Colors TV’s Mahadev And Sons is drawing criticism after a viral scene involving characters Dheeraj and Rajji. Multiple viewers accuse the show of romanticizing domestic abuse, pointing to moments where Dheeraj slaps Rajji, pushes her, and is shown physically intimidating her. Social media users describe the portrayal as “toxic,” arguing that such depiction should not be framed as romance or emotional drama. The backlash targets both the show’s makers and the channel for airing the sequence. Some comments also question how the scene is cleared for broadcast and express concern about normalizing abusive behavior.

The controversy comes after the series previously faced allegations related to cast and production disputes. Earlier, actress Manasi Salvi’s exit led to public claims including her announcement of legal action against the producer, with allegations that her resignation was initially accepted but then handled differently later. Mahadev And Sons airs Monday to Friday at 10:00 pm IST on Colors TV.
