I am sure many of us are thinking, this is the 21st century, why should Nandini tolerate Rajdeep's abuse.No matter how liberated we feel we are, we are still the weaker sex and Men are very strong. Also, there are such men who find vicarious thrill in hurting others and if they find that their spouse or girlfriend is weak and do not attack back, they gain more strength in abusing and each time they abuse, they feel powerful, which is the case of Rajdeep and Nandini.
The sad part is with the case of such husbands, the wives will always be in a forced helpless stage. She will always have a panic attack even when she hears her husband's breathing. She will forget to be happy as she feels it is not worth it. The husband makes sure she is emotionally and physically drained to the point that she will be in a total vegetable stage.
The psyche of such wives is that when they come out of this abusive stage, they will be in a denial for a long time and then they will look for love in all the wrong places. They are starved for affection and will grasp on to anyone who will give them an ounce of interest.
Even today we can see wives being burnt to ashes and half burnt, left in the hospitals to die. They are abused because they bore girl child even though it is the Male's chromosome which determines the sex of the child. Still, they stay with the abuser because they feel it is their duty to stay with the husband or they are helpless. The stigma of the divorce is considered much worse than the being abused.
Yes, Abuse is real and it is happening everywhere. I am glad Dhrasti was brave enough to take on such a role and bring to the public about such abuses.
