Six months after their marriage, Mandana filed a domestic violence case against her husband Gaurav Gupta. Mandana revealed that she was physically abused and humiliated by her mother-in-law.Mandana said in an interview
Yes she is, but I think things will get better over time. I changed my religion. I accepted Hinduism and our wedding was held according to Hindu rituals. She only allowed us to get married because her son wanted to marry me. Now when she realizes that her son is planning to move out of the house and break up the business, she tells Gaurav that either you choose Mandana or you choose her. My husband Gaurav had no choice and decided to live with his mother. I always joked about the evil mother-in-law in Balaji’s daily soaps but never thought this would happen to me. She used to abuse and humiliate me. In fact, I was the one who told Gaurav that we would stay with our family. I will work hard. I tried really hard but they were always mean to me and never accepted me as a member of the family. She used to tease me “India my love sana hhota, tum iran se hona toh tumhe kya pata indian ka culture”
Later, Mandana dropped the case and separated from her husband Gaurav.
