Assuming the role of wedding planner yet again in Made in Heaven 2, Arjun Mathur promises that, this time, his character’s journey is noteworthy. “After the first season, I wondered what my character would do since his conflicts were resolved, but when I read the second season, I was thrilled to see how it gets better. His journey is more powerful and personal.”

The show, which debuted on Amazon Prime Video in March 2019, focused on two wedding planners—Mathur’s Karan Mehra and Sobhita Dhulipala’s Tara Khanna—who navigate the complicities of Indian weddings, while battling personal demons. Like season one, this is also set in the heart of Delhi. “It was always set in India, but we do have a schedule abroad. Let’s see how that goes. The show is set in the world of Delhi, and Delhi weddings. I will be shooting for this till July. We are working with some of the strongest voices from the industry.”

Weighing in on the I&B ministry’s decision to classify OTT shows, he says, “Certification is justified for people under a certain age. But beyond that, I am in disagreement of anyone who is trying to control the content that is allowed to air. As artistes, it’s our job to authentically reflect our times, and society, as truthfully as we can.”
