]I don't personally think it's such a black and white issue as in he slapped her, so end of story....now we should all hate him.
I'm not justifying the slap....it was obviously wrong of him to do so but it was a situation that was building up with Pihu's incessant provoking....the things she was saying weren't right either....twisted "sense of humor" that she has so he ultimately retaliated...he did try words before it all led to the slap.
We all know why he slapped her; he is man with low self worth and a big ego who could not handle is girlfriend saying things about him. Instead of using words he had to show his brutishness and slap her. The writers minimized the slap with her saying the slap did not hurt as much as something else he did. The point is the slap was wrong and it does not give us a good image of him as a leading man. It's nothing admirable.
Everyone can have their own opinions but I honestly don't subscribe to the view that showing a person slapping someone once starts being equated to "extreme violence" or "domestic violence" etc. There is a difference b/w the way Rudra slapped her and typical "violence"....I can easily see the situation reversing and Pihu slapping him for saying something she didn't like either....they are both flawed characters.
Actually, it is and that's the case in all books on domestic abuse. It might not be "violent" in that we don't sese blood or bruises on her face, but it is abuse and falls under the term "violence" and is not acceptable. You can have a flawed character but is the only one the writers could come up with? Poor creativity.
And btw ppl are human, not everyone can have the perfect reaction to being provoked....one slap is not equal to a woman being beaten black and blue or punched in the face by abusive husbands. By that logic, many of us must have been slapped by our parents atleast once while growing up.....does that mean that they are equally "violent"??
Have you ever seen the Ashwariya Rai film "PROVOKED" ???? When men abuse women they use the SAME excuse - she said something that made me do it. Abuse does not have to consist of "beating a woman black and blue." Have you heard of emotional and verbal abuse? Pihu was not abusing her husband, she was acting as a spoilt brat and she was mean, but THAT did not give Rudra the right to slap her. A guy who has SELF-WORTH and CONFIDENCE and does not believen in raising his hand at a woman, does not slap her.
