Made In Heaven team issued a detailed clarification on the credits and influences taken for the episode featuring Radhika Apte as a Dalit and the portrayal of a Dalit wedding

Still from the controversial Made In Heaven episode
After a long wait, the second season of the much loved Prime Video show `Made In Heaven` was released on the streaming platform last week. A few days back, author and journalist Yashica Dutt claimed credit for an episode directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and featuring Radhika Apte as she said it drew parallels from her life and her book `Coming Out as Dalit`. Now, the makers Reema Kagti, Zoya Akhtar and Neeraj have issued a clarification regarding the same and denied the claims made by Dutt.
“We are deeply disturbed with the misleading reports and comments in the context of author Yashica Dutt claiming formal credit for her ‘contribution’ to Made in Heaven, a show set around wedding planners and remarkable brides who challenge prejudices deeply ingrained in our society," the statement read.
