TV Show Sparks Outrage Over Domestic Violence Portrayal
16 Jun
Summary
- Show features a scene where male lead slaps and injures female character.
- Viewers accuse the series of romanticizing domestic abuse on social media.
- The Colors TV show airs Monday to Friday at 10:00 pm IST.
The Hindi television series 'Mahadev and Sons' is facing severe backlash from social media users who are outraged over a disturbing sequence that appears to normalize domestic violence. The Colors TV show, starring Shakti Anand, Garvita Sadhwani, and Sneha Wagh, came under fire after an episode depicted the male protagonist, Dheeraj, slapping and physically harming Rajji.
On X, numerous viewers expressed their dismay, accusing the series of romanticizing abuse. A specific scene showed Dheeraj not only slapping Rajji but also pushing her, pinning her down, and burning her hand with an iron while she screamed. Critics found this depiction deeply disturbing and unacceptable for television programming.
Further criticism arose from a plot point where another character, Nimmi, wanted Rajji to reconcile with Dheeraj for strategic reasons against an antagonist named Mogra. This narrative choice further fueled the outrage, with viewers arguing that it disregarded the severity of Rajji's mistreatment and prioritized plot over safety. The show airs from Monday to Friday at 10:00 pm IST.
