Shweta Tripathi's powerful performance as Priyanka Mishra in the web series 'Made in Heaven' is gaining renewed attention. In the episode 'The Price of Love,' Tripathi's character refuses to proceed with her wedding when the groom's family escalates dowry demands to Rs 4 crore.

Tripathi, also known for 'Mirzapur' and 'Masaan,' connected with her character's decision, stating she personally believes in not marrying someone by paying a dowry. She highlighted her upbringing, where education was prioritized above all else, fostering financial independence.
The actor expressed hope that the episode inspires women to stand up against such societal pressures, even if real-life situations are more complex than a scripted scene. Her career choices, she explained, are guided by instinct and ethical values.
