Pardes actress shared that she has never raised a hand on her children and even as an actor, scenes in which she has to hit someone make her very uneasy. However, such situations are often written in the script and cannot be avoided.
She hopes that one day, violence on TV will be limited to criminals who deserve it and not female characters who are often the ones on the receiving end of slaps.
