Television’s beloved couple Mahhi (Mahi) Vij and Jay Bhanushali have surprised fans with big news. After almost 15 years of marriage, the pair announced that they are parting ways.
The news comes after months of speculation about trouble in their marriage. Both Mahhi and Jay shared a note on their Instagram Stories, explaining their decision.
Choosing peace and friendship
Their message was clear. This separation comes from a place of understanding, not conflict. “Today, we choose to part ways on a journey called life, yet we continue to have each other’s back. Peace, growth, kindness and humanity have always been our guiding values,” they wrote.
The couple emphasised that there is no negativity or villain in their story. “Though we walk separate paths, there is no villain in this story and no negativity attached to this decision. We chose peace over drama and sanity above all else,” they added.
Committed to co-parenting
Mahhi and Jay made it clear that their children remain their top priority. They are parents to three children: Tara, Khushi, and Ranjveer. They promised to stay strong as co-parents.
“For the sake of our children Tara, Khushi, Ranjveer, we commit to being the best parents, the best friends, and whatever else it takes to do what is right for them,” the couple said.
Despite going their separate ways, they plan to continue supporting each other and maintaining a friendship.
“We continue to respect one another, support one another, and remain friends, as we always have been. With mutual respect, we ask for your respect, love and kindness as we move forward,” they concluded.
Mahhi Vij-Jay Bhanushali relationship and marriage
Mahhi and Jay’s love story began long before marriage. They tied the knot in 2011, after dating for some time. The couple later welcomed their children into the family in unique ways: they fostered two children, Rajveer and Khushi, in 2017, and celebrated the birth of their biological daughter Tara in 2019.
