So the issue is that it is ok to slap when one feels justified and when one feels she is doing the right thing . . And pray what exactly is 'right ' ? For 'Right' is a very subjective term ............what is right for some is not right for others at all . . For instance Nainaji .She slapped Arushi when Arushi back sassed Krishna a lot at the havan . From Arushi's POV she was right and completely justified for in her eyes , her brother in law was a walking talking horror story . So in this sense , Arushi shud make Naina rub her nose on the ground and say sorry . . On the other hand , Naina shud feel fully justified in slapping Adarsh as he had been caught red handed with his old flame by her bahu . But Adarsh may not exactly feel that way coz actually Roli had been flirting with him , he had not reciprocated himself . So he shud insist on his mom issuing a public apology of sorts . . Dadi doesnt need to slap . She gives such hurtful verbal slaps that they sting far more than the physical ones .For instance , straightaway assuming that her granddaughter whom she knows for so many years is characterless . Yet no apology is demanded from her as she is someone special and all her faults need to be overlooked . . When Krishna slaps , apology is required , begging is required . Coz It seems Krishna shud not have a POV at all ! He MADE her lie it seems . OMG ! This firebrand who has such guts to stand up to any occasion , who is not terrified even after the tying up and being held at gunpoint and STILL tells him , unfazed , that YOU CAN BRING ME HERE AT GUNPOINT BUT U CANNOT MAKE ME SAY SORRY did not have these same guts to defy him outright at that point and refuse to participate in the lie . She has SELECTIVE MEMORY AND SELECTIVE GUTS . But wait . Why then did she go along with the lie even for a brief time ?Was it coz for a teeny weeny bit of time she KNEW in her heart that she had kind of CORNERED him by refusing him physical intimacy night after night and that he was desperately trying to hold his head above the waters of his chauvinistic sea household and that partly she had NOT HELPED with her stubborn stand ? Is THAT why she had gone along for that BRIEF time ?Coz the excuse that she was AFRAID just isnt BELIEVABLE anymore . She who is unafraid to speak in public or after being held at gunpoint was surely BRAVE even back then .So the Reason HAS TO BE GUILT . But let that be . Point is , Its is soooooo easy to say HE LIED .And On top of that he only slapped ?Chee Chee whatttt a coward ! . But R things so black and white ? So simple ? I dont think so . My view purely of course . . And so from his POV he slapped coz he had put up with enough of her constant rejection and then this obstinacy NOT TO LIE in front of a holy fire when this girl had nooooo problems lying mentally in front of a holy fire while taking marraige vows that require u to promise that u will keep ur life partner happy for life . NOT MISERABLE. . But I forgot . He is NOT a Saxena and so , no right to feel justified in slapping and his slaps require PENANCE .
