Recent reports and social media buzz have surrounded television personalities Mahhi Vij and Jay Bhanushali, fueled by speculation of a divorce. The rumors gained traction after reports surfaced online, alleging that the couple had finalized their divorce after 14 years of marriage. These reports also suggested that custody of their three children had been settled.
Mahhi Vij has addressed these circulating rumors in a recent YouTube video titled “My Reply To All The Controversies”. In the video, she spoke about the media speculation and false reports that have been circulating online. She urged everyone to respect their privacy and stop spreading misinformation that affects her family and children.
One of the rumors addressed was the claim that she demanded ₹5 crore as alimony. Mahhi refuted this claim, asking for proof of such a demand. She also shared her perspective on the concept of alimony in general, stating that she has never understood it. She expressed her belief that if a woman is capable of earning her own money, she should be financially independent and not rely on her husband. However, she also acknowledged that support is understandable for women who have never worked.
In her response to the divorce and alimony rumors, Mahhi emphasized the importance of respecting personal boundaries. She explained how such news affects her family, especially her children. She shared that her son had seen a news report about the situation, highlighting the impact of the rumors on her family.
Despite the rumors and speculation, Mahhi made it clear that Jay is still her family. She described him as a wonderful father and human being. She also urged people not to believe any news until she confirms it herself.
The initial rumors suggested that trust issues were a significant reason behind the couple's alleged strained relationship. It was also noted that they had stopped posting pictures together on social media, with their last collaborative family post being in June 2024. Following the reports of separation, Jay Bhanushali shared photos from a trip with his daughters, while Mahhi Vij reportedly moved into a new house with the kids.
In July 2025, Mahhi addressed the divorce rumors in an interview, questioning why she should have to explain her personal life to others. She questioned whether people were her relatives or would pay her lawyer's fees. She also expressed her frustration with people blaming either her or Jay, emphasizing that they don't know the truth. She also spoke about how society views single mothers and divorces differently, assuming there will be drama and mud-slinging. She expressed that there is a lot of pressure from society and advocated for a "live and let live" approach.
