Amidst swirling rumors of a potential divorce between television actors Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij, Mahhi's recent cryptic social media post has added fuel to the speculative fire. The couple, who married in 2011 and have three children, have been the subject of separation rumors for some time.
The rumors gained momentum as fans noticed a decrease in joint appearances and social media posts featuring the couple. Instead, their individual accounts primarily showcase their children, further fueling speculation about trouble in their marriage.
Mahhi Vij addressed the rumors head-on during an appearance on the "Male Feminist" podcast. Rather than directly confirming or denying the speculations, she offered a cryptic response, stating, "Even if it is the case, why should I tell you? Are you my uncle? Will you pay my lawyer's fee? Why do people make such a big deal out of somebody's divorce or separation?".
Vij expressed frustration with the public's tendency to assign blame in such situations. "I see people writing in my comments section, 'Mahi toh decent hai, Jay aisa hai' (She is decent, but Jay is not). Then somebody else writes, 'Jay accha hai, Mahi hi aise hai' (Jay is good, but she is not). They just want to blame someone. Do you even know the truth? What do you know?". She highlighted the societal pressure and expectations surrounding marriage and divorce, particularly for women. "Here, people look at single mothers and divorces very differently. They assume there's going to be drama now that it'll turn into a big issue, that the two will start throwing mud at each other. I feel there's a lot of pressure from society. Just live and let live," she stated.
Mahhi and Jay have been considered a power couple since their marriage. In 2017, they fostered two children, Rajveer and Khushi, and in 2019, they welcomed their biological daughter, Tara. Mahhi is known for her roles in television series such as "Laagi Tujhse Lagan" and "Balika Vadhu," while Jay has appeared in "Kasautii Zindagii Kay" and "Geet – Hui Sabse Parayi," as well as hosting several reality shows. The couple also won the dance reality show "Nach Baliye 5" in 2013.
