Mumbai, Jan 5 (NationPress) Trishala Dutt, the eldest daughter of actor Sanjay Dutt, recently posted a cryptic message on social platforms, addressing the issue of emotional manipulation through silent treatment in relationships. As a psychotherapist based in the United States, Trishala emphasized that some individuals resort to punishing their partners for maintaining their boundaries or differing viewpoints instead of expressing their feelings directly.

She stated, "They are quietly 'teaching' you that your voice is perilous, and that voicing your thoughts will likely sever your connection with them."

Trishala highlighted that such treatment is unacceptable, asserting that "Silence used as punishment is abuse." She encouraged anyone experiencing this to reject such behavior and safeguard their peace.

"True relationships do not impart lessons through suffering; they foster healing via open communication," she noted.

Offering a healthier approach, Trishala suggested transitioning to a constructive form of silence, which should be prefaced with clear communication. For example, saying, "I require a few hours to gather my thoughts to avoid saying something hurtful."

This process should culminate in a productive dialogue about the underlying issues.

In her concluding remarks, she stated, "Silence that nurtures your well-being is self-respect. Silence that punishes others is a maneuver for power."

While her message wasn’t directed at anyone specifically, speculation arises regarding its implications for her family, including her father.

For context, Trishala is the daughter of Sanjay Dutt from his first marriage to the late Richa Sharma, who passed away in 1996 due to a brain tumor. Sanjay later married actress Maanayata Dutt in 2008, and they welcomed twins - son Shahraan and daughter Iqra - in 2010. Unlike her siblings, Trishala has chosen to maintain a distance from the public eye.
