Made in Heaven- Coming out?

The modern day series of Made in Heaven have decadently brought in life the struggling aspects of individual lives through portrayal of twisted marriage tales. The characters of the show are eerily diverse individually and yet find? middle ground to coexist together in tune with each other’s differences. The show is a thoughtful display of coming out stories that extends but is not limited to the LGBTQ+ folks. We have all at one point found ourselves in an alien house setting with complete strangers and have developed ways to drive a unique path that fits us all together in a weirdly cute manner.?

Pallavi Menke (acted by Radhika Apte)

The land of the golden bird hasn't been proportionately kind to all its people and the prejudice still prevails. The show perfumes the story of a Dalit Writer settled in the land of liberty who grows up to overthrow her caste-neutral surname and come out as Dalit, embracing her true identity, owning the claim to equality she was long overdue.?

“It is about my politics. Above all, it is about me.”

Kabir Basrai (acted by Shashank Arora)

Coming out to the artist within, owing his film series gambling against the odds of his life at NYU, all well defying his parents who were so ardently against his decision. Embracing his deep-seated artistry of soulful colors rather than buying into the conventional clout.?

“And the ‘hope for something better’ will keep driving people every day, every night”

Karan Mehra (acted by Arjun Mathur)

In a world where love is subjected to umpteenth societal laws and obligations, Karan comes out as the biggest face of defiance to these ridiculous laws and a steaming slap indeed. Often people delve into the traditional living from the fear of unacceptance by family, friends and society, but not Karan, as clearly portrayed.?

“This is me, this is also me being myself, like it or not.”

Meher (acted by Trinetra Haldar)

The society we live in doesn't make it easier for us to question gender norms let alone break it. In the world of black and white clouds. Coming as a colorful rainbow of fully transitioned transgender is nothing short of thunderclaps. Dropping off the wonder of? “Ask me questions” by Meher is an implication of how significant curiosity is, how important it is to take every step with miles of questions. Not to complicate things, but to understand them, layer by layer, unravel the truth in lieu of mindless acceptance towards clockwork thinking.?

Tara Khanna (acted by Sobhita Dhulipala)

With not a hair out of place, Tara is the epitome of empowering beauty. Beauty that can burn cities and build civilizations out of ashes. We all breathed a sigh of relief to see her come out of the wreck of a marriage and facade of a decadent life. Cause indeed, “I can't decide if I'm a good girl wrapped in a bad girl, or if im a bad girl wrapped in a good girl. And that's how I know I’m a woman”.?

These characters have bestowed a wonderful representation of many lives that exists within a single personality. We live in a world that despite its embellished facade of modernity clutches us with its claws of dogma and stereotypes. Living in a constant conundrum of being yourself and fitting in can be exhausting. In such turbulent scenarios, the show moves us to embrace our flaws, wear them like our violet crown. For at the end, it's us who are entitled to unfold our happy ending with the power and conviction of our individual choices.
