Rati Agnihotri, a celebrated Bollywood actress of the 1980s, endured a harrowing 30-year-long abusive marriage with businessman and architect Anil Virwani. After marrying him in 1985, she gave up her thriving career, only to face domestic violence early on in the marriage. For three decades, she suffered physical abuse, often hidden and strategically aimed at parts of her body not visible in public, maintaining a facade of a happy family while privately enduring immense pain[1][2][4]. She stayed in the marriage primarily for the sake of her son, Tanuj Virwani, born in 1986, and due to her deep belief in the sanctity of marriage and hope that her husband would change. Despite the abuse, she kept silent and presented a cheerful demeanor publicly, until a particularly violent episode in 2015 led her to realize that she might die beaten to death. This prompted her to finally file a domestic violence case against her husband and seek divorce[1][3][4][5]. Rati expressed surprise and hurt at media reactions and denial about her claims when she spoke out, emphasizing that her son was the main reason she endured the pain for so many years. Her decision to end the marriage was slow but resolute, marking an end to her long silence on the abuse she suffered[6][8]. Key points: - Married in 1985 and quit films to focus on family. - Experienced continuous physical abuse for 30 years. - Abuse was carefully concealed from the public. - Stayed for her son and belief in marriage. - Filed a complaint and left the marriage in 2015. - Publicly spoke out against domestic violence after decades of silence[1][3][4][5][6][8].
