India, June 16 -- Mahadev & Sons, the television show starring Shakti Anand, Garvita Sadhwani and Sneha Wagh, has found itself at the centre of a controversy. The show which airs on Colors has ignited the debate of portraying domestic abuse on television, after an episode from it featured the male lead Dheeraj slapping Rajji and hurting her.

In the scene, which many X users complained about on the platform, Dheeraj (Aasim Khan) was seen slapping Rajji (Garvita Sadhwani), pushing her, and physically intimidating her. He pins her down on the bed and even burns her hand when it touches the hot iron. As she screams, he says that he will never have any feelings for her and their relationship feels like a trap, and he only has hatred for her....
