Creator of Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, Aatish Kapadia, recently called out the Pakistani version of the sitcom and slammed it for a blatant copy. Now, the leading actor of the popular show, Rupali Ganguly who played the role of Monisha Sarabhai came out in support of Aatish and said that the topic has become official now and the makers might initiate legal action against them. The Anupama actor went on to call the Pakistani version 'sleazy' and 'tacky looking' characters.
Rupali told The Times of India, "It’s disgusting the way they have copied it frame to frame. I know imitation is the best form of flattery, but what they have done is an insult. It’s such a bad copy with tacky looking characters, sets, dialogues, it’s all very sleazy."
She further shared, "We have made the topic official now. Let’s see if they pull it down or not. Else, we will move according to the need of the hour."
Talking about the show needs to be renewed in India, Rupali went on to say, "Now at least the makers need to realise that we need to bring back Sarabhai. We (the cast) are raring to go, waiting to come back, and are absolutely ready on the starting line. Aatish bhai is ready too. We should bring back the original and give these sad, non-creative people fodder to make some more horrible copies!"
Meanwhile, Aatish wrote on his Facebook page, "Inspired versions of Sarabhai have got it wrong because they thought it was a show only about class conflict; which was just one aspect of it. Written by using inversion as a tool. But this blatant copy?!?!?! My god, it's appalling. My request to my friends is to NOT give that show 'views', by chance you'll come across that daylight robbery."
