In a heartfelt and candid address to her fans, popular television actress Mahhi Vij has spoken out about her recent divorce from actor and host Jay Bhanushali. The couple, who announced their separation on mutual terms, is now setting a powerful example of an amicable and respectful breakup, prioritising their children's well-being above all else.
Addressing the Hate and False Claims
Through a recent vlog on her YouTube channel, Mahhi Vij directly confronted the barrage of hate comments and rampant speculation swirling on social media following the divorce news. She expressed deep disappointment over the spread of what she called 'half information.' The actress specifically targeted false claims about financial settlements, vehemently denying rumours that she had taken a hefty alimony sum.
"I'm reading things like 'Mahhi took 5 crore in alimony,'" she revealed, visibly upset. She criticised individuals for digging up old videos purely for generating likes and comments, calling the behaviour "so sad." Mahhi emphasised the real-world impact of such baseless gossip, noting that their parents and children also see these hurtful posts on Instagram.
A Blueprint for a Peaceful Separation
Moving beyond the rumours, Mahhi Vij shed light on the actual nature of her split from Jay Bhanushali. She confirmed that everything remains good between them and that they consciously chose to part ways on a cordial and healthy note. For the actress, this approach is not just personal but pedagogical for their children.
"I think it is a very good example for the children as well," Mahhi stated. She explained that when relationships don't work out, it doesn't necessitate a descent into negativity, legal battles, or bad behaviour. "I feel my kids will be proud of both me and Jay that even though Mama and Papa didn't feel they wanted to continue the marriage, they handled it in a calmer and better way," she added.
Her philosophy is clear: "There comes a point when you realise that nothing is more important than peace, and no person is more important than your own inner peace."
United in Parenthood, Forever Friends
Mahhi Vij put all concerns about their children's future to rest with a firm and reassuring declaration. She affirmed that she and Jay will always remain friends, united by their love for their kids. The couple has a daughter and is also raising three other children.
"There is no question of who will take responsibility and who won't. We will both take equal responsibility, and we both love them equally," she asserted. Dismissing any notion of neglect, Mahhi assured that the children's lives will continue with stability and care. "It's not like the kids have come on the road and there's nobody to take care of them. They will continue to get what they were getting before," she concluded, highlighting their commitment to shared and equal parenting despite the end of their marital relationship.
