The immensely charming and successful sitcom ‘Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai’ still remains one of the wittiest and most memorable television shows of the decade. The ingenious characters and sharp writing made it what it is today. All the actors, including the producer and writer of the show, recently had a reunion and had a blast.

The show was based on the conflict between the 'Saas' and the 'Bahu' due to their economic divide. But the show was comedic and clever in its nature and narrative. And the writer of the show, Aatish Kapadia, was upset over its 'unofficial remake' in Pakistan. He had written a long post on Facebook and lashed out at the makers and also stated how he cringed after he saw a clipping that he received. He also described this incident as 'daylight robbery.'
He wrote- “Morning began with a forwarded video link. I opened it and saw a 'word to word' 'frame to frame' unofficial remake of our show 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai'. By someone from our not so amicable neighbours , to our west. It has been shamelessly put on a free video streaming platform and the actors have performed my written word so badly, (they've even added their own pedestrian bit) that I cringed!" [SIC]
He added, "I mean getting inspired and having made a show on the lines of Sarabhai vs Sarabhai is understandable. Khichdi had inspired many makers to come up with a show on the lines of Khichdi. The problem of course was that they didn't understand the logic behind creating those illogical people. Similarly, 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." [SIC]
