I just- can we not justify characters (or writers) when they are being abusive? Just, no.

When the Chatterjees were being abusive at least they were always shown as villains. Here, my eyes, argh.

i completely understand but here she is also hurting and thinks anurag is playing with her and the dance that shouldn't have happened

I am pretty sure she slaps him for the blast prank he pulled or the drama he did with priyanka. Let’s see.

As for Anurag moving on from Kajol, I completely agree. Both need to move on from each other. Both are just plain bad for each other. This is one ITV couple I am definitely not rooting for.

Ok but on a serious note: they have made Kajol utter some serious bullshit and now they hv made her slap Anurag.

I am not in favour of slapfests, but if I am honest, I can understand where the slap is coming from.

Kajol is hurt, disappointed and she feels cheated.....so hence her reaction

If I am honest, maybe I would hv done the same too.

Anurag asks her to communicate openly but accoording to her he hasnt done tht and lied / cheated her.

So maybe for this time, I might forgive Kajol for slapping Anurag. His behaviour at the party was proof enough acc to Kajol tht Anurag has been lying to her. She doesnt know wht goes on in his mind

Dude, just, NO

Even the fact that a spouse is cheating on you (that is even if Anurag was cheating on her) does NOT give you the right to get physically abusive. This is only warranted in very major situations, like the one with Arjun, wherein he had meted out enough and more violence upon her via dowry, caused father's death etc and which came from her as rightfully reactive rather than abusive.

These losers have ruined beyond redemption the one thing I watch this show for. Until now it was just embarassing to see the lack of logic and overly stretched plots but holy shit, I no longer can watch them without feeling extremely bitter and triggered. And if almost all of ITV couples are like this, I am glad I have not regularly followed this industry and totally regret having done it now

To hell with their upcoming romance

EDIT: (Head cooled down a bit so have to say this, not a reply to @Esha alone but just generally want to voice this out)

In no situation should abuse be condoned. With respect to gender, I notice that slaps and physical abuse have often been- i)normalised when men hit women in cis heterosexual relations and ii) when women hit men, its seen as a joke/as though its something to laugh at the guy for. At the root of all this are misogynistic attitudes wherein since the man is supposed to be stronger, the fact that he gets hit/violence is used against him is seen as trivial, whereas when women face violence its seen as something that is "necessary" to keep a woman "in her place". This nonsensical attitude breeds misogynistic violence and merely the fact that a character, or the actor playing such a character is someone we like should never be used to justify such behaviour.

Bold: At the expense of being repetitive- please let us avoid justifying or thinking up possible reasons for physical abuse

To hell with this show

Please don’t do that. I am not justifying anything. I am thinking why she did it. How is that the same.

Frankly, I am done with the passive aggressiveness on this forum. If one is not an Anurag fangirl, you are not allowed to put forward your opinion without either being accused of curbing someone’s fun or bashing the ML.

Sorry to respond to your post. Will keep myself limited to a few members here from next time.

Hi just to clear that up- I was not being passive aggressive to you, or to anyone. My point has literally been the same to almost all the posts here since I saw that precap, which I still believe is being justified by a lot of members here.

Saw the Precap on Voot. Anurag and Kajol are having a semi confrontation. Kajol tells him that she doesn't love him and she had lied that day. Anurag being a total ass provokes her by saying that it would have been better that he would have died atleast "aap mujhe sache dil se seene se lagati". Kajol then reacts emotionally to the emotional blackmail in that statement and slaps him.

This is a common ITV trope where the hero says something like this and the heroine reacts emotionally and Dil ki baat zubaan pe aa jati h.(what is in the heart comes to the fore)

Thanks so much for the update Arivarshi.

Won’t say anything lest I be told that I am justifying abuse LOL.

Bold: Who deserved it more?😂😂😂😂

Edit: The slap is a reaction, don't say such things. Anurag wanted a reaction and he got one. It proves to him that no matter what Kajol says, she cares about him and loves him. It is a validation that he is not wrong because Kajol is trying to escape her feelings for him and but by provoking her by such harsh words he has been able to get a raw and honest reaction from her.
