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.

agree Shera Lyn Parpia : Colloquially speaking I'd say "Tell him/her the truth" sounds better.

agree Qudsia Lone : In the absence of context, this is the better translation. 'haqeeqat' can also be translated as 'truth.'

make someone face reality

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