Yeah, nobody would forgive Ashok if he did it. So then why should we be softer towards Raman? I'm sure that the CVs won't glorify his abuse so I'm not too disturbed by what they're showing, however I am disturbed by the negative portrayal of his character. It'll be hard for him to be redeemed in mine and probably a lot of other people's eyes.
When he had cornered Ishita that time when he was drunk, he never apologized to her, nor did we see Ishita giving it back to him for manhandling her after that night. More than anything, it was romanticized that time. That's what I hate. When TV serials romanticize abuse.
That left a negative mark on Raman's character too, and this just made the mark darker. How he will redeem himself now is to be seen.
I doubt it will be edited out because in nearly all of Ekta's shows, one of the male leads has an aggressive side to him (sometimes even slapping the female lead), and it doesn't even get questioned.
