I saw the similarities and i am sure the makers intended it to be that way!!
You know the love stories that are fulfilled are so beautiful... they shared a life together and then when she left him for 20 years, he never forgot her and no one could take the place of Sai bai in his heart, she was his one true love... and then, of course, uttering her name 20 years later on his death bed proved that love does not need you to be physically present but even your essence being with your love is everything to them!
such is a great love story!
