Exclusive: Neeraj Ghaywan on Dalit Struggles & 'Made in Heaven 2' | Zoya | Alankrita | Reema

Mid-day's Mayank Shekhar talks to Neeraj Ghaywan about Made in Heaven 2, and his own struggle with his Dalit identity. Director Neeraj Ghaywan opens up on the conversation-starter episode of Made in Heaven 2 that spotlights owning your Dalit identity. "Pallavi Menke is me,” filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan confesses, before apologising for emotionally choking up, during a video call with mid-day, along with Alankrita Shrivastav, Reema Kagti, Zoya Akhtar, writer-directors of the second season of the Emmy-nominated series, Made in Heaven (MIH), on Amazon Prime Video. Neeraj Ghaywan is referring to Radhika Apte’s Ambedkarite Dalit, upper-class, lead-character, in the fifth episode of Made in Heaven 2, titled The Heart Skipped A Beat, directed by him. That’s singularly turned into a conversation-starter online. #madeinheaven2 #neerajghaywan #dalit #zoyakhtar #alankritashrivastava #reemakagti #radhikaapte #ambedkarite
