Mahhi Vij On Divorce Rumours With Jay Bhanushali: 'Tum Mere Lawyer Ki Fees Doge?'
Mahhi Vij has finally addressed her divorce rumours with Jay Bhanushali. For a long time now, reports claiming the two television actors have been facing issues and are planning to get separated soon have been making headlines. In a recent interview, Mahhi talked about the same and made it clear that she does not feel the need to clarify.
'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? I see people writing in my comments section, 'Mahi toh decent hai, Jay aisa hai'. Then somebody else writes, 'Jay accha hai, Mahi hi aise hai'. They just want to blame someone. Do you even know the truth? What do you know?" she told Hauterrfly.
'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," the actress added.
Mahhi Vij and Jay Bhanushali tied the knot in 2011 and are proud parents to three children – Tara, Khushi and Rajveer. Recently, Mahhi also opened up about how she and her husband, Jay Bhanushali, were not on the same page when it came to having children. The actress said that she was ready for motherhood early on in their marriage and had even started her IVF journey, while Jay wanted more time.
On the work front, Mahhi made a name for herself with Laagi Tujhse Lagan, where she played the much-loved character Nakusha. She later worked in Balika Vadhu and has also been a contestant in renowned reality shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi, Jhalak Dikhla Jaa and Nach Baliye. In fact, Jay and Mahhi went on to win Nach Baliye 5 in 2013. Currently, the actress is on a break from work, barring a few guest appearances on reality shows.

Anjuum Faakih reveals she was 'diagnosed with depression': I didn't have work for two years (Exclusive)
Actress Anjuum Faakih has been away 'not just from the limelight, but from everything for a while'. 'The truth is, I didn't have work for almost two years. One day you're out there, and the next, you're not. I didn't know how to face the paps, or even answer the simple question, 'What are you doing next?' when I genuinely had no answer. I feared being judged… or worse, being laughed at. So, I chose silence,' Anjuum tells us. 'I was diagnosed with depression ' The actress who was last seen in Khatron ke Khiladi , admits she wasn't 'okay for a long time' mentally while she was on a hiatus. 'I was feeling lost, disconnected… like I was carrying a weight I couldn't name. And no, I don't want to romanticize struggle, but I do want to normalize saying, 'I'm not okay.' The moment you admit something's wrong is the moment healing begins. That's what I've been doing—step by step, day by day. And now, I'm finally starting to see a little light again,' she recalls. Anjuum's struggle with depression started when she was 19. 'I didn't fully understand it back then. I just knew something was off. I was eventually diagnosed with depression,' she confesses. Since then 'it's been a long and quiet journey'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Le Bitcoin Franchit la Barre des 90 000$ ! Explorer les Causes de la Hausse des Prix eToro Market Updates Learn More Undo 'It's just waking up and carrying a heaviness you can't explain to anyone. I have lived through that. But I have also lived through the healing, through the support of doctors, medication, friends, and just learning how to be kind to myself on the hard days. I am sharing this now not because I want sympathy, but because I think it's important to normalise it. To let people know that mental health is real, and managing it doesn't make you weak, it makes you incredibly strong. If my story helps even one person feel less alone, then I think it's worth saying out loud,' she adds. 'I used up almost all my savings' In the midst, Anjuum said 'no to a few projects' and maintained distance from work. 'Because I didn't feel like myself. After I gained some weight, I started getting offered roles that didn't feel right. I needed to feel good inside and out before facing the camera again. Sometimes, it's okay to pause and say, 'Not right now.' I just wanted to return when I could give my 100%,' she shares. Saying no to work also means halting your daily income, which can become a challenge in the long run. Talking about her finances, she comments, 'I didn't 'manage' I survived. It's been really tough. I used up almost all my savings just to get by. There were days I'd sit staring at my bank app, wondering how much longer I could stretch it. Saying no to work when you're financially strained is terrifying. But I had to choose between short-term money and long-term peace. And that choice came at a cost. I'm still figuring it out, but I have faith something will shift.' Did this financial strain affect her peace and confidence? She replies, 'Yes, absolutely. It took a toll on every part of me and my life, my choices, even my confidence. Every time I said no to a project, a part of me panicked. The savings kept going down, and it started showing—in my sleep, my thoughts, my lifestyle. But even in those tough moments, I kept reminding myself: I'd rather wait for the right thing than say yes to something that doesn't feel right. And that belief kept me going.' The Kundali Bhagya actress, will be soon seen in Chhoriyan Chale Gaon and is feeling much better now. 'I feel lighter, stronger, more alive. I'm finally in a space where I feel ready. Ready to work, to show up, to live fully again,' she concludes.
