Interestingly, Swades drew inspiration from an episode titled 'America Return' from the 1993-1994 Zee TV anthology Yule Love Stories, featuring Ashutosh Gowariker himself as Mohan and Kishori Ballal as Kaveri Amma, just like in the film.
This connection was highlighted by Mimansa Shekhar on Twitter, sharing a video showcasing parallel scenes. Take a look:
