Karan Mehra’s and Nisha Rawal’s marital feud has taken an increasingly ugly turn today. Nisha finally revealed how he physically abused her while his entire family was at home on the night of May 31, 2021. Nisha claimed that Karan grabbed her hair and pushed her head on the wall after she confronted him about his alleged extramarital affair. She claimed that it took her a moment to realize what had happened but by then he had pinned her on a wall while holding her neck. She revealed that he physically assaulted her last night and said that he had hit her with a bat and even punched her.
When asked whether Karan has been physically abusive in the past, Nisha said, "Haan, unhone mere upar haath uthaya hai, bohot hi aam baat hai, but because he is an actor, he is smart, he understands cameras, kai baar aisa hua ki mere face pe black and blue hua, kahi baar punch karte the, and kabhi bat se bhi." (Translation: Karan has assaulted me in the past. My face used to turn blue and black several times, he used to punch me, and even hit me with a bat.)
Now, Nisha’s friend, designer Rohit Verma has come out in support f her. Sharing her bleeding face on his Instagram, he wrote a lengthy post about how Nisha has been silently suffering the abuse in her relationship with Karan, just to uphold his image. He wrote, “I have been seeing silently suffer for years finally she decided to let out her cry for help and stand for herself and child. A far cry for help from a friend. Aghast to see my bestie in such a state . What makes a man become a demon in no time ?? My entire being is with my friend in this dark patch of her life .. she must rise up and give it a brave fight. Her pain , agony and harassment is beyond me to describe. Standing by her as a pillar of strength ,we are in this together my friend I hold your hand firmly to make u see the light. Hugs and courage.”
Rohit also spoke to a leading daily about Nisha’s ordeal and said that Karan had sold off her jewellery as well. He further negated Karan’s claims that Nisha is lying about the abuse and said, “Karan is lying, it’s not true, have you seen Nisha’s face. Whatever accusations Karan has been making are false and Nisha has all the proof. She has all the documents and all his claims are going to fall flat. If you see Nisha’s forehead she had to get four stitches. Uss ladki ne kya maanga apne bacche ke liye thoda sa paisa maanga na kya galat kiya. (Nisha only asked money for her son). Nisha left her career for love. She was more successful at one point of time when she left her career and got married to Karan. It was a big mistake that she chose love over her career. Even if you don’t get along it’s fine, but at least you can talk to each other politely. I have all the recordings where Nisha has tried to mend things and told him she is ready to stay with him in a small house also, and forgive his extramarital affair as well. She told him, they can work through social media and earn money. She gave all her jewellery to him. She was sitting with me in front of the cops and for the first time she was giving all the proof that Karan has been transferring all the money from her account to his own. All husband and wife have a feud but they ignore things so that their marriage can work out. Everything is fine, all husbands and wives have problems but you can’t raise your hand.”
Rohit further told the daily, “Police came and took all the evidence. Karan has got trapped in his own statement that Nisha ran out of the room and banged her head against the wall. Police have receded her statements and they have seen everything because she has all the documents and proofs. How much money Karan has transferred from Nisha's account to his own. Couple of months ago also, he had bashed Nisha but every time she would keep ignoring things. She did it for her 4-year-old son Kavish. My friend has gone through a lot, I can’t explain."
Talking about the incident, Rohit shared, "When he banged her head on the wall, three people were there in the house, the door was open. If you see the pictures of Nisha, no girl can bang her head on the wall like this. We are adults and we know that she is not fabricating the story. What wrong did this girl do? Is she not a good wife, mother? Is she not a good daughter-in-law? She is a lovely girl. She just wanted a settlement for her child. Karan was not agreeing to that and a heated argument took place. Yes, I agree Nisha lost her cool and raised her voice but that doesn’t give Karan an authority to just get up and bang her head against the wall. Rohit Shethia (Nisha’s brother) was sitting on the sofa and there is a distance between the room and the sofa. But the door was open, so when he banged her head and the sofa was reclining, it took him time to reach there. I was talking to Rohit bhaiya over the phone at that time and he had told me that they are having an argument and if it gets out of hand I will intervene. The moment it happened the phone got disconnected and Nisha’s mother called me up that Rohit please just come home fast, Karan had banged Nisha’s head against the wall."
The designer said that Karan never anticipated that Nisha will speak out and tarnish his Mr.Goody-two-shoes image in the media and said, “If you see the wall where Karan banged Nisha’s head it has blood. He switched off the camera and wiped the wall's blood stains, no normal person can do that. The door was open and there were three adult members of the family present in the house when the incident happened. So why is he lying? Karan did not know that all this will go out of hand and so far that Nisha will come out and speak finally. And his whole Ramchandraji image that he has will get destroyed completely. We never wanted to wash our dirty linen in public, we all come from respectful families but no man is allowed to raise hand on a woman.”
Designer Rohit Verma
Rohit also clarified about the mushy posts the couple had been sharing on social media and said, “That’s the thing, you have to sometimes let things go because you run your kitchen from that. Whatever the impression people carry, it’s not always true. There’s always two sides of a coin. Karan was like a father to me, I used to call him Karan Papa, but I never knew that he had so much malice against me also. He never liked me as a person, Nisha had told me so many times that he has malice in his heart about you. Aur main Karan Papa kehta nahi thakta tha Puri duniya mein... I have been with Nisha since last night and I will make sure tha she gets justice and her side is heard."
