Television actors Mahhi Vij and Jay Bhanushali have officially confirmed their separation after 14 years of marriage. The couple, who married in 2011, released a joint statement on January 4, 2026, through their social media accounts, ending months of speculation regarding their relationship. They emphasized a mutual and amicable decision, focusing on co-parenting their three children—Tara, Khushi, and Rajveer—with respect and without negativity. Shortly after this announcement, Mahhi Vij posted a heartfelt birthday message for her close friend, Nadim Nadz (also known as Nadeem Qureshi). In the emotional tribute, she expressed a profound 'soul connection' with him, describing him as her 'heart, home, and family.' This post sparked further discussion, though reports clarify that the bond is primarily one of deep platonic friendship. Interestingly, Nadim Nadz is also known for his strong association with Salman Khan, serving as CEO of Salman Khan Television. Concurrent with the separation news, Mahhi Vij strongly refuted earlier widespread rumors claiming she was seeking ₹5 crore in alimony from Jay Bhanushali. She addressed these allegations in a YouTube vlog, dismissing them as 'false narratives' and 'sad,' stating that she believes a woman has no right to a man's hard-earned money during a separation. Legal sources also indicated that Mahhi declined any financial support or maintenance from Jay. Both Mahhi and Jay have reiterated their commitment to providing a stable and loving environment for their children, choosing peace and dignity over conflict.
