I’ve not been allowed to see my son in 100 days: Karan
It has been more than three months and I am fighting the battle. The matter is subjudice so I don’t want to talk much about it,” says actor Karan Mehra. Earlier this year, his wife, actor Nisha Rawal had accused him of domestic violence and filed a police complaint. In May, he was arrested for allegedly assaulting her and released on bail. Amid the ongoing dispute, Mehra, who hasn’t seen his four-year-old son Kavish since then, says, “I have not seen him in more than 100 days, not able to enter my home or take my belongings. It has been an emotional, disturbing and painful time.”
Mehra asserts that everyone in his family, including his parents, were falsely implicated in the case. “It is not right to put my parents through all this. The proceedings, the process and the fight are not easy. I am out of my house while she and her brother are in the house, aaram se,” says the actor. He reveals he has proof of every implication and will share them with the authorities “at the right time”. He says, “You can’t go head on in such matters. It doesn’t have to be a public trial. Kavish will see stories online of our fights. Things are being handled legally.”
His experiences have taught him that it is an uphill fight for men when implicated in a domestic violence case. “If a person like me is going through this, then one can’t even imagine what a regular guy must be going through. Thankfully, I have so many people who have been supportive, which really matters to me,” he concludes.
