disagree  Qudsia Lone: Though this translation sounds better, there is an assumption here that the subject is male, whereas it could also be female or plural (her, them), or something else like 'someone,' 'these people,' 'the world' etc.

make someone face reality


Explanation:
although the source phrase does not contain the term 'kisi'='someone', I think this translation could also fit the context

Example sentence(s):
  • kisi ko haqeeqat dikhana
