The incident reminds us of the romantic drama web series 'Made in Heaven' starring Arjun Mathur, Sobhita Dhulipala, Jim Sarbh, Shashank Arora, Kalki Koechlin, and Shivani Raghuvanshi.
Created by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, the series chronicles the lives of Tara and Karan, two wedding planners in Delhi running an agency named Made in Heaven.
In the fifth episode, an NRI family holds a beauty contest to find a bride for their son, for which the Made In Heaven team has been hired as wedding planners. The situation as bizarre as it seems has been portrayed as a normal incident to occur, with small-town girls preparing themselves to win the pageant.
The episode however is a tragic affair, since the groom is revealed to be impotent and his ex-wife fails while trying to reach the winner (new bride) to warn about the same. In the end, the winner, who learns this on their first night, leaves with the groom tearfully.
‘Made In Heaven’ is all set to return with season 2.
