i say no coz
in PR thappad toh jaise aam baat hai, but in reality slapping someone without understanding the gravity of situation is unacceptable
sahi raah pe laane ke liye parents do use such measure n we all will agree ki bachpan mein or we can say even as 18 yr old our parents do raise hands on us if we are wrong
but, josh mein aake hosh gawana is the best pick up line in tele shows...the leads r either angry or broken from inside or hurt and they give the excuse that mera bharosa toota bla bla...in real life such things don't happen
sorry for the long post, but slaps can cost a persons life, thappad in public infuriates a person to such an extent that they become mad to take revenge n so i am completely against publicly slapping
bacho ko right way dikhane ke liye haath uthao but sab ke saamne slapping equals humiliation and no one can bear it😡
and as far as what manav did to archu i would say it was a downmarket and cheap act, pati-patni mein fight hoti hai par char diwari mein zyada achi lagti hai ... PR mein thappad public ko entertain ke liye maarte hai, but the cv's n ekta are foolish to even think that audience loves it😡
