MUMBAI : The actors of ‘Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye’ are glad the show is 
questioning the gender bias against female divorcees in society
Zee TV's popular show Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye has been captivating audiences with its gripping storyline and the on-screen chemistry between Amruta (played by Sriti Jha) and Virat (played by Arjit Taneja). In the upcoming episodes, viewers will get to watch the wedding festivities of Jayesh (Iqbal Azad-Amruta's father) and Ishika (Deekshha Sonalkar Tham), where Babita (Kishori Shahane) tries to execute an evil plan of humiliating Bhavani (Hemangi Kavi) by bribing the mehendi artist to write ‘Divorcee’ on her hand in the function. Bhavani who isn’t educated doesn’t realize what’s written on her hand. On learning that his own mother is behind this play out of events, Virat takes a stand for Bhavani and writes ‘Divorcee’ on his hand too. After all, he himself has been through a divorce!

While Arjit Taneja expresses profound satisfaction in portraying a character willing to challenge norms and stereotypes, taking a bold step like having ‘Divorcee’ written on his hand with mehendi wasn't just a scripted moment for him. The scene was an opportunity to underline the importance of NOT blowing divorce out of proportion and discriminating especially against divorced women as if there’s something wrong with them and they are solely responsible for their failed marriage. In a world where divorce comes with a stigma, Arjit believes it's crucial for the society to accept and treat men and women in the same way.

Arjit Taneja said, "I am really proud to be a part of Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye where the writers are addressing real life issues. We live in a society where divorced men and women are treated differently. We recently shot for a sequence where my character, Virat who is also a divorcee stands up for Bhavani, who is being ridiculed and called names for her husband having left her for another woman. Through this show, we want to change these outdated perceptions and send a powerful message against gender biases in the domain of divorce.”
