Reports of trouble in the marriage of popular television couple Mahhi Vij and Jay Bhanushali have been circulating for some time. Now, the two have officially announced their separation through a social media post.
Both Mahhi and Jay shared a note on their respective Instagram Stories, announcing their decision to part ways after nearly 15 years of marriage.
The post read, “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 emphasized their commitment to being good parents to their three children while leading their individual lives.
“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,” they added.
Mahhi and Jay clarified that their separation does not stem from a negative place. “Though we walk separate paths, there is no villain in this story and no negativity attached to this decision. Before any conclusions are drawn, please know that we chose peace over drama and sanity above all else,” they wrote.
They expressed a desire to remain friends and continue supporting one another. “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,” the post concluded.
After dating for some time, Mahhi and Jay tied the knot in 2011. The couple fostered two children, Rajveer and Khushi, in 2017 and welcomed their biological daughter Tara in 2019.
