Jay Bhanushali Says Mahhi Vij, Daughter Tara Will Always Be His Responsibility

MUMBAI-Actor Jay Bhanushali has extended his support to actress and ex-wife Mahhi Vij after she revealed that she had refused alimony during their divorce proceedings, assuring her that he would continue to stand by her and their daughter, Tara.

Responding to a post shared on Mahhi’s social media account by her team, Jay said money would never come between them and that their separation would not change his love and respect for either of them.

“Be strong, Mahhi. We both know we’ll always be there for each other in hard times. Money was never between us and never will be. You and Tara will always be my responsibility for life. A marriage status can never change the love and respect I have for you both. I’m always here,” he wrote.

Jay’s response came after Mahhi became emotional on the reality show ‘Bigg Boss 20’ while discussing her experience as a single mother and her decision to refuse alimony to secure her daughter’s future independently.

“I am a single mother. I know how my day goes. Jay pushes me to go out and live my life. He says, ‘You go out, you don’t go anywhere. You sit at home for Tara’. My life revolves around my child. Do you know? I did not take a single alimony. I do everything on my own so that my child’s life is secure,” she said.

Mahhi also revealed that the judge had asked her four times during the court proceedings to reconsider her decision and accept alimony. However, she maintained that Jay had worked hard for his earnings and that she did not want to take his money.

She clarified that her decision was not because Jay was unwilling to help her. Mahhi said she knew he was willing to support her and that his locker remained open to her, but she wanted to build financial security for herself and Tara independently. (IANS)
