Television actress Mahhi Vij has publicly addressed ongoing divorce rumors with her husband, Jay Bhanushali, questioning why personal separations become such a public spectacle.
Addressing the Whispers
Mahhi Vij and Jay Bhanushali have been married for 14 years. However, in recent months, speculation about their separation has been circulating.
These rumors gained traction as their appearances on each other’s social media platforms reportedly decreased. This led many fans and followers to wonder about the state of their long-standing relationship.
A Blunt Response to Curiosity
During a recent interview with Hauterrfly, Mahhi was directly asked if she wanted to issue a clear statement regarding the divorce rumors. Her answer was a simple, firm “No.”
She then elaborated on her stance, challenging the interviewer and, by extension, the public’s perceived right to know about her personal life. “If there is a possible separation or not, why should I tell you?” she questioned.
Mahhi further emphasized her point with a sharp remark: “Tum mere chacha lagte ho ya tum mere lawyer ki fees doge ya tum mera acha divorce karaoge?” (Are you my uncle or will you pay for my lawyer or will you help me get a good divorce?). She expressed her frustration with the societal tendency to sensationalize separations.
Navigating Online Scrutiny
Mahhi also touched upon the negative comments she encounters online. She noted how people in the comment sections often try to pit her against Jay, or vice versa, by making judgmental remarks about their individual characters.
“These days, they are writing in my comments that Mahhi is nice but Jay is not, or somewhere they will write, Jay is nice but Mahhi is not,” she shared. She highlighted the absurdity of strangers making such assessments without any real insight into their lives.
“What do you know? The ones who are judging, what do you know? You are acting like everyone’s uncle, what do you know?” she asked, calling out the unsolicited opinions.
Challenging Societal Taboos
The actress also spoke about the immense societal pressure and judgment surrounding topics like divorce and single motherhood. She observed that there’s an immediate assumption of conflict and drama when a couple faces separation.
“Yahan pe bada voh ho gaya hai ki ‘single mother, divorce, ab toh koi scene hoga. Divorce hone vala hai to ab yeh dono ek dusre pe keechad uchalenge, gandagi hogi’,” she explained. This translates to “There’s too much attention around, ‘single mother, divorce, they will fight now. Divorce is going to happen so they will speak ill about each other’.”
Mahhi believes that much of this scrutiny stems from societal expectations and the fear of what “people will say.” Her clear message is to “live and let live,” advocating for greater privacy and less judgment regarding personal relationships.
