I'm based in the US, so seeing women continue to be slapped in Indian movies, shows, is especially jarring. Here in the US, for years, men have not been shown hitting women in our shows/movies - and if they are shown doing this, they would also show them being punished. In India, esp. in light of the Delhi rape class which got such global coverage, I'm surprised they continue to show such violence. In other soaps, for example there was some Zee TV show a few years back where a guy raped a woman & he didn't even get punished.
Yes, Asad was mad and yes he thought Zoya was the cause of his mom being shot, but that's still no reason to just slap her as forcefully as he did. He could've yelled at her but resorting to physical violence is wrong. He should have at the very least let her explain herself.
