Director
Gauri
Shinde
recently
said
she
was
deeply
disturbed
by
irresponsible
comments
about
Dear
Zindagi.
''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.
Just
because
there
is
a
doctor
in
a
film
does
not
mean
it
borrows
from
another
film
with
a
doctor.''
"Am
deeply
disturbed
by
irresponsible
comments
from
people
who
have
no
clue
what
it
is
that
they
are
referring
to...
I
have
not
seen
this
series
that
they
refer
to..
and
I
cannot
comment
on
what
is
in
it," she
told
IANS.
Shinde
added
that
"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".
Dear
Zindagi

of
unanswered
questions.
