Also, R, I encourage you to read books and talk with experts in the field of family violence. Slapping a woman IS abuse. A lot of abuse starts of with "slapping" and the guy feels regretful and apologizes. He even feels bad. Then, another incident happens and he slaps the girl again. A man who choses to slap a woman, especially the woman he loves, has a serious anger problems and that's a BIG deal.Even if he was regretful and he has changed, the fact he did it in the first place puts a whole black mark on his character and the relationship he has with Pihu. It's hard for me to excuse this behavior and does, in part, ruin his character for me. It's also a bad way to see a relationship between Rudra and Pihu and a poor idea to get these characters to seperate. Other ideas would have been far more acceptable without demolishing Rudra's character. I understand they want to show him as a jerk, but there are better ways to do it.IF the writers are smart, Gauri should find out what factors promoted Pihu to leave him and Gauri should confront him about his temper and the fact he slapped her. I much needed line would be for her to tell him that if he ever lays a finger on her, she will walk out on his life forever.R. NO woman deserves to be slapped. Believe me, I have seen some women who are terrible wives but I do not support that their husbands slap them even when they are out of line.
