Coming to the show,what will you make of love without moral values??slapping a woman is no sign of a person who bear a good moral character,his memories are haunting him so he can slap astha,who is she to him?his wife his fiancee or a friend or what???even if she is his wife slapping her in any situation I will call it barbaric and an abuse.

no matter how badly his memories are haunting him he has no right to slap her,to grab her,to hurt her or to even shout on her.

Astha is no better than him,on one side she's helping a woman abused by her inlaws and the very second moment she got slapped by shlok,I hope cvs are not planning to make astha fall for shlok after being slapped by him,that would be pathetic.

Are cvs trying to show that when shlok will find out what is happening with her sister that moment he will understand that as long as he will not respect a woman how his own sister will be treated good and till than astha will let shlok abuse her???

Sorry but this is no love at all.

Well said. That slap wasn't just for fun for Shlok, he was actually worried for Aastha. Aastha's dad said to him to take care of her.

The circumstances were the way they were when she helped the girl not knowing she is Shlok's sister. Aastha deserved that slap, he was frantically looking for her, she was his responsibility and still is till she gets back home.

Although I did feel for her, but she never thinks about the consquences

If you are going to talk about a real life situation then Shlok could get arrested for physical abuse or atleast sued. He is an employer. He does not have the right to hit his employees. Not to mention that its morally wrong.

I asked my roommate what she thought about this. I told her the whole story in an unbiased manner. She is African American...so she doesnt know anything about indian shows. She is totally unbiased. As soon as I told her she was like no no no. He did not hit a woman.

An employeer does not hit his employee. A man does not hit a woman (well a good man atleast). But I have realized Shlok is not a good man. I don't care how much you sit there and defend Shlok but an honorable man would NEVER hit a woman (well short of she tried to kill him. I think if a woman tries to kill a man, then thats extenuated circumstances).

I get that he is an angry young man and all, but I think this show just takes everything really far. Very far. Women are treated like dirt in this show, and men like god. What if Shlok had left Aastha alone like that and she had slapped him? Would he be fine with that? Would he just let that go the way you guys except Aastha to forget about it?

I don't stand for slaps from either party. Why resort to violence when you can get things done with words.

Oh well, I have accepted that Shlok is a horrible excuse for a hero, and a worse excuse for a man. But I still watch this show because I dont know why. I like the chemistry maybe. But thats doesnt mean I am blind to how horrible a person Shlok is. I just try to turn my morals off while I watch this show. It's hard sometimes like today.

P.S. I am not saying Aastha is a saint. She has her faults too, but her heart is in the right place atleast. Shlok's is not.

What a furores...I wonder if the slap was from Astha to Shlok or any other female lead to a male lead...would be still complaining??? A slap is a slap...doesn't matter who receives it...just because the girl got it doesn't make it worse...time to come out of it...we can sustain any kind of blow...this minion slap is nothing...I am sure Astha is going to give it back in her own way...like any girl would do!!!!

I am shocked and disgusted with any sort of justification that people are providing for Shlok.

A slap is never okay/justified/excusable.

I don't care if you think that the slap is because Shlok is falling in love with Astha. So what?

Are you honestly JUSTIFYING his behavior?

As women we should stand united against such behavior, especially considering the high rates of domestic violence.

Violence is a black and white issue. There is a clear line that should not be crossed. Once you start justifying and excusing such behavior, where is the line?

So by your logic, if a husband slaps a wife because he wrongly thinks that she is cheating, then this is okay? He slapped his wife because he loves her and cannot even deal with the idea that someone else may be in her life. He slapped her because he has been wronged many times in his life (his mother left his father and his family when he was 8 years old). His wife is the only woman he trusts and it took him a long time to trust anyone ever again. Just the thought of her cheating on him made him crazy, so he slapped her. By your logic, this is okay? What if he kicked her too? What if he slapped her on each cheek? Where do you draw the line?

Wrong is wrong. Simple as that.

I am not attacking you as a person, rather I am merely countering your logic.

I got very annoyed when I read your post because I think that the type of thinking displayed in your post shows the very type of problem which excuses violence (of any kind) and makes domestic violence into no big deal.

It is a big deal. Please do not justify such actions.

I know that an Indian serial is not real life, but when serials show such scenes, they are promoting or showing that these actions are okay.Furthermore, most of us on this forum are old enough to realize that such action is wrong, but what about younger children who watch serials? What about those households in which violence like this occurs daily (we know that these situations exist not just in India, but worldwide)?

There are teenage girls who are in "love" with Shlok, so what kind of message does this send? Is it okay for good-looking men to show their passion through such actions? It doesn't matter if in the next episode, Shlok realizes that his action was wrong. As a mature, adult male he should never have slapped a woman. Plain and simple.

P.S. The fact that the slap was edited out of the U.K. telecast further reinforces my points.

P.P.S. The aim of my post is not to insult or attack anyone. We are all merely expressing our opinions and engaging in healthy debate. My apologies to anyone who feels offended by my post. I know the author of the post said to only comment if you agree, but I think that isn't very democratic. I don't like the idea of this thread, and wanted to express my opinion. Freedom of expression, right?😃

Why are u comparing REEL life to REAL life.. Use ur own logic in reality if someone would slap u, u would punch them back!! U sound very silly comparing this to real life! It's a SOAP! A DRAMA! ACTING! I u dont like what ur seeing stop watching then!!!

I'm loving the show so far...they are showing the kind of behaviour and reality from some men in the society instead of ignoring it...And it's unfortunate that some viewers are trying to ignore and making an issue out of it (but i'm happy because people starts commenting on the important issue )

Lets not try to be blind...

When you watch these kind of scenes it might look shocking but most importantly it also rises conversations about such behaviours and aware people that it exists and they should be wise about it. And question people what would they do if it ever happens to them or their family or friends.

Life is NOT all about boy looking into girl's eyes, fall in love and live happily ever after it's unfortunate but it's a fact. Millions of women go through many abuses and it's important to show instead of hiding it.

characters are not black or white...they cant change overnight, the complexity of shlock is what we love about him, whist i personally dont like physical violence it fitted in the scene well...his inner turmoil always causes him to be physically violent...

some girls get attracted to this personality, after years of being with an abusive person they go for another abusive person again. Astha should have left him after hotel scene but she didnt, and i dont think she will ever leave him...she is attracted to him, regardless of his nature...he is not pretending to be a soft natured person...she knows whats she is in for

loved the episode...inclusion of his sister scenes made it so much more interesting

Zeenie, I found your comment rude and immature.

Firstly, notice how in my argument, I had issue with the content of the POST. I did not criticize/attack/insult the poster. Please take note.

You, on the other hand, failed to grasp the merit or content of my post. Rather, you tried to make it personal and told me I "sound very silly", and told me to "stop watching". Your personal remarks are unwarranted and undesired.

I think we are all aware that this serial is not real life. Yes, I did not like the slap in the serial. However, an even bigger issue for me was that people were actually JUSTIFYING the slap, as something which was no big deal. I found this stream of reasoning to be shocking and inappropriate.

If you read the general consensus on this forum, then you should be aware that it seems the majority of people who have posted about the slap incident are actually very much against it.

Did you know that the slap was actually taken out of the UK telecast?

Clearly, there is evidence to show that people have taken offense to this incident.
