Television show Mahadev and Sons has landed in controversy after a recent episode sparked outrage among viewers for its portrayal of domestic violence. The backlash erupted following a scene featuring Dheeraj and Rajji, where Dheeraj is shown physically assaulting Rajji, only for the sequence to be framed within the show's ongoing enemies-to-lovers narrative.

Netizens slam the show for domestic violence track

Several viewers took to social media to express their disappointment, accusing the makers of glorifying abuse and presenting toxic behaviour as a form of romance. Critics argued that the scene crossed a line by normalising domestic violence rather than addressing it responsibly. Many pointed out that physical abuse should never be used as a storytelling device to build romantic tension between characters.
