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.
The comment section of the four page clarification was filled with mixed opinions. While on the subject of portraying different identities on screen, a user asked Zoya to normalise Muslim character in her films and series. "Zoya can you normal Muslim character in your shows. One positive story that is not oppressed," they wrote.
