TV couple Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij have been in the news for their troubled marriage. Reacting to claims, the actress has warned netizens of legal action few days back. Amid this, rumours were rife that she is taking Rs 5 crore alimony from Jay. Recently, the actress dropped a video on her YouTube channel and urged everyone not to interfere in their personal life.
Mahhi Vij on alimony claims and divorce rumours
In her recent vlog, Mahhi said, “Jab proof ho, tab baat kijiye. Mujhe alimony hi samajh nahi aata. Mere liye, agar ek insaan paise kamaye hain, toh ek aurat ka uss par haq nahi banta jab aap rishte se alag ho jaate ho. Main yeh baat apne liye nahi, balki samaj ke liye, as a woman keh rahi hoon. Mujhe lagta hai woh paise uss insaan ke hain jisne kamaye hain.”
She added, “If someone wants to take care of you with love, then well and good. But it is permissible for women who are housewives. Women who have no work and have never gone to work, it is permissible for them. But you can work. Jab raaste alag ho jaate hain, toh apna khud kamao, aur jab saath mein ho, tab bhi har ladki ko financially independent hona chahiye, na ki apne father ya husband ke paison par dependent. (I think you should get up, work and earn for yourself. Because when the paths separate, you should earn for yourself).”

While the actress did not clarify whether she and Jay are getting divorced, Mahhi said, “Please do not believe any news until I say it. Please respect our privacy, our children’s, our family’s, and our parents’ privacy. Please leave us alone. If we ever feel the need to share something, we will. Jay is my family, and he will always be my family. He is a wonderful father to my children and a wonderful human being.”
