The popular show Mangal Lakshmi takes a bold step in shedding light on a crucial social issue—the false accusations that men face.
In the current storyline, Kartik, is falsely accused of molestation by his ex-girlfriend, Jiya. Despite being the victim of her advances, Kartik (Shubham Dipta) is wrongfully framed, and society, including the media and police, rush to declare him guilty without any evidence.
The situation escalates as Kartik’s wife, Lakshmi (Sanika Amit), struggles to find a lawyer to represent him due to intense media pressure calling for his conviction. Kartik’s reputation and career as a well-known musician, is also taking a hit in the process. Not forgetting the stress his family is undergoing too.
In the recent news there has been some shocking and disturbing occurrences whereby men have even been taking their own lives due to being falsely accused and a law which favours women even when their claims are false.
This track powerfully highlights this disturbing trend where some women misuse laws to falsely accuse men, causing immense emotional, social, and legal distress. In India and many parts of the world, this issue is often overlooked, with little focus on the men who suffer from such false allegations.
By addressing this topic, Mangal Lakshmi brings attention to the importance of due process, fairness, and the need for a balanced approach when dealing with accusations of this nature. It also creates more awareness about the issues which men face in our current times.
Mangal Lakshmi airs globally on Colors TV at 9 p.m.
