Television actors Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij are reportedly heading for divorce after 14 years of marriage, with sources claiming the couple finalized separation papers earlier this year.
According to reports, the couple allegedly filed for divorce several months ago, with documentation completed between July and August. A source close to the situation confirmed that custody arrangements for their children have already been decided, though neither Jay nor Mahhi has publicly addressed these latest claims.
"Much was tried, but nothing changed. Separation happened a long time ago. They filed for divorce a couple of months back. The papers were signed and finalized in July-August, and the custody of the kids has also been decided," the source revealed.
Jay and Mahhi tied the knot in 2011 and share three children. Their family includes biological daughter Tara, born in 2019, and foster children Rajveer and Khushi, whom they welcomed into their home in 2017. The couple frequently shared glimpses of their family life on social media, making them a beloved presence among television audiences.
However, eagle-eyed fans have noticed changes in their online behavior. The couple, once known for collaborative family vlogs and joint social media posts, have noticeably distanced themselves on these platforms. Their last family post together appeared in June, sparking speculation among followers that something had shifted in their relationship.
This is not the first time divorce rumors have surrounded the couple. Earlier, Mahhi addressed such speculation during an appearance on The Male Feminist podcast, responding with characteristic forthrightness to public scrutiny of their marriage.
"Even if it is the case, why should I tell you? Are you my uncle? Will you pay my lawyer's fee?" Mahhi questioned, highlighting the intrusive nature of public commentary on private matters. She continued, "Why do people make such a big deal out of somebody's divorce or separation? I see people writing in my comments section about who's decent and who's not. They just want to blame someone. Do you even know the truth? What do you know?"
Fan reactions to the latest reports have been mixed. Some expressed hope that the rumors prove false, commenting that the couple seemed genuinely happy together. Others acknowledged noticing their growing distance on social media over recent months, suggesting something appeared amiss in their relationship.
Several supporters focused on wishing both parties well regardless of the outcome, with comments emphasizing hopes for peace and happiness for the entire family, particularly the children caught in the middle of adult decisions.
The entertainment industry has witnessed several high-profile separations recently, prompting discussions about the pressures celebrity couples face under constant public scrutiny. Jay and Mahhi's situation underscores how relationship challenges become magnified when lived in the public eye.
As neither party has confirmed or denied these reports, the true status of their marriage remains uncertain. Fans continue awaiting official word from the couple themselves.
