show's Unofficial Pakistani Rip-Off; ‘What They Have Done Is An Insult’
Earlier, this week ‘90s popular sit-com show Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai made headlines when its writer Aatish Kapadia came across the replica of the show, made by the Pakistani makers. In his Facebook post, the writer had slammed the Pakistani makers for bluntly copying his bit-by-bit.

My request to my friends is to NOT give that show ‘views’, by chance you’ll come across that daylight robbery. So much for copyright! And I don’t mean the technical copyright. I mean the shameful lack of conscience that those thieves displayed while lifting the show, lock stock and barrel! Waiting for poetic justice, if there’s any. P.s imitation is the best form of flattery. But lack of permission before illegal imitation is amorality.” (ALSO READ: Excuse Me Madam: Sarabhai VS Sarabhai's Rosesh Aka Rajesh Kumar To Surprise Fans By Dressing Up As A Woman On The Show)
