3. Is Alia-SRK’s ‘Dear Zindagi’ Being Sued by ‘Being Erica’ Makers?
According to reports, Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi may have been served a legal notice for copyright infringement. The film, starring Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan, has strong similarities with Canadian TV series Being Erica. The Quint was the first to report on Dear Zindagi being a replica of Being Erica.
According to a report in DNA, the producers of the series, Temple Street Productions, have sent a legal notice to Dharma Productions for copyright infringement.
Karan and the Dharma CEO, Apoorva Mehta were not aware that DZ was inspired in such detail from the Canadian show. Meanwhile, Gauri maintains her script is original, but the similarities are too glaring to go unnoticed. Gauri Khan, who is also one of the producers, and the makers are now trying to figure how to sort it out amicably. This is the first time that Dharma, which has a clean reputation, has faced a plagiarism charge.Source
But the CEO of Dharma Productions denies the report.

4. Sohail Put Salman “Behind Bars” on 100th Koffee with Karan Episode
Karan Johar, much like the rest of the nation, knows that anything with Salman Khan in it will sell quicker than Reliance Jio SIM cards. So it was only befitting that he got Bhai-Khan along with his bhaijaans Sohail and Arbaaz Khan for the 100th episode of his show.
Karan got emotional during his opening monologue on how the show became a huge part of his life, given that he’s been hosting it for 12 years. Yep. 12. YEARS.
If there’s another season of the show, it’ll enter its rebellious teenage years and it’ll be fun to see how Johar manages to father it, while still trying to stay relevant after interviewing all of tinsel-town many times over.
