Fans Call Sanaya and Mohit’s New Drama a "Cheap Copy" of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum
Lately, "micro-dramas" which are super short shows made to be watched vertically on phone screens have become a huge trend. Hoping to join this trend, popular real-life Indian TV couple Sanaya Irani and Mohit Sehgal recently came out with a new short show called Qabool Hai. This was supposed to be a special project because the couple is working together after nearly ten years. However, instead of getting praise, the show is facing heavy anger from drama fans across India and Pakistan who are accusing the makers of stealing a popular story.
The anger started almost immediately after clips of Qabool Hai were posted on apps like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). Viewers quickly realized that the whole plot, the main characters, and even the emotional scenes are a near-exact copy of the 2024 blockbuster Pakistani drama Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. The original Pakistani show, which starred famous actors Hania Aamir and Fahad Mustafa, was a massive global hit that won millions of hearts for its beautiful and original story.
Fans have posted video clips online showing side-by-side proof of how identical the two shows are. The main story is exactly the same: a hardworking, smart girl gets dumped by her fiancé right before her wedding. To save her family from public shame, she ends up marrying his younger brother, who is a carefree, jobless video-gamer. Viewers argue that Qabool Hai did not just copy this setup, but it also copied the lighting, the emotional moments, and the exact way the actors deliver their lines, making it look like an unoriginal knock-off.
While entertainment industries often remake stories, fans are furious because the creators of Qabool Hai did not give any credit to the original Pakistani writer and team. Angry comments are filling up social media, with people saying that Indian TV has run out of original ideas and is making a low-budget duplicate just to make quick money. So far, neither Sanaya Irani, Mohit Sehgal, nor the producers of the show have spoken up or responded to the copying allegations
