Hey Bollywood Buffs! It’s your favorite Bollywood Newshound Nisha back with another spicy scoop from the glittering world of Hindi cinema! 🌟
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna: The Plagiarism Drama Unfolds!
Ah, Karan Johar’s 2006 magnum opus, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna—the film that dared to tread on the treacherous path of marital infidelity. With a celebrity filled cast featuring the King of Romance, Shah Rukh Khan, alongside Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, and Abhishek Bachchan, this movie was way ahead of its time. But guess what? We’ve got some piping hot tea for you today! 🍵
Shah Rukh Khan’s Role: A Copycat Act?
Hold onto your popcorn, folks, because Pakistani actor Tauqeer Nasir is claiming that SRK’s character, Dev Saran, is a complete rip-off of his own character from the Pakistani drama Parwaaz. Yes, you heard it right! On the YouTube channel Zabardast With Wasi Shah, Nasir spilled the beans, saying, "Ek film Shah Rukh ne meri ki hai. Parwaaz drame ka poora character usne as it is kiya hai. I appreciate lekin usko credit dena chahiye tha. Karan Johar ko dena chahiye tha." Translation: "SRK totally copied my character from Parwaaz. He should’ve given me some credit. Even Karan Johar didn’t acknowledge it." Ouch! 🎭
The Details: Limping Into Controversy
Nasir didn’t stop there. He delved into the nitty-gritty details, pointing out that SRK’s injured right leg in KANK is eerily similar to his own character’s limp in Parwaaz. "Wohi right leg, same limp," he said. So, not only did they borrow the character, but they also glamorized it, making it Bollywood-ready. Talk about adding insult to injury, literally! 🚶♂️
The Book Connection: More Drama!
Adding more fuel to the fire, Nasir claimed that Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was based on the book Parwaaz by renowned author Mustansar Hussain Tarar. According to Nasir, the makers of KANK didn’t give any credit for the inspiration they took from this literary work. Ah, the plot thickens! 📚
The Film in a Nutshell
For those living under a rock, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna revolves around Dev Saran (SRK), a soccer star with an injured leg, and his complicated love life. Dev is married to Rhea (Preity Zinta), while Maya (Rani Mukerji) is hitched to Rishi (Abhishek Bachchan). Things get steamy when Dev and Maya fall for each other, leading to a whirlwind of emotional and marital chaos. The film, produced by Dharma Productions, also features Amitabh Bachchan and Kirron Kher in pivotal roles.
Nisha’s Nutshell:
Moral of the Story: In Bollywood, originality is like a rare gem—precious and hard to find. So, the next time you spot a "unique" character on screen, remember, it might just be borrowed from a hidden gem across the border!
Stay tuned for more juicy updates, my Bollywood junkies! Until next time! 💋
