Mahadev & Sons, a popular television show, has found itself at the center of a controversy after a recent episode featured the male lead slapping and physically intimidating his partner. The scene, which has sparked widespread outrage on social media, has ignited a debate about the portrayal of domestic abuse on television.
Many viewers took to social media to express their disgust and disappointment at the show's handling of the sensitive issue. One user commented, 'They're romanticising abuse - pushed her around, slapped her, dumped a bucket of water on her, now burned her with an iron and he's covering her screams in the name of romance??? End this crap!' Another user said, 'I can't believe what I saw today. They literally showed Dheeraj hurting Rajji and then eventually romanticising abuse. He should be in jail, this is so disgusting . can't believe he is the same man who saved her from getting hurt by coming in between.'
The show, which airs on Colors TV, has been accused of glorifying domestic violence and sending a negative message to its young viewers. The show's creators have been called out for their irresponsible handling of the issue, with many users demanding that they do better.
