Alia’s relationship with Angad Bedi is also similar to Erica’s relationship with the character Ethan where Ethan played the part of an ideal boyfriend who was extra sweet and extra nice, and didn’t deserved to be dumped or cheated on.

So basically, the only aspect of the TV series that wasn’t adapted into the movie was the concept of time travel that Dr Tom uses as a method to let Erica see through her mistakes. Well, surely the audience is glad to see a tinge of originality in the script of the movie. Dear Zindagi seems to have hit the box office quite successfully, albeit the replications from the famous Canadian TV series go unnoticed.
