'Dear Zindagi' does not borrow from any show: Gauri Shinde
- Director Gauri Shinde says that her movie Dear Zindagi is not a copy
The director says her film, starring Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan, is close to her heart.
Â
"Dear Zindagi is a deeply personal film. There is only one thing it borrows from that's my life. There are a million films and serials with therapists like there are with doctors.
Â
Just because there is a doctor in a film, does not mean it borrows from another film with a doctor," Shinde said in a statement.
Â
The director said she was disturbed by "irresponsible comments" from people who have no clue what it is that they are referring to.
Â
"I have not seen this series that they refer to and I cannot comment on what is in it. In today's world, where everybody sees everything, I am not so dumb that I believe I can get away by deliberate plagiarism nor am I so insensitive to borrow without giving credit, from anybody who has created anything for such a sensitive and important cause," she said.
