Whether on purpose or not on purpose, the CVs are showing it. In society, no one should condone such things. Yes, I know it was an accident and my husband has accidently hurt me a few times-which I know is not on purpose but it was not coupled with fighting/arguing. I have not seen the episode but the basic jist is that they are arguing and he pushes her causing her to bruise. If I was arguing with my husband and he pushed me causing me to get a bruise, I would label it as abuse. There is nothing right in that. And as human, we should not condone it just because it was not on purpose.
What the CVs need to keep in mind, is that what they are showing is across the world and is reaching many impressionable minds. I have a daughter and I dont want her to watch these shows and think it is ok if a guy hurts her and because it wasn't done "on purpose" it is ok. It will lead to phyical abuse in a relationship. As women, we need to stand up against atrocities like these.
I love the show and I love the characters, but the continued sick portray of phyical hurt being caused to Khushie at Arnav's hands is plain old wrong!
