The "How I met your mother" finale is one of the most divisive endings in TV history but most of the people online are on the "negative" aspect of the spectrum and it seems that something controversial appeared in the midst of the "HIMYM" ending fiasco in that the ending of the show is allegedly a rip-off of a Bollywood movie called "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai"

Blogger Megan Koushik noticed a lot of similarities between "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" and the "How I met your mother" finale and noted them down:

Boy meets Girl. They instantly become best friends, despite obvious lingering sexual attraction. They bond over inside jokes that no one else finds funny. (Ted and Robin basically)

Their story is interspersed with comic relief from this couple that can't keep their hands off each other. (Lily and Marshall)

Boy and Girl develop a friendship full of hijinks and the occasional catchy pop number. (Robin Sparkles and a Bollywood dance number)

Except the boy and girl didn't work out romantically aka it is not their time, they have different priorities, one of them is blind to the perfection clearly in front of them. Heartbroken, Girl leaves Boy.

Enter Girl 2. She's really, really attractive. She's also all about impressing Boy with her musical skills. (The Mother)

Boy is absolutely certain that Girl 2 is the love of his life and he'll love her forever and this is IT. Because that's just what happens when you've found The One.

Boy and Girl 2 get married. And have kids. And move to the suburbs. And basically lead a picture-perfect existence.

But then Girl 2 (The Mother) DIES. Of unspecified, but tragic causes, while Boy is stoic by her bedside.

This leaves the Boy sad and heartbroken and forces him to raise the children alone.

Meanwhile Girl is still around. Because they're "best friends" and all. It helps that she's possibly even more attractive than she was before.

Except Girl is engaged to a man hereafter known as The Fiance (Barney Stinson). The Fiance is rich and hot and no one actually knows what he does for a living. The Fiance also has semicreepy sexual tension with various motherly characters. The Fiance is the ultimate bro. The Fiance is also all about suits.

Boy shows up at Girl's pre-wedding celebrations, making her doubt everything she feels about The Fiance. Rain is involved.

In the end, they wind up together with a little help (or tacit consent) from Boy's kids.

So eventually, Boy and Girl end up together.

So what do you think? Is this just coincidence or was there some "ripping-off" involved? Sound off in the comments below!
