Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 continues to rule hearts across the globe with its rooted storytelling and characters. Post the recent six-year leap, there have been several pressing issues affecting the Virani family making the state of Shanti Niketan heart breaking to watch. One of these issues has been Hrithik’s mental state majorly due to the abuse by his wife Mitali.

 

While entertainment often showcases domestic abuse of a physical nature and affecting wives, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 has shown a lesser discussed and lesser-known form of domestic abuse. Mitali has verbally and emotionally abused her husband Hrithik every day, often mocking and questioning his worth, and calling him a “loser.” She has never left any opportunity to degrade him too.
Hrithik unfortunately reached a point where even he began to think that he really was a loser and attempted suicide. While Shanti Niketan also faces a domestic abuse case with Pari and Ranvijay, it is important to note that Hrithik has also been a victim of domestic abuse, and this should create awareness that domestic abuse can affect husbands, and it is not always in the form of physical violence.
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 deserves praise for showing this issue, and it would be nice if it could be tied with Pari’s case too, just to ensure viewers understand different forms of domestic abuse.
Meanwhile, Aman Gandhi, who plays Hrithik has been delivering a standout performance in the role, carefully portraying the pain victims and people in similar situations go through.
