Actor Mahhi Vij has finally addressed the ongoing speculation about her marriage to fellow actor Jay Bhanushali. Rumours suggesting trouble in their relationship and an impending divorce have been circulating for a while, but the actress has now chosen to speak up.
In a candid conversation on The Male Feminist podcast, Mahhi made it clear that she doesn’t owe anyone an explanation about her personal life.
Mahhi Vij Breaks Silence on Divorce Speculation
Speaking openly on the podcast, Mahhi responded firmly to the buzz about her relationship status.
“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’ (She is decent, but Jay is not). Then somebody else writes, ‘Jay accha hai, Mahi hi aise hai’ (Jay is good, but she is not). They just want to blame someone. Do you even know the truth? What do you know?"
“Just Live and Let Live,” Says Mahhi on Society’s Judgment
Mahhi also opened up about the stigma surrounding single mothers and divorce in Indian society.
“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."
