In a series of Instagram stories, uploaded on Thursday, Tarun Tahiliani, the celebrated fashion designer, voiced his anger with the improper usage of his designs in the second season of Prime Video's hit web series 'Made in Heaven'.

The designer stated that "significant portions of the second episode of 'Made in Heaven 2' were styled using clothes provided by the Tarun Tahiliani studio in good faith to the stylist." He also expressed regret that his ideas were misrepresented in the web series by a fake designer.

"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," he wrote.

The designer continued and added: "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," he wrote.

While adding that he hopes that does not happen to any other designer, he said, "Let's hope that this scenario does not repeat itself with other designers who have graciously lent their work for OTT productions. Furthermore, it is our hope that such actions will never be considered acceptable in the future."

Tahiliani also released stills from the web series, in which Mrunal Thakur is seen putting on bridal outfits in the company of a fictional fashion designer in a studio. Bhawna Sharma, who styled the cast of 'Made In Heaven 2', has yet to make a statement on the situation.

For the unversed, the second season of the series is about Tara divorcing Adil, while Karan struggles to deal with his mother's sickness. At the same time, the two pals continue to plan lavish weddings for several couples. The Zoya Akhtar-Reema Kagti series stars Sobhita Dhulipala and Arjun Mathur in key roles along with Jim Sarbh, Kalki Koechlin, Shashank Arora, and Shivani Raghuvanshi.
