This is my issue with this.
I acknowledge:
1. Women, no matter their positions of power, do find it hard to report abuse. SEXUAL abuse. Or physical abuse if it's from family because they end up prioritizing family and reputation over their sense of self worth and even safety.
2. Blind says he slapped her. Physical abuse. She clearly didn't have a problem talking to her dad and KJo about it acc to this blind.
3. She was clearly not powerless, given her parents and her connections.
4. Even then, the talk was Karthik walked out, which was damaging enough to his reputation.
For this blind to be true, we'd have to believe:
1. Karthik was dumb enough not to recognize this girl came with clout and attacking her could totally get him ostracized.
2. Boney and KJo somehow decided not to talk about this either directly or through blinds at the time.
3. Jhanvi decided not to talk about it.
4. Her entire gang then got their turns with Karthik.
5. None of them talked about it.
6. Their families didn't talk about it.
7. They somehow decided to talk right when Jhanvi has a film coming up.
8. They somehow decided to talk after he gave a big hit and was talked about all over the place
9. Somehow, Dharma gang's history of spreading blinds vanished.
I am 100% a feminist. And I want to give the girl the benefit of doubt. But truth is more important. You simply cannot accuse someone of assault, physical or sexual, without him having done it.
At this time, the blind seems to be a lie. I reserve the right to change my mind if there is actual evidence which DOES NOT INVOLVE OTHER NEPO GIRLS ALLEGING SIMILAR.
