Mahhi Vij & Jay Bhanushali’s Personal Life

Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij got married in 2011 and are parents to three kids: their biological daughter Tara (born 2019) and two foster children, Khushi and Rajveer, who were welcomed into their family in 2017.

The Couple (Mahhi & Jay) Announced Separation

In January 2026, actor Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij's divorce was finalized after 15 years of marriage. The couple released a joint statement emphasizing that their separation is mutual, friendly, and respectful, free of any animosity.

They highlighted their commitment to co-parenting their children and maintaining a supportive relationship despite the separation. This brought comfort to supporters and the press who had been puzzled by earlier denied divorce speculation.

Reason Behind Divorce

Television pair Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij have recently declared their separation, shocking their fans. Shortly after the announcement was made, a name that started trending on social media was Nadim Nadz, igniting widespread interest and conjecture.

The excitement began when Mahhi posted a picture with Nadim on social media, which rapidly sparked dating speculation. Numerous media outlets and social media users unjustly linked Nadim to the separation of Jay and Mahhi, holding him accountable for their divorce without any justification.

Who Is Nadim Nadz?

Nadim Nadz, whom Mahhi frequently calls her “best friend,” is also among the closest friends of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. They have an enduring personal and professional connection.

Nadim serves as the founder and managing partner of SK TV, the television production company of Salman Khan, and supervises numerous TV and digital projects of the actor, including hit shows such as The Kapil Sharma Show.

Salman Khan often discusses their friendship and has referred to Nadim as his closest and oldest friend, even labeling him a brother in various birthday messages.

Mahhi’s Birthday Post Fuelled Speculations

Mahhi's birthday message for Nadim on Instagram, in which she expressed their strong emotional connection and labeled him as her family and safe haven, sparked online speculation.

Celeb Slams Trolls

Actress Ankita Lokhande subsequently took action to clarify the situation, firmly supporting Mahhi and Nadim. In an Instagram story, Ankita mentioned that Nadim has consistently been a father figure to Mahhi and Jay, as well as a father to their daughter Tara, dispelling all rumors.

Jay Bhanushali responded by reposting Ankita’s statement on his Instagram Stories, showing his support and expressing gratitude for her courage to speak out.

Mahhi also posted a story on her Instagram, slamming trolls for linking her name with Nadim. She clarified that her daughter calls Nadim ‘Abba’ with the acceptance of both her and her husband.

In a world obsessed with instant judgments, Mahhi and Jay’s story reminds us that not every separation needs a villain. Sometimes, mutual respect speaks louder than rumours.
