The recently released second season of the critically acclaimed web series "Made in Heaven" has been generating buzz for both its content and the controversies surrounding it. The latest celebrity to join the chorus of praise is none other than Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, who took to Instagram Stories to share her thoughts on the show.
In her post, Katrina Kaif enthusiastically expressed her love for the series, stating that she couldn't remember a time when she had to binge-watch an entire season in one go. She lauded the characters that kept her hooked and the brilliant performances of the entire cast. The actress also tagged the show's producers and directors, showering them with compliments for putting up a spectacular and binge-worthy show.
"Made in Heaven" Season 2, created by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, made its debut on Prime Video on August 9th. The show continues to follow the lives of wedding planners Tara and Karan, played by Sobhita Dhulipala and Arjun Mathur, respectively. The second season introduces grander weddings and maintains its ensemble cast, including Kalki Koechlin, Jim Sarbh, Shashank Arora, and Shivangi Rastogi. Additionally, new faces like Mona Singh, Ishwak Singh, and Trinetra were added to the mix.
While the show has received accolades for its storytelling and performances, controversies have also arisen. Dalit author and journalist Yashica Dutt raised concerns about not being credited for her book, "Coming Out as Dalit: A Memoir," which she claimed served as inspiration for the show's fifth episode. This episode, titled "The Heart Skipped a Beat," featured a Dalit-Buddhist wedding and explored inter-caste marriage. The controversy gained momentum when the creators of "Made in Heaven" denied the claims made by Yashica Dutt.
Adding to the fray, renowned fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani accused the show of using his designs without proper credit. Tahiliani alleged that his designs were utilized in an episode without his consent, and that they were attributed to a fictitious designer with a fictitious label. His claims put the show's producers in further hot water.
As the controversies continue to unfold, it's clear that "Made in Heaven 2" is a project that has garnered both appreciation and critique from various quarters. While the show's content and performances are undoubtedly captivating, the controversies have raised important questions about the need for proper credit and recognition in the entertainment industry. It remains to be seen how these controversies will impact the show's legacy and the ongoing conversations surrounding it.
In a world where creativity and inspiration often intersect, discussions about credit and acknowledgment are crucial. As viewers and consumers, it's important to engage with these debates and encourage a fair and ethical treatment of creative work within the entertainment realm.
