well he abuses her, slaps her, even says she is nothing without him, but more than that wat troubled me is how he took ownership of preeti. he doesn't ask her on a date, he doesn't try to get to know her or even ask if she is interested, he just sees her, tells everyone she is his and thats it, they are in a relationship. and i have seen videos of guys cheering in the theatre over those scenes. the danger is guys taking inspiration that this is the way to get a girl, to take ownership of her and if she says no get angry and violent
But Preeti showed agency later on by not going back to him and trying to make it on her own. When the film ended I saw them as equals.
