Tarun Tahiliani Calls Out The Show
Fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani is less than pleased with the show’s makers. In a series of Instagram stories, Tarun alleged that the second episode of Made in Heaven 2— Beauty and the Beast— used his designs sans credit. He shared a screenshot from the episode and wrote, “It is most unfortunate when a popular OTT series violates the understanding behind the provision of clothing in the first place. Case in point: Significant portions of the second episode of ‘Made in Heaven,’ were styled using clothes provided by the Tarun Tahiliani studio in good faith to the stylist.”
In another story, he wrote, “Unfortunately, a fictitious designer (actor) representing a fictitious label presented our garments! This is a shocking breach of faith. If this is what the production house intended, they should have engaged a costume designer, had costumes designed, and proceeded as they saw fit.” Scroll down to see what Tarun had to say about the makers:
So far MIH’s directors Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti have not responded to the claims. But Taruns’s statement surely has sent shock waves in the fashion world!
