Violence is a sign of weakness: Neeraj Goswami aka Parth of ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’

Star Plus show ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ has kept the fans glued to the TV screens. The current tracks of the show revolve around Abhimanyu learning about Parth beating Shefali and that she is physically abused several times. He tries to expose Parth but Shefali doesn’t let the truth come out for the sake of her son. However, Abhimanyu motivates her and tells her that she needs to put across a better example for her son Shivu so that he grows up to respect women.

Shefali gives it a thought and plans to expose Parth. The scene was beautifully shot and was impactful, to say the least. India Forums got in touch with actor Neeraj Goswami who plays the character of Parth in the show and asked him if the track affected him personally, he said, “Well, only when I’m preparing for the scenes, I make sure it does, so that I can perform accordingly but once done, it's forgotten. I don’t let it affect me personally after the scene is shot."

Any violence, unless done in self-defense, is not acceptable. Violence is a sign of weakness. Only when your words fail, do your limbs arise. I hope the message that the show wanted to put across reaches the masses.

Sharing his views on domestic violence, Neeraj said, “Any violence, unless done in self-defense, is not acceptable. Violence is a sign of weakness. Only when your words fail, do your limbs arise. I hope the message that the show wanted to put across reaches the masses. Hope both the victims and the culprits/abusers learn a thing or two from this track so that the issue of domestic violence reduces, if not vanishes completely.”

Post the revelation, Parth is asked to leave the Birla mansion. As far as the track of the show is concerned, the upcoming episodes will have a major twist as both the couples Abhimanyu- Aarohi and Akshara – Abhinav are set to move on but a tragedy strikes and Abhir goes missing. Akshara calls Abhimanyu to inform him about Abhir.
