My serial not based on Madhubala love life: Producer

"We were very clear in our communication from day one. The first promo starts from 1991, so neither Madhubala was born in 1991 nor she passed away then... And moreover there is no written fact that anything of that existed between the two (Madhubala and Dilip Kumar). Dilip saab is a living legend and we don't want to draw any controversy by defaming anyone.

"The moment we called it Madhubala, and it is about a girl who falls in love with a superstar there were these assumptions and we have been denying it through out," Saurabh told PTI.

Madhubala's sister Zahida also sent a notice to the show heads asking for a clarification on the serials subject.

"She sent a notice to Colors asking for clarification whether it is being based on Madhubala or not and I think the legal team has handled that, so no stress on that," Saurabh added.

The TV show is based on the reality of film fraternity and is dedicated to mark the completion of 100 years of Hindi cinema. (MORE)
