Mrunal and Siddhant in Made In Heaven 2
The highly acclaimed show `Made in Heaven` has made a comeback with its second season. This season explores diverse interpretations of both joyful and challenging conclusions in various wedding narratives. In a specific episode, the series addresses the sensitive topic of domestic abuse. Actor Siddhant Karnick portrays the character of an abusive husband in `Made In Heaven 2`. His impactful performance has resonated strongly with the viewers, leaving a lasting impression.
We ask Karnick how he constructed the character and he says, "A magician never gives away his secrets. The core of Anik is that he is a troubled man. On the outside he is a Life coach, an author of self help books, and has a big following on social media. He’s a narcissist and a violent man. Also, a manipulative man. These are all what you as an audience see from the outside, I did not wish to see him like that. I wouldn’t have been convinced then. You see a villain isn’t a villain in his eyes. He believes what he is doing is right. We all believe we are doing right, when we look at things from our world, because we are the hero in our world, the villain also believes this. He isn’t a villain , if he was, Adhira wouldn’t have taken him back , he is a troubled man and at one point breaks down to seek help and she accepts to help him. Adhira plays the knight in shining armour here."
