Prakash Ambedkar praised Radhika Apte's Dalit character Pallavi Menke in Amazon Prime Video web series Made in Heaven Season 2.

The second season of the much-awaited web series Made in Heaven was recently released on Amazon Prime Video to positive reviews. The fifth episode with Radhika Apte as a Dalit bride especially grabbed eyeballs. Even Prakash Ambedkar, B.R. Ambedkar’s grandson and a Dalit leader, praised the episode and its director Neeraj Ghaywan on Twitter
Taking to his Twitter handle, Prakash wrote, “I absolutely loved the assertion, defiance and resistance of the Dalit woman character — Pallavi. For those Vanchits and Bahujans who have watched the episode — Assert your identity and only then you gain political prominence. As Pallavi puts it, ‘Everything is about the politics.’ Jai Bhim!”
He posted two pictures and in one of the picture, Apte is seen saying, “Everything is about the politics.” The second picture is of a Buddha portrait and a BR Ambedkar portrait from the Buddhist wedding in the episode. An overwhelmed Neeraj Ghaywan replied to the post and wrote, “This is everything! Thank you so much, sir.”
