The recent release of the fifth episode of Made in Heaven 2, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, has sparked discussions and conversations since its debut last week. The episode delves into the lingering issue of casteism in contemporary times and features Radhika Apte as Pallavi Menke, a Dalit author who courageously embraces her identity and becomes a vocal advocate for her community.
On Monday, journalist and author Yashica Dutt, known for her book `Coming Out as Dalit`, which offers a picture of the Dalit experience in India, took to Instagram to share her powerful response to the episode. While she appreciated the show`s portrayal of a Dalit-Buddhist wedding and hailed the episode as a "cinematic triumph," Yashica voiced her concern regarding the lack of acknowledgment for her contribution to the episode`s central ideas.
