Days after announcing their separation, television actors Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij found themselves back in the spotlight for a touching family moment. Mahhi recently surprised her daughter Tara with a brand new Mini Cooper, reportedly worth around Rs 50 lakh, a gesture that quickly went viral on social media and drew widespread attention.
Mahhi Vij bought a lavish Mini Cooper
Mahhi shared a video of the emotional moment online, showing the family welcoming the car home. Explaining the reason behind the special gift, she wrote, “This is not about luxury. This is about a wish. When my daughter was four years old, she saw a Mini Cooper and said, ‘Mama, one day I want this car.’ At that time, I couldn’t afford it and I wasn’t even sure if giving such a thing to a child was right.”
She went on to explain that the decision was rooted in creating memories rather than indulging in extravagance. “Years later, I realised it is not about the price tag. It is about giving her a memory. This is about our little drives, our laughter, our time together. These moments are priceless,” Mahhi shared, adding that the gift was meant to celebrate love, effort and shared experiences.
Jay Bhanushali shared a video congratulating them
What caught many by surprise was Jay Bhanushali’s response to the post. Despite the couple recently confirming their separation, Jay publicly congratulated Mahhi and Tara. He reshared the video on his social media and commented simply, “Congratulations,” alongside a picture of Mahhi and their daughter posing proudly with the new car. His gesture was widely appreciated and seen as a sign of mutual respect and healthy co parenting.
Jay and Mahhi had earlier announced their decision to part ways after over a decade together. In their statement, they stressed that the separation was amicable. They had said, “There is no villain in this story. This decision comes from a place of mutual respect and understanding, and we will always be there for our children.”
The Mini Cooper moment has since been viewed by fans as a reflection of that promise. Despite personal changes, both Jay and Mahhi appear committed to maintaining a supportive and positive environment for their daughter. The heartfelt gesture, coupled with Jay’s public support, has resonated strongly with audiences, highlighting that family bonds can remain intact even as relationships evolve.
