Celebrity makeup artist Hiyavi Saigal made some shocking revelations about physical abuse by her former boyfriend. She has done makeup for Shraddha Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and others. She conducted a Q&A on Instagram with her fans. A user asked her about the physical abuse when she was dating her boss Florian, who is also a makeup artist. Hiyavi opened up in details as to how she was physically and mentally abused by him. She wrote, “It started as a boss assistant relationship and turned into friendship very shortly. We were both dating other people and then shortly we realised we were in love. It all moved very quickly from dating to moving into taking an apartment to getting engaged.”.

Sharing the details of the abuse, she wrote that Florian broke her down to a point where she didn’t recognise herself. “It started with trying to control each part of my life – work, friendships, my schedule and when I rebelled a bit it would turn into violence. He slowly and very charmingly sucked me in and I called it love. It started with a push, then a slap increased with time. It was broken bones, bruises all over and he would put me in the tub every time and break down. It would feel like my fault. I started drinking to feel numb with just cause more violence cause I started talking and fighting back,” she wrote.

She didn’t file any charges because she was emotionally weak. She wrote, “He took me from me and he took my dog and my money”. She further wrote that he almost killed her and she is glad to be alive. Hiyavi also penned that she now has PTSD and trust issues. “I haven’t been able to be in a relationship not because I am not ready because I know my worth and I won’t settle for less,” she wrote.
