I am very very surprised at reading the comments. Really surprised to see that people think that it is okay to SLAP someone, a bahu, in front of the WHOLE house and not do anything about it. Nobody uttered a single word to RB - instead every single person tells Suhana to forget it. Yes, Ishaan has the right to have one flaw, but to leave his wife standing by herself while she gets slapped?

I am strongly against violence of any kind, especially domestic violence, and to me it is extremely disturbing that nobody dealt with it and everyone is telling the victim here to forget it.

It is everyone's business how RB behaves with Deepak. If it was between RB and Deepak alone, it would be fine. But RB and the entire family expects everyone else to ignore Deepak, and since everyone else has to change their behavior towards him to suit RB, they have a right to question. Badi maa keeps saying "yes you are right" but does not do anything about it. Instead she tells her "you have a right over Suhana"... meaning she can slap Suhana?

I am disturbed that people think it is okay to slap Suhana because RB was under pressure. It just feels wrong that society can overlook domestic violence. It doesn't matter that the violence was unintentional and may not be repeated - it still does not excuse the behavior. I loved watching this serial, but the violence and the behavior of everyone afterwards has left an extremely bad taste and I cannot watch it without thinking that everything is just superficial. Every time someone praises the family, its superficial.

Ummmm I'm more surprised that RB's slap to Suhana is now being equated to domestic violence😕.....there are like 20 slaps in every daily soap with the three times repeat motion special effect and those seem to work just fine for ppl....on an average, every "sati savitri" heroine of a typical daily soap slaps the hero or any number of ppl once a month atleast.....and here ppl are making it sound as if god knows what kind of violence is going on in this show....I find that to be a bit extremist and overreacting....and frankly THAT is more disturbing to me that ppl can misconstrue the situation in such a manner😕

I feel that the nuances of this situation are being missed out....what RB did in that moment was human......so many times we are shown that ppl lash out in frustration and behave in unexpected ways.....and it's not like she was sitting there and gloating about what she did.....she was as horrified as everyone else....she felt regret for it....expressed that regret to Suhana.....then I don't understand what else is expected here....that she be booked on charges of "domestic violence" and turned over to the police?

THANK YOUUUU!!! 👏 👏 Perfectly said yaar. I agree completely.

No offence nach baliye, but I think you're totally missing the point. Domestic violence, seriously?? Do you honestly think this is that extreme an issue??!! Wow, I don't even know what to say to such a reaction...:S

Are we even watching the same show!!

I don't get it. I simply don't get how you can even equate that slap to domestic violence and all....Seriously no offence but extreme much??

Like Anu above said, jeez what do you want from Radha bua? She frickin' apologized and felt regret. She so lovingly told Suhana to not leave. She felt remorse in today's episode as well. Do you not think that her genuine words and remorse counts for anything? You honestly think she should be PUNISHED for something like this?

What about all the times Radha bua has shown affection towards Suhana? Last time I checked, Radha bua does most of Suhana's work like fold her clothes etc. for her. She cooks her food, her favourite dishes from time to time. All that...so by your logic, she should also get AWARDED for all those gestures no?

You don't PUNISH/ AWARD your family dude! I'm sorry but I do not understand your reaction to this situation at all!

I think the fact that Radha bua feels bad and she let's Suhana know that she wants her to stay means alot. The fact that she CARES means alot.

I honestly don't think we're watching the same show dude.

I think I know what the problem is. Since everybody has gotten into the mould of 'k' serials, nobody can think beyond culprits falling on the feet & begging 'mujhe maaf kar do'. I just don't know how anybody is even expecting that RB will apologize to Suhana!!!!😕 In real life when elders make mistake, they accept their faults and the young accept that itself as 'apology of sorts' after all elders making mistakes don't make them any less respectful for the young. And in this case RB isn't the maid of the house! She's the bua - even if there aren't blood relations, family doesn't consider her any less....

I hated today's episode, and found the entire family very hypocritical and manipulative. They made it seem as if it was okay to slap Suhana, as if that was not as abnormal. First of all, RB had no right to slap Suhana. Second, the entire family did not say anything. Badi maa, who is normally mature, left after RB instead of checking to see if Suhana is okay.

When Suhana's family came over, they were more embarrassed and concerned that they would find out, and were pretending as if everything is okay. While I understand that, it just reeked of hypocrisy. Suhana's MIL is concerned that they will not be able to meet Suhana's family's eyes if they found out about the incident - how about not being able to meet their eyes because of WHAT THEY DID, and not because of what they know? The family had the brains to be embarrassed and realize that they did something very wrong, and yet they did not care enough to apologize or say something to RB. The RB sympathy track has gone on long enough - they are so blind to their own that they are okay with injustice being done.

Then dadi and Ishaan went to Suhana's room being nice to her just to smooth over the night before's issue. And dadi spews her crap about RB having gone through a lot and bla bla. RB comes to Suhana's room and is able to meet her eyes and make an excuse that since she was angry she did something wrong. She even says that the family did nothing wrong. This is just so wrong on so many levels. RB does not give a damn about anyone except for herself. She should have apologized. Instead she spoke in a language that Suhana would understand and kind of manipulated her. It was pathetic. I lost all respect that I had for the family, and feel that a deep sense of injustice has been done to Suhana.

I cannot believe that the story has been presented in this manner. It was so humiliating for Suhana, and Ishaan can say he loves her but he did not stand up for her. This is the first time that I found the episode to be extremely superficial. Time and time again, the serial shows Suhana as stupid and completely brainless, even though her sister is much more mature. Really, are people so brainless?

You r absoloutely right.........RB is just too much.😡😡.. I wonder how being a mom she seems normal.😡😡......at least dadi/dada/badi maa should scold her and make her understand the reality........and Suhana should not have forgiven her so easily.....she should have told them that if Deepak is not found and brought back, she will leave the house....and I did not like the way Ishaan stood helpless.......😡
None is bothered about poor Deepak's whereabouts...😡
All in all, I did not like the way the 'slap track' is being handled😡

Dude, clearly we are watching different shows and have different sets of values. So what if RB cooks good food for Suhana? Does that give her a right to slap? I don't think so, dude. Suhana is irresponsible towards the family and insensitive to their feelings, but that is not the situation here - the situation is that Suhana was slapped and she did not even do anything wrong. You are connecting two totally separate situations - RB deserves to be rewarded for cooking for Suhana, I guess, or Suhana should give something back. But again, the slapping incident has nothing to do with RB's cooking or being rewarded for the same.

Regarding soap operas and the general acceptance of slapping, the thing is, I don't watch these crappy soaps. I cannot stand saas-bahu type typical serials where people are free to slap and insult and family members die and return, remarry, and try to trip each other at every step. I don't want any of these shows - I do watch Pratigya and SGP.

Technically, slapping is domestic violence any which way you see it or interpret it. It is technically domestic violence - regardless of whether the one slapping is a man or a woman. In Suhana's case, it was not just the violent action - it was the humiliation and "crowd" mentality where no elder stood up for her and kept telling her to forget it. After that, whatever RB did, to me, seemed fake. First she cries and blames Suhana for provoking her. Then she persuades Suhana to stay (mind you, she does not say sorry). Then she goes to Badi maa and tries to be a martyr saying that Suhana has a greater right over the house and that she (RB) should leave. Does she not know from the 20 years she has spent with them that they will stop her and tell her that it is wrong of her to think that way? Yet she plays the martyr? RB had good intentions, but it cannot be denied that she is a very selfish woman, who was taken in by a family she was not related to and yet cannot even love her own son. Honestly, the scene where she tells Badi maa no need to give Deepak new clothes, and seeing tears in Deepak's eyes broke my heart -- it really did. And RB could not even feel that much?

I would say, put yourself in Suhana's shoes. If you are married, think how you would feel in her situation if someone in your in-laws' family slaps you in front of everyone and your hubby behaves like a coward. RB's state of mind does not matter - so what if she regretted and apologized? Suhana still forgave her very easily and it was irresponsible on other elders part to not say anything to RB. You can care as much as you want, but if you slap someone clearly you don't care and your words are just that - words.

So much reaction & sympathies for Suhana.... What about Ishaan's humiliation & suffering when his new bride claimed - "I was supposed to be married to 'rich & famous' & not to YOU.... " Incidently since we know that we are watching a serial & know in the end "aal wil be wel", we are not bothered. But for what Suhana did to Ishaan & his family (she'll still in the family just to prove her own point..) and the agony that Ishaan is going through even now, I feel Suhana needs to face some harsh realities in life. I'm married & putting myself in Suhana's shoes, I cannot imagine being overbearingly interfering in my husband's relatives private life without even knowing them well enough. If everybody in the family is concerned about something, one should at least try to sort things out instead of saying - 'bhaad mein jaye sab- I'll do things my way"
